took my first chemistry class I became mesmerized with the field of chemistry. The idea that I could start with one molecule and change it into a completely different compound both fascinated and thrilled me. I was at a predicament‚ on one hand I wanted to study medicine to help people‚ but I was far more interested in and passionate about the chemical processes and reactions. This changed when I took my first organic chemistry class. I want to make a career by applying chemistry to medicine and

How It Is Synthesized Methamphetamine was first synthesized from ephedrine in Japan in 1893 by chemist Nagai Nagayoshi. In 1919‚ crystallized methamphetamine was synthesized by Akira Ogata via reduction of ephedrine using red phosphorus and iodine. Synthesis is relatively simple‚ but entails risk with flammable and corrosive chemicals‚ particularly the solvents used in extraction and purification; therefore‚ illicit production is often discovered by fires and explosions caused by the improper

Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions of Alkyl Halides 1. Summary of Experiment In this experiment we will be comparing the both SN1 and SN2 reactions using various compounds and sodium iodide and silver nitrate. We will be comparing the nature of the leaving group (Cl vs Br) in the 1-halobutanes as well as the effect of the structure

Part 1. Hydrocarbon Nomenclature From International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) General Form of IUPAC Nomenclature [branching substituent(s)] Root [Suffix] Rules: 1. Identify the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms. This chain determines the parent name (root) of the alkane. The parent suffix for alkanes is‚ not surprisingly‚ -ane. For chains of equal length‚ pick the one with the most substituents. (Note: I number all possibilities going from left to right

Experiment 6 titled “Organic Chemistry” and the purpose of this lab is to get familiar with some organic functional group and test certain reactions of selected functional groups. To do the first part of the experiment (combustion test)‚ instructor demonstration in hood‚ and record the observation. Part A (combustion of toluene) pour 1 milliliter of toluene into a evaporating dish and ignite it with a flaming wood splint. Most importantly put the flame with a watchglass.

Organic Chemistry II Laboratory (ABCT357) Although studying fundamental theories of chemistry in the class is important to understand the concept of chemistry‚ carrying out experiments to corroborate the theories is also important. It is very important for students to get used to experiments in order to speed up their experiments. Expt.1. Acetylation of α-D-glucopyranose Add slowly 2.5 g (0.014 mol) of powdered D-glucose in small portions (roughly in 7-10 portions and 5 min for each addition)

depending on the number of alkyl substituents directly attached to the carbon attached to the halogen atom. The purpose of this lab was to properly prepare t-butyl chloride from t-butyl-alcohol in a concentrated hydrochloric acid. The reaction occurs through a nucleophilic substitution‚ which is when a nucleophile replaces the leaving group in the substrate. In this lab‚ the hydroxyl group of t-butyl alcohol is replaced by a chlorine atom. The reaction proceeds through an SN1 mechanism (Weldegirma

Let’s say that we did this experiment‚ used 1.00 g 1‚4-dichlorobenzene in 10.00 g naphthalene‚ and found that the freezing temperature of pure naphthalene was 78.2°C‚ while that of the solution was 75
