product was isolated by suction filtration using a small Buchner funnel.  Figure3: Labeled vacuum filtration  Figure 4: Carefully scraping out the crystals A small amount of sample was saved and weighed. Results:  Figure 5: NMR of the product  Discussion/Conclusion: The melting point of the recrystallized product was 73-78 degrees Celsius. This was very accurate to that of the book. In this experiment‚ methyl benzoate went through an electrophilic substitution

Exp’t 84 Synthesis of Methyl Benzoate by Fisher Esterification from K. L. Williamson‚ Macroscale and Microscale Organic Experiments‚ 2nd Ed. 1994‚ Houghton Mifflin‚ Boston p385 Revised 10/15/03 Prelab Exercise: Give the detailed mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl benzoate. Introduction: The ester group is an important functional group that can be synthesized in a number of different ways. The low-molecular-weight esters have very pleasant odors and indeed are the major components

the product is a solid‚ you should give a melting point and compare it to the known melting point and then give a percent error. You should also comment on the physical appearance of the product. You should include information obtained from IR‚ GC or NMR. (refer to example in syllabus) d) Next you should draw a conclusion based on your data. You should never say the unknown was…. You should say‚ the data suggests or based on the data it was concluded that… If you don’t know with 100 percent certainty

headaches but could suffocate you. If in liquid form helium can give you frostbite when in contact with skin. Life without the element- Without helium we wouldn’t be able to know the types of injuries we have today. Because helium is used in MRI and NMR it shows that without helium we wouldn’t be able to tell what a torn ligament is to a broken bone. We would then treat people different and no one would be healed properly. Also the fun party balloons that we have would no longer float but would just

Nitration of Acetanilide Introduction When organic compounds are nitrated it changes the composition and reaction of the compounds.[4] We could benefit from these changes‚ nitration of acetanilide produces a product called p- Nirtoanoline. P-Nitroaniline is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes‚ antioxidants‚ pharmaceuticals and gasoline. P-Nitroaniline is also used in gum inhibitors‚ poultry medicines and as a corrosion inhibitor. [2] Nitration is a type of chemical

Although investigating a new pathway to form a compound is challenging and time-consuming‚ the reward of observing correct NMR peaks is phenomenal and ecstatic. For instance‚ I was trying to add few functional groups on tropone. This should be relatively simple‚ and the procedure indicated that I should be able to make this compound with high yield and purity. However‚ TLC and NMR indicated that my product had a significant amount of impurity. I

Abstract In this experiment‚ 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-3‚4-dihydropyrimidine-2-one is synthesized in a solvent-free reaction‚ where urea‚ ethyl acetoacetate‚ 4-chlorobenzaldehyde are used as the reactants and p-toluenesulfonic acid is used as the catalyst. This reaction is similar to the original synthesis of DHPM by Pietro Bignelli‚ as it incorporates a single step. Due to its environmentally friendly conditions‚ such as the use of solar energy as a heat source and the lack of solvent‚ this synthesis of

Sucrose is a disaccharide formed from D-glucose and D-fructose. The glycosidic linkage is between C1 of glucose and the C2 of fructose. 1H NMR of Sucrose: Mass Spectrum of Sucrose: 13C NMR spectra of sucrose: 3. Why is it difficult to isolate sugars? For simple sugars‚ they are small molecules and they behave similar properties that make them hard to separate. Besides‚ sugars are most electrically neutral. The separation of electrically neutral sugars is a relatively difficult and

Procedure 2.0 g of Mo(CO)6 and 10 mL of mesitylene were added into a 50-mL round bottom flask along with a small magnetic stir bar. A 30-cm reflux condenser was attached to the round bottom flask and a gas inlet was then connected to the condenser and to the bubbler. Since Mo(CO)6 and the product tends to react with oxygen at high temperatures this reaction must take place in an inert atmosphere. Therefore‚ the gas inlet was connected at the top of the condenser to a nitrogen source and was flushed
