Laboratory II ABSTRACT: The purpose of this lab was to separate and purify two unknown compounds‚ one solid and one liquid‚ from an ethereal solution using the techniques of chemically active extraction‚ vacuum filtration‚ simple distillation‚ and recrystallization. Then identifying information was compiled about these unknowns by obtaining experimental melting/boiling point ranges‚ and analyzing IR and proton/carbon NMR spectrums It was determined that the unknown solid’s identity was m-nitrobenzoic acid

aqueous solution of thiamine hydrochloride and creating a reaction with pure benzaldehyde. When you heat this mixture to a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius for about 90 minutes and then cool it in an ice bath‚ the benzoin crystallizes out. Recrystallization of these crystals from hot ethanol yields pure benzoin as a colorless powder.

acetophenone using p-anisaldehyde and sodium hydroxide as a base. This produced trans-p-anisalacetophenone in the form of a fluffy yellow crystal. The reaction was performed in a test tube and sodium hydroxide was added drop by drop followed by recrystallization and vacuum filtration. In order to verify the presence of the ketone 2‚4-dinitrophenylhydrazone was synthesized and reacted with trans-p-anisalacetophenone resulting in a red color change indicating the presence of the ketone. The percent yield

contained impurities as the melting point was lower than expected and had a wide melting range. Possible impurities could have been water due to inadequate drying or unreacted benzoin. Consequently‚ the crude benzil was purified by recrystallization. This recrystallization produced soft crystal lumps that were small and a very pale yellow. The theoretical mass of 301 mg and an experimental mass of 161 mg created a percent yield of 53.49%. Benzil could have been lost due to error‚ which would explain

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to identify one ketone with Thin Layer Chromatography and one using NMR spectrometry. We will do this by making 2‚ 4 a DNPH derivative and checking the melting points. Theory: By Using specific methods of compounds detection‚ we can match an unknown compound with a known compound because similar compounds will display similar characteristics. In this experiment‚ identifications of the unknown ketone was accomplished using thin layer chromatography

Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to prepare the Grignard reagent methylmagnesium iodide and react it with benzoin to form the 3o alcohol 1‚2-diphenyl-1‚2-propanediol‚ through an addition reaction pathway. Introduction: Grignard reagents are alkyl or aryl-magnesium halides that act as the nucleophile in Grignard reactions‚ where ketones are reacted with the reagent‚ then treated with acid to produce an alcohol. In the case of this experiment‚ methylmagnesium iodide was created

Title: Esterification Objective: To synthesis acetylsalicylic acid by esterification. Introduction: A pleasant‚ often fruity‚ odor is characteristic of some of the simpler esters. Ethyl butyrate smells similar to pineapples‚ the odor of n-propyl acetate is reminiscent of pears and isopentyl acetate has a strong banana fragrance. Esters are derivatives of the carboxylic acids and contain the following functional group: The synthesis of an ester can be accomplished in one of several ways. An esterification

Anthony Young Partner: Nick Dale TA: Alehkya 6/8/15 Isolation of Trimyristin from Nutmeg and Preparation of Myristic Acid from Trimyristin by Hydrolysis. Introduction In this experiment‚ trimyristin will be isolated from the nutmeg by extraction‚ and then used to prepare myristic acid by hydrolysis. The isolation of a substance from a natural product is a common technique used nowadays. Usually‚ the isolation is a complex procedure and requires a lot of steps and preparation. For this experiment
