In the 5th century B.C.‚ Hippocrates ground the bark into a powder‚ and later‚ the Natives Americans chewed on the bark to alleviate fever and pain1. In the 19th century‚ a German chemist by the name of Felix Hoffman wanted to find a medication that would ease

He does not give milk‚ he does not lay eggs‚ he is too weak to pull the plough‚ he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.” George Orwell. And now today animals are being used to produce a variety of products varying from medicine‚ cosmetics‚ and even military weapons through animal testing. One can argue we

Abstract Introduction The acylation of the α carbon position of a carbonyl group is one of the greatest breakthroughs that has benefited chemists in organic synthesis particularly when in need of building a carbon skeleton of interest in a molecule. For one to be able perform this acylation technique‚ there are two mar approaches which are employable. The first method involves the deprotonation of the α-Carbon atom which has a pKa known to be ̴20 through the use of a strong base for instance

Purpose: To synthesize 1‚2‚3‚4-tetraphenylnaphthalene through a two-step synthesis. The aldol condensation reaction between benzil and dibenzyl ketone forms 2‚3‚4‚5-tetraphenylcyclopentadienone‚ which then reacts with a benzene formed by anthranilic acid and isoamyl nitrate in order to yield 1‚2‚3‚4-tetraphenylnaphthalene. Reaction Equation A: Synthesis of 2‚3‚4‚5-tetraphenylcyclopentadienone: A solution of 4 capsules potassium hydroxide (0.5g) and 5mL anhydrous ethanol was prepared

of MPTP dramatically accelerates this process in the course of days and not years (Hanson et al.‚ 2015). Additionally consumption results in a reduction of glutathione content (Sian et al.‚ 1999). What have been good and bad consequences of the synthesis of MPTP? MPTP negatively affects the body by penetrating the blood-brain barrier and entering the brain cells. MPTP is not toxic‚ however when it oxidizes it forms MPP+ which is toxic. Toxic oxidation later reaches the extracellular fluid and

Synthesis of Acetanilide By: Rick Whitely April 9‚ 2013 Organic Chemistry Lab 1; Professor J. Hutchison Recrystallization is a common method of purifying organic substances through the differences in solubility at different temperature. In this experiment‚ acetanilide was produced by acetylation of aniline with acetic anhydride. The crude acetanilide was dissolved in a solvent in a heated water bath. The solution was cooled slowly in an ice bath as crystals form out. As the compound crystallizes

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
