Experiment 1: Synthesis of Copper Compounds Introduction This experiment involves the synthesis of compounds originating from pure solid copper. By applying solubility rules and the reactive properties of substances‚ many compounds which would otherwise be costly to extract from nature are able to be synthesized in the laboratory. Laboratory synthesized may sometimes be more economical than natural extraction‚ however it poses its own problems with the amount of substance that is actually yielded

The objective of this experiment was to synthesize 3-nitrochalcone from 3- nitrobenzaldehyde. This was accomplished with a Diels-Alder reaction that utilized 3-nitrobenzaldehyde and acetophenone. After the reaction was completed‚ purification of the product was conducted using semi-microscale recrystallization. The melting point of the product was 136-141 oC‚ which is in the close vicinity of the literature melting point of 146 oC. The theoretical yield of 3-nitrochalcone was 0.253g and the

The former reaction is comparably slower to the latter‚ resulting in codeine being deactivated faster than it’s activated. The CYP2D6 enzyme is genetically polymorphic‚ and 5-10% of the population have decreased CYP2D6

Acid Discussion: In this experiment‚ benzoin was oxidized by nitric acid to benzil‚ which in turn was rearranged to benzilic acid. Prior to beginning the experiment‚ the theoretical yield of benzil was discovered. The limiting reactant in the reaction‚ benzoin + nitric acid benzil‚ was benzoin at 0.00141 moles. This value was discovered by the initial amount of the reactants used: 0.30 grams benzoin and 1.5 ml Nitric Acid (see Eq 1). Using the moles of the limiting reagent benzoin‚ the theoretical

Experiment 4 Synthesis of Salicylic Acid Introduction Throughout history‚ botanical extracts have been used as medicines. Approximately 30% of all medicines have a plant origin. This number increases to 60% if you consider medicines that at one time were derived from plants‚ but have been synthesized in the laboratory. Salicylic acid is a white crystalline compound that can be isolated from the bark of birch trees. Since it is a valuable substance that can be isolated from nature‚ it is called

Multistep Synthesis of Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone Author: Instructor: Date work performed: 10.18.2012--10.25.2012 Date work submitted: 11.01.2012 Abstract: The aim of this experiment was to perform a multistep synthesis to form tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The first step of the reactions was to synthesize benzoin from the condensation of benzaldehyde. A yield of 28.91% benzoin was obtained. The MP of benzoin was 127O-130O C and the IR spectra displayed a carbonyl peak at 3415 cm-1

Synthesis of benzilic acid from benzoin utilizing a multi-step reaction. Names: Arian Karim TA Name: Sayantan Das Lab Day & Time: Thursday 7:30-11:40 Lab Section #: Abstract The main purpose of this experiment was to synthesize benzilic acid from benzoin. This requires a multistep synthesis with benzyl as an intermediate product. The first step required HNO3 as an oxidizing agent and the second step required KOH and HCl. The percentage yields of benzil and benzilic acid were 59.5%
