13‚ 2015 Answers to Questions: 1.) Arrangement of Reactivity: (fastest to slowest) - Phenol‚ Nitrophenol‚ Acetanilide‚ Benzene‚ Chlorobenzene‚ Aniline - A reaction has occurred if there’s a change in color. The nature of the substituent‚ whether electron-donating to the ring or electron-withdrawing from the ring‚ was responsible for the reactivity of the benzene. Aniline and acetanilide contain amine groups‚ which are electron-donating. Chlorobenzene contains chlorine‚ which is electron-withdrawing

corrosive‚ harmful if inhaled‚ flammable and can cause burns (handle in fume hood) Gloves are recommended to avoid chemical contact with skin Reaction Scheme: Conversion of acetanilide to p-bromoacetanilide Procedure: To a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing a mixture of 95% ethanol (6 mL) and acetic acid (5 mL)‚ dissolve acetanilide (7.4 mmol) and sodium bromide (1.8 g). Place the reaction flask in an ice bath (at least 5oC) for 5 minutes (keep this reaction in the hood). Add sodium hypochlorite (8

In the first part of this experiment acetic anhydride was used to prepare acetanilide which could then be readily brominated to form a mono-brominated product‚ with the bromine positioned at either the ortho‚ meta or para position on the aromatic ring. Acetic anhydride is very reactive towards nucleophiles and this reactivity is the result of the difference in electronegativities of the carbon and oxygen atoms that are bonded in acetic anhydride. This difference in electronegativities causes one

the procedure outlined in Appendix A of the Lab Manual‚ approximately equal samples of p-Nitrophenol and acetanilide‚ which are known to have the same melting range of 113-114 degrees Celcius‚ were taken and inserted into the melting point apparatus. The melting points of the compounds were noted and found to be very similar. Next‚ approximately equal amounts of p-Nitrophenol and acetanilide were mixed on a clean watch glass. A sample of the mixture was placed in the Mel-temp apparatus as before

Compounds by Solvent Extraction Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to use solvent extraction techniques in order to separate a mixture consisting of a carboxylic acid (p-toulic acid)‚ a phenol (p-tert-butylphenol)‚ and a neutral compound (acetanilide). Extraction is the process of selectively dissolving one or more of the compounds of a mixture into an appropriate solvent‚ the solution that contains these dissolved compounds is called an extract (Manion‚ 2004). Impurities that are present

Experiment 3 Objectives Separation by Solvent Extraction To separate a mixture consisting of a carboxylic acid and a neutral compound by using solvent extraction techniques. Introduction Frequently‚ organic chemists must separate an organic compound from a mixture of compounds‚ often derived from natural sources or products of synthetic reactions. One technique used to separate the mixture compounds is called extraction. Extraction is a process

(2‚4‚6 tribromoaniline‚ mp of 108-110 C) respectively. Discussion and Conclusions: Interpreting these results have concluded that relative reactivity of these three anilines in order of most reactive to least reactive go; Aniline > Anisole > Acetanilide. Aniline‚ has an NH2 ‚ the most active substituent ‚ and adds to any ortho/para position available on the ring. This data is confirmed with the product obtained‚ (2‚4‚6 tribromoaniline‚ mp of 108-110 C). As for anisole‚ it has a strongly activating
