2012 Abstract: Nitration of 2-benzylpyridine is supposed to yield 2-(2‚4-Dinitrobenzyl) pyridine‚ when electrophilic aromatic substitution is the mechanism. Experiencing many pitfalls‚ however‚ has lead to the actual product obtained to contain the expected product‚ as well as many impurities. This report examines the supposed mechanism for the electrophilic substitution‚ a mechanism for the product’s photochromic property‚ as well as an explanation as to why the mechanism happens in this particular

techniques to make an impure sample pure is by recrystallization. This experiment includes the determination of a good solvent for recrystallization for compounds such as: acetanilide‚ acetamide‚ aspirin‚ benzoic acid‚ naphthalene‚ and sucrose‚ for solvents such as: water‚ ethanol‚ benzene‚ and ethyl acetate. Also pure acetanilide is achieved. here are five major steps in the recrystallization process: dissolving the solute in the solvent‚ performing a gravity filtration‚ if necessary‚ obtaining crystals

Chung (Vincent) Lab Partner: Ma‚ Siyin Date: 2/3/2013 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the composition of compounds in Panacetin. Generally‚ it is made up of sucrose‚ aspirin and an unknown component‚ either acetanilide or phenacetin. SinceBy using different techniques‚ such as filtration‚ extraction‚ and evaporation‚ those three components have been isolated out‚ which is based on varies solubility and acid-based properties. The percentage of composition of Panacetin

may be counterfeit‚ not containing the chemicals that it should. Panacetin should be made up of about 50 percent of the unknown component that we previously separated out of Panacetin for testing. We suspect that this unknown compound is either acetanilide or phenacetin‚ both of which can be toxic to humans. It is very important that this component is identified so that no one unknowingly takes the “Panacetin” and becomes ill or dies. This whole experiment is based on purifying and then finding

major types. Hydrocarbons react differently in reagents. The basis of determining an unknown hydrocarbon is due to the differences in reactions of hydrocarbons. An unknown compound is determined using tests. The unknown gives a positive result in nitration test and gives no brown precipitate in oxidation test. The unknown is an aromatic and non-alkylated compound. _______________________________________________ Introduction: Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that composed of only hydrogen and

a proposed type of pain-killer. Panacetin is typically made up of sucrose‚ aspirin‚ and acetaminophen‚ but the third component in this experiment is unknown. The unknown component is suspected to be a chemical relative of acetaminophen‚ either acetanilide or phenacetin. Using techniques such as extraction‚ evaporation‚ and filtration‚ the three components will be isolated based on their solubilities and acid-base properties. The percent composition of Panacetin will also be deduced based on the masses

to be present in your sample of Panacetin (aspirin‚ acetanilide‚ and starch)‚ only starch is insoluble in the organic solvent dichloromethane (or methylene chloride)‚ CH2 Cl2. If a sample of Panacetin is dissolved as completely as possible in dichloromethane‚ the insoluble starch can be filtered out‚ leaving acetanilide and aspirin in solution. The purpose of this experiment is to extract the components of Panacetin. Although the acetanilide and aspirin are both quite insoluble in water at room

last part of the experiment I observed the melting point of Unknown E. After finding the melting point of Unknown E‚ I used 2-Chloroacetemide with a known melting point between 116-118 degrees Celsius and mixed it with Unknown E. I also took Acetanilide with a known melting point of 114.4 degrees Celsius and mixed it with Unknown E. I then observed these melting points to try and determine the identity of Unknown E. Results: Our first known was 100 % Biphenyl. We did three trials. The following
