Nitration and Purification of Bromobenzene Abstract: An electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction was performed on bromobenzene with nitric acid producing both 2-bromonitrobenzene and 4-bromonitrobenzene. Products of the reaction were purified through multiple recrystallizations and column chromatography creating multiple crops of a yellow powder. The percent yield of products was determined to be 51%. The melting point of Crop 1 was found to be 110-115 °C‚ and Crop 2 was found to be 37-90

This lab will help guide you in the direction to predict the regioselectivity and activation vs. deactivating powers of the nitro-group. Gas Chromatography will be used to analyze compounds that can be vaporized without being decomposed. GC is also used to check the purity of a substance‚ and separating the

During the initiation and formation of the Grignard crushed magnesium was placed in a round bottomed flask with an iodine crystal with a bromobenzene solution with a stir bar. Once the stirring began‚ the solution turned brown and over time began to lighten up. The color change to brown indicated that the reaction began and this is why an iodine crystal was placed in the solution. The reaction started to boil due to its own reflux so heat didn’t need to be applied. Next the anhydrous ether solution

Section: 20711 Lab Experiment: Nitration of Bromobenzene Introduction: The chemical reaction of nitration consists of a nitro group being added to or substituted in a molecule. Nitration can basically be carried out by a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid; this mixture is useful to obtain the active nitronium ion. Electrophilic aromatic substitution is a method used when a functional group is needed to be substituted on to an aromatic compound. In the nitration‚ nitronium ion

H2SO4 were combined to form a nitrating solution‚ which was mixed with a mixture of methyl benzoate and H2SO4. Percent yield for the final product was calculated followed by recrystallization and melting point was measured. Introduction: Nitration of Methyl Benzoate is one of the examples of Electrophilic aromatic substitutions. The use of a mixture of Sulfuric Acid and Nitric Acid is the classic way to make NO2+. The two main reaction types used for this are both substitutions: Electrophilic
