Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to prepare phenylmagnesium bromide‚ a Grignard reagent‚ and react it with benzophenone to give triphenylmethanol. Once made‚ the Grignard reagent will do a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon of the ketone‚ benzophenone. The result is an alkoxide that is then protonated to give the alcohol‚ triphenylmethanol. The purity of the final product will then be considered by melting point and IR spectroscopy. Final purified triphenylmethanol weighed 8.02 grams

SYNTHESIS OF ESTERS USING GREEN AND NON-GREEN CHEMISTRY Abstract Esters are a class of organic compounds with the general formula RCOOR’. Ester also contributes the flavor and aromas in fruits and flowers. The esterification reactions will use in the procedure‚ which are the interaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol‚ aided by an inorganic acid catalyst (H2SO4). Moreover‚ the green method will not use any catalyst but using heating source instead (microwave). Based on the comparison of

The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize isopentyl ester by an esterification reaction between a carboxylic acid and an ester. Carboxylic esters‚ like isopentyl acetate‚ are normally used to create artificial flavors. In the preparation of isopentyl acetate‚ esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol occurs. Esterification is an equilibrium shift to the product side using an excess of one of the starting components. In this experiment‚ the excess reagent is acetic acid because it

Peter Mehnert Rhet 105 Ms. Paterson 11/14/12 Extended Synthesis: Cigarette Smoking Tobacco has played an important role in America from the beginning. It was grown as a cash crop by the Jamestown settlers in 1612‚ but over the years the popular opinion has changed about tobacco. Tobacco is used to make cigarettes‚ which have been extremely popular‚ now known to be extremely dangerous. Even the warnings on the cigarette box have changed to a statement much more alarming. In the 1960s‚ the warning

Synthesis of Information In summary‚ the articles researched were divided into four main categories. The categories all focused on something different. The categories were; the perception kids have on food‚ communities raising healthy kids‚ nutritional awareness and the school context. The first two articles had the common theme of how children view food and to find what children thought and felt about healthy food. The third article was aimed towards parents. The theme of this article was how

Chris Goodman Essay Assignment #2: Explanatory Synthesis Explanatory Synthesis of Childhood Obesity Childhood obesity is a major problem in the United States. There are multiple reasons for this problem including the child’s school system‚ the access to technology in young children and the child’s genes. It is sometimes inevitable for a child to be obese due to their genes. There are some precautions being made to help this problem. Some might work but others might fail. Childhood obesity

It is an over-the-counter drug that relieves pain and reduced fevers. Acetaminophen is considered an alternate to aspirin since it does not irritate the stomach (Richman‚ 2004). It also has very

Lab Report Synthesis and Characterization of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) The Synthesis and Characterization of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid). Summary: In this experiment‚ we produced 4.21 g of acetylsalicylic acid. Our theoretical yield was calculated to be 5.22 g. Therefore our % yield was determined to be 80.6%. The experimental boiling point range of acetylsalicylic acid was found to be 130-132° C. The true melting point of acetylsalicylic acid is 135° C‚ therefore our percent
