some substrates took part in only one mechanism such as 2-chlorobutane whereas others took part in both mechanisms such as benzyl chloride. During the experiment it was noted that all the substrates besides 2-chlorobutane‚ t-butylchloride‚ and Bromobenzene underwent both SN1 and SN2 mechanisms. Our results varied from the predicted outcomes as many of our substrates took on both SN1 and SN2 mechanisms. One possible source of error would be due to the fact that even after vigorously cleaning test

Grignard Reaction: Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Dominic DiRaimo Lab Partners: Roxana Hernandez Somata Thach TA: Sreya Mukherjee December 5‚ 2013 Introduction Grignard reagents are good nucleophiles as well as strong bases (Weldegirma). It allows compounds to react with acidic compounds‚ therefor is must be free from acids as well as water during the desired reaction. Another important aspect of Grignard reagent is that refluxing is necessary to

You can tamp them down using a glass stirring rod. Don’t use metal. Allow the nitration reaction to proceed for about 15 minutes (Schönbein’s time was 2 minutes)‚ then run cold tap water into the beaker to dilute the acid. Allow the water to run for a while. Turn off the water and add a bit of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to the

Mechanism for coupling reactions In this experiment‚ a Grignard reagent was prepared and reacted with benzophenone to synthesize triphenylmethanol‚ a tertiary alcohol (Figure 4). The Grignard reagent was prepared with dry magnesium turnings‚ bromobenzene and anhydrous ether. To isolate the alcohol‚ dilute acid was used to convert the magnesium salt to free alcohol and the mixture was washed with water and sodium chloride to remove remaining magnesium salt and water. Anhydrous sodium sulfate was

Introduction For the last week‚ specific tests had to be applied to determine the unknown solid that was given out randomly. Physical tests‚ solubility test‚ characteristic tests‚ NMR spectrums‚ and IR spectrums were all utilized to distinguish the identity of the solid. These assessments and a couple additional tests will be utilized again to determine the unknown liquid that was given to us in class. The other characteristics that will be looked at will be the boiling point‚ refracted index‚ and

The Grignard Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Organic Chemistry Lab II March 19‚ 2012 Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize the Grignard reagent‚ phenyl magnesium bromide‚ and then use the manufactured Grignard reagent to synthesize the alcohol‚ triphenylmethanol‚ by reacting with benzophenone and protonation by H3O+. The triphenylmethanol was purified by recrystallization. The melting point‚ Infrared Spectroscopy‚ 13C NMR‚ and 1H NMR were used to characterize and confirm
