This ensures variety of soil to ensure that all the site is safe‚ not just a small area where you would have taken your first sample from. I will return to the lab with the samples of soil I have extracted from the site. Here I will make a solution from the samples in order to carry out the identification tests. In order to turn my soil samples

The Grignard Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Abstract: Grignard synthesis of triphenylmethanol was achieved by use of the Grignard reagent phenyl magesium brominde. The organometallic grignard reagent was synthesized by use of a reflux apparatus recrystallization techniques. Once synthesized it was used in a Grignard reaction that involved nucleophilic addition to a carbonyl in order to make triphenylmethanol. The final product was solidified and recrystallized and spectral data was

Lab #5-Enzymes NAME DATE LAB PERIOD Introduction Enzymes are proteins‚ though highly complex and diverse‚ they serve one basic function; to work as an organic catalyst. A catalyst‚ as defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary‚ is a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate ("Catalyst-Definition and more."). They function by reducing the activation energy‚ or energy required to start a reaction. The way enzymatic reaction works cannot be altered‚ but the

Multistep Synthesis of Benzilic Acid The synthesis of several complex organic compounds follows a multistep synthesis. "Multistep synthesis" refers to the procedure in which the product of one reaction serves as the starting material in the subsequent reaction. The multistep synthesis of benzilic acid begins with a conversion benzaldehyde to benzoin through a condensation reaction. The benzoin then oxidizes into benzil‚ which undergoes rearrangement to give benzilic acid. Benzoin Synthesis * When

FOUNDATION IN SCIENCE INTRODUCTION TO PRACTICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY – MAKING AND PURIFYING ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Stage 1 – Deciding how much reagent to use Most organic reactions do not go to completion; most reach an equilibrium position with significant quantities of reactants still remaining. In addition‚ separating the desired product from the rest of the reaction mixture‚ and then purifying it‚ will result in the loss of more of the product. The amount of product obtained expressed as a percentage

Bita Heydari Lab report 3 The Effects of Differentiation on Enzymatic Activity Introduction HL-60 cells are capable of undergoing differentiation to induce different cell types. HL-60 cells can undergo morphological changes‚ changes in gene expression‚ and changes in protein synthesis. In the past weeks‚ we were able to conclude that HL-60 cells treated with DMSO and HL-60 cells treated with PMA will differentiate into granulocytes and monocytes upon treatment (1). We were also able to observe

Synthesis of Benzoin Date of Experiment: 1-26-15 Chelsea Price Lab Partner: Joey Simmons Abstract: In this experiment‚ benzoin was synthesized from benzaldehyde‚ using thiamine hydrochloric acid as a catalyst. The thiamine HCl was deprotonated by sodium hydroxide and acted as a nucleophile to attack the benzaldehyde. A water-cooled condenser was used to heat the solution at reflux. Vacuum filtration was used to wash and dry the product. The benzoin product was recrystallized

Purpose Acetophenetidin can be formed through two methods‚ Williamson ether synthesis and amide synthesis. By working in groups of two we were able to complete both methods of synthesis routes. The end result should be the synthesis of a similar product‚ by verification between the two individuals. Reaction Experiment and Observations Amide Synthesis of Acetophenetidin The Synthesis reaction began by removing the colored impurities from the p-phenetidine‚ accomplished by mixing

synthesised is only 67%-70% and a maximum 70% yield of ester usually is not considered to be acceptable for a synthesis reaction‚ instead it is considering as a poor yield of ester. The synthesised ester can only have a maximum yield of 70% because for ester in which the carboxylic acid and alcohol are sterically unhindered‚ a same ratio mixture of carboxylic acid and alcohol can only synthesis ester with a maximum yield of 70% ester as the reaction with the same ration of mixture will reach a state

follows a semi microscale technique even a small amount of lost product yields a great loss in the yield 4. These sources of error could be minimized by doing a larger reflux in order to increase the yield. However‚ as the purpose was to simply synthesis SnI4 in order to identify the stable oxidation states (the melting point range requires very little product) it would be advantageous to use the current method. This is due to the smaller quantity of materials needed for this type of reflux‚ thus
