Grignard Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol from Benzophenone Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize the tertiary alcohol triphenylmethanol from a Grignard reagent‚ phenyl magnesium bromide. The Grignard reagent was synthesized from bromobenzene and magnesium and then reacted with benzophenone to produce triphenylmethanol. It was important that water be excluded from the reaction‚ in order to prevent the formation of benzene. The reaction of phenyl magnesium bromide and benzophenone

(NH4Cl) and ammonia (NH3). Through iodometric and spectrophotometric analysis‚ the percent cobalt was then found in the samples of pentaaminechloridocobalt. When looking at the iodometric analysis‚ there was a mean amount of 26.29% cobalt with an average deviation of ± 1.00%. When looking at the spectrophotometric analysis‚ there was a mean amount of 15.30% cobalt with an average deviation of ± 2.00%. With a theoretical yield of 23.50%‚ the iodometric analysis proved to be more accurate than the spectrophotometric

ABSTRACT: The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction is the attack of a benzene ring on an electrophilic species resulting in the substitution of a proton with a functional group. The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction nitration is used to nitrate methyl benzoate and acetanilide with a nitronium ion. Crystallization was used to purify the product. The melting point was used to determine its purity and the regiochemistry of the products. The methyl benzoate reaction product‚ methyl

Dehydrating Cyclohexanol • Introduction The purpose of the lab experiment is to prepare cyclohexene from cyclohexanol through an acid-catalyzed dehydration. In order to produce the cyclohexene from cyclohexanol‚ an elimination reaction was performed. First by protonating the oxygen of the alcohol and creating an oxonium ion we replaced the poor leaving group (OH) into a better leaving group (OH2+). Second‚ dehydrating the cyclohexanol using phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid as acid catalysts

methyl m- nitrobenzoate product was also acquired. The limiting reagent for this electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction is methyl benzoate. It yields the least amount of methyl nitrobenzoate in this reaction‚ and therefore is the limiting reagent. The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction between methyl benzoate and a nitrating solution of sulfuric and nitric acids was successful and yielded methyl m-nitrobenzoate. The percent yield of the recrystallized product was 93%. The observed melting

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to derive Isopentyl acetate (banana oil) from the reaction of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid in a process called Fischer esterification (Fischer-Speier esterification). The name‚ banana oil‚ is due to banana odour released by formation of Isopentyl acetate. The alcohol and the carboxylic acid used in this experiment are Isopentyl alcohol and Glacial Acetic Acid. Both the overall reaction of Fischer esterification and the specific Fischer esterification
