by Georg Wittig in 1954‚ the Wittig reaction is a robust organic synthesis method for preparing stereospecific alkenes. In general‚ Wittig reactions involve an aldehyde or ketone and a Wittig reagent (triphenylphosphonium ylide) and result in the formation of an alkene product and triphenylphosphine oxide (side product). Stereospecific alkene products can be synthesized by adjusting the reaction reagents and conditions. In the 60 years since the Wittig reaction was discovered‚ many articles have

Chemical reactions are a part of everyday lives. Whether it is the burning of propane at a kitchen stove‚ or washing detergent reacting with dirt stains‚ chemical reactions are useful tools that have widespread applications. With so many reactions assisting our everyday activities‚ it is important that ways to optimise reaction rates are investigated. “Reaction rate‚ the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds… may be defined in terms of the amounts of the reactants consumed or products formed

The Grignard Reaction Abstract Through the use of the Grignard reaction‚ a carbon-carbon bond was formed‚ thereby resulting in the formation of triphenylmethanol from phenyl magnesium bromide and benzophenone. A recrystallization was performed to purify the Grignard product by dissolving the product in methanol. From here‚ a melting point range of 147.0 °C to 150.8 °C was obtained. The purified product yielded an IR spectrum with major peaks of 3471.82 cm-1‚ 3060.90 cm-1‚ 1597.38 cm-1‚ and 1489

The environmental factors that effected the rate of enzyme reactions were the enzyme concentration‚ pH‚ and temperature. These environmental factors help enzymes break down the poisonous chemicals into harmless substance. When we tested the liver with 2ml of hydrogen peroxide for a normal reaction it showed that it was exothermic. We added more hydrogen peroxide and the reaction rate of the liver was 3. We learned that the catalase is reusable because the liver reacted both times when we put in

Lab Techniques & Measurements Pre Lab Questions: (4pts) 1. What will you learn after completing the lab? -The experiment will introduce different level of precision and measuring to the appropriate decimal place and will be familiar with measurements and weight. 2. Write the symbols and equation used to make a dilute solution from concentrated or stock solution. - The concentration of substance is described as molarity and this can be expressed as – Molarity

From the results recorded it was identified that activity A and C had exothermic reactions‚ whilst activity B had an endothermic reaction. Each of the activities had initially begun with 23.4/8/9oC‚ however‚ within one minute of adding the 2nd reactants‚ the results began showing‚ as seen from the graph. Activity A and C had risen in temperature‚ with A gaining 4oC and in total of 2 minutes having the temperature of 27.9oC along with C increasing by 2.2oC and within 2 minutes of the experiment having

Measuring Human Reaction Time Name: Prerna Mohan Date: November 3‚ 2017 Team members: Allison Fitzgerald‚ Isabella Federico 1. Objectives The objective of this lab is to measure each individual’s reaction time using a ruler. 2. Method and Equation: We will apply free fall kinematics to find our own reaction time. An object in free fall is an object in motion where gravity is the sole force acting upon it. If we drop an object from a certain distance‚ the object will experience constant

Introduction DNA‚ or deoxyribonucleic acid‚ is a double stranded helical structure used to store genetic information in cellular organisms. DNA usually consists of two strands made up of nucleotides‚ each with a backbone of repeating units of phosphate groups and the sugar‚ deoxyribose‚ bonded by phosphodiester linkages. Since the deoxyribose has a specific orientation‚ DNA molecules have directionality so that DNA sequences are read 5’ to 3’. The 5’ end of DNA is characterized by the deoxyribose

Purpose Determine which kinds of reactions involve electron transfer as the driving force. Background Redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed. So‚ when a metal and a nonmetal react‚ there is an ionic bond formed‚ which means one of them loses electrons while the other gains them. Since this reaction involves the exchange of electrons it is termed as a redox reaction. The oxidation states in a metal- nonmetal are simple

A. Introduction Title: The effect of reading Shakespeare on reaction time Research Question: Does reading a passage of Shakespeare decrease a person’s reaction time while completing a puzzle? One day in class‚ I was reading an interesting article about how people who read and are exposed to Shakespeare and Wordsworth and other renowned writers have better brain activity‚ attention spans‚ and can have more moments of beneficial self-reflection. In the article‚ scientists and psychologists at Liverpool
