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

NITRATION OF METHYL BENZOATE Purpose: The main objective of this experiment was to synthesize methyl nitrobenzoate from methyl benzoate‚ using the mixture of nitric and sulfuric acid by performing the process of electrophillic aromatic substitution. During this reaction‚ the combination of HNO3 and H2SO4 made a nitrating solution. The crystallization was done to accomplish pure product. The melting point and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) were performed to test the purity of the product. Using

4: Melting Point lab Partner: Instructor: The Testing of the Melting Points of p-dichlorobenzene and naphthalene Introduction: Melting point temperature is a physical property of pure substances. It is an intensive property‚ which means the amount of material tested is irrelevant. This lab will determine the melting point temperatures of two known pure substances‚ naphthalene and p-dichlorobenzene‚ using micro-sized quantities and a capillary melting tube apparatus. The percent error will
