aMicroscale Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate (Banana Oil) Objective: Carried out the microscale synthesis of isopentyl acetate by direct esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol. This was an acid catalyzed Fischer esterification. Both extraction and distillation were employed to obtain a pure product. IR spectroscopy and gas chromatography were used to determine purity of the final product. Reagents: * Compound: | * MW (g/mol): | * MP (°C): | * BP (°C): | * Density (g/mL):

The Cyclohexanol Cycle and Nylon Synthesis Samantha Stuckey CHE 233L Section 302 Department of Chemistry‚ DePaul University‚ 1110 W. Belden Avenue‚ Chicago‚ IL 60614 smstuckey@comcast.net May 8th‚ 2013 Abstract The first three labs of this organic chemistry experiment involved carrying out the first three parts of the Cyclohexanol Cycle. The cyclohexanol was first converted to cyclohexene and water by simple distillation (product: 6.5395g‚ 79.75% recovery). The cyclohexene then underwent a bromination

Assignment 37: Synthesis Essay As Martin Buber holds “relationship of supreme importance‚” we must hold relationships and people of supreme importance. (Littlejohn & Domenici 2007‚ p. 243). People are not objects “to be changed‚ reduced and manipulated.” (Littlejohn & Domenici 2007‚ p. 243). When we start treating people as objects we are building the I-It relationship with them. (Littlejohn & Domenici‚ 2007). This type of relationship fails to move towards value because people feel mistreated

Synthesis Essay “Sixteen-point nine percent of children and teens are obese” (Huffington Post). Childhood obesity is becoming a greater problem in today’s society because of the readily availability of foods‚ appealing commercials‚ and the children themselves. I think that food industries are out to make money without offering healthier alternatives or taking an interest on how it affects the children. With more sugary foods being developed‚ kids are more prone to wanting to have that food in their

1. In the Luminol synthesis the compound being oxidized was the sodium hydrosulfite. 2. The purpose of the acetic acid is to pronate the dianon organic molecule to make the neutral organic compound‚ Luminol that will crash out of the solvent. If the number of moles were reversed for acetic acid and sodium hydroxide the solution would be very basic‚ and and the amount of Luminol produced would decrease. 3. The cold water was used to decrease the solubility of Luminol in the solvent and prevent further

In the experiment‚ synthesis of copper compounds‚ the purpose was to recover the original amount of copper after series of chemical reactions. Then returning the copper back to its original form. The copper wire originally weighted 1.0099 g‚ but after the copper was transformed into Cu(OH)2 to CuO to CuSO4 and finally into Cu‚ the mass of the recovered copper was 1.1023g; the percent yield was 109%. Since the percent yield is more than 100%‚ an error must have occurred somewhere in the lab. A possible

Experiment 11: Synthesis of Dibenzalacetone by the Aldol condensation Introduction: The Aldol condensation reaction‚ under basic conditions‚ involves the nucleophilic addition of an enolate ion to another carbonyl group. The resulting product‚ a beta-hydroxy ketone or aldehyde‚ is called an aldol because it contains both and aldehyde group and the hydroxy group of alcohol. Condensations‚ including aldol condensation‚ combine two or more molecules‚ typically with a loss of a smaller molecule (including

First‚ the synthesis of the coordination compound‚ KaFeb(ox)cdH2O‚ needed to be carried out. This was achieved by weighing out 8.29 grams of K2C2O4 with a Dial-a-gram balance. Once measured‚ the 8.29 grams K2C2O4 were placed in a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask. 25 mL of deionized water were then added to the 125 mL flask and stirred with the K2C2O4 until complete dissolution was achieved. Next‚ 4.11 grams of FeCl3 were weighed out using the balance previously mentioned. Once the 4.11 grams were measured
