Anilines were tested with Br2/HBr solution‚ the products were crystallized and melting points attained to verify relative reactivity. My assignment‚ 2‚4-Dibromoanisol‚ was prepared in a yield of 52% with a melting point of 55-58 C . Reaction: Mechanism: Procedure: Anisole (0.35mL‚ 0.0378mol) was obtained and placed in a pre-weighed 25 mL round bottom flask‚ along with 2.5 mL of glacial acetic acid and a magnetic stir bar. Then the reaction apparatus was assembled‚ the dry tube was charged

Synthesis of Bromoactanile: add correct amounts of acetanilide‚ sodium bromide‚ ethanol and acetic acid in an Erlenmeyer. Add a stir bar and plug the top with cotton. Place the flask in ice bath to cool. Add 7ml bleach and continue to stir for a while. Remove flask from ice bath and warm to room temperature

In this experiment‚ acetanilide‚ the crude product of acetylation of aniline and acetic anhydride‚ was used as the pure organic compound. Crude acetanilide underwent crystallization process using the preferred recrystallizing solvent‚ water. The crystallization process was when crude acetanilide was placed in hot water bath and was cooled after in an ice bath which would then yield to the formation of crystals of pure acetanilide. The percentage yield form the crude acetanilide was 94.59%. The percentage

RECRYSTALLIZATION OF ACETANILIDE ABSTRACT Recrystallization is the primary method for purifying solid organic compounds through the differences in solubility at different temperatures. In this experiment‚ a suitable solvent was first determined. Acetanilide was produced by acetylation of aniline with acetic anhydride. The crude acetanilide was dissolved in a solvent in a heating water bath. The hot solution was filtered and the filtrate‚ cooled slowly in an ice bath as crystals started forming

The unknown in this experiment is presumed to be something similar to acetaminophen‚ such as acetanilide or phenacetin. Recrystallization and melting point temperature were used to help identify the unknown in Panacetin. Recrystallization removes impurities as a substance goes through physical transformations from a solid to a liquid and back to
