group. The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction nitration is used to nitrate methyl benzoate and acetanilide with a nitronium ion. Crystallization was used to purify the product. The melting point was used to determine its purity and the regiochemistry of the products. The methyl benzoate reaction product‚ methyl nitrobenzoate‚ was determined to be meta-substituted and the acetanilide reaction product‚ nitroacetanilide‚ was determined to be para-substituted.

13‚ 2015 Answers to Questions: 1.) Arrangement of Reactivity: (fastest to slowest) - Phenol‚ Nitrophenol‚ Acetanilide‚ Benzene‚ Chlorobenzene‚ Aniline - A reaction has occurred if there’s a change in color. The nature of the substituent‚ whether electron-donating to the ring or electron-withdrawing from the ring‚ was responsible for the reactivity of the benzene. Aniline and acetanilide contain amine groups‚ which are electron-donating. Chlorobenzene contains chlorine‚ which is electron-withdrawing

aromatic benzene ring. The substituents being tested are aniline‚ anisole‚ acetamide (acetanilide)‚ and phenol. All four of these groups are either para or ortho activating. Bromination is the reaction that will be carried out. The melting point ranges of the final products will be taken in order to determine their identities and reactivity. It is predicted that substitution order from most to least reactive should be aniline‚ phenol‚ anisole‚ and acetamide. Theory: Regioselectivity and the rate

In this experiment‚ acetanilide‚ the crude product of acetylation of aniline and acetic anhydride‚ was used as the pure organic compound. Crude acetanilide underwent crystallization process using the preferred recrystallizing solvent‚ water. The crystallization process was when crude acetanilide was placed in hot water bath and was cooled after in an ice bath which would then yield to the formation of crystals of pure acetanilide. The percentage yield form the crude acetanilide was 94.59%. The percentage

Title: Acetanilide Synthesis Objective: To synthesize Acetanilide by recrystallization. To check its purity by calculating its percent yield. Introduction: Aniline is a primary aromatic amine and weak base which forms salts with mineral acids. In acidic solution‚ nitrous acid converts aniline into a diazonium salt that is an intermediate in the preparation of a great number of dyes and other organic compounds of commercial interest. When aniline is heated

Recrystallization Abstract: Technical grade aniline was reacted with acetic anhydride to give acetanilide a dark brown color‚ due to the presence of impurities. Crystallization of the crude product from water was combined with decolorization with activated carbon‚ furnished pure acetanilide as white flakes‚ melting point 112-115°C‚ yield 70.3%. Experimental: 2 grams of technical grade aniline and 15ml water were placed in a 125ml Erlenmeyer flask. Then‚ 2.5ml of acetic anhydride was
