Introduction The purpose of this lab is to synthesize Lidocaine from 2‚6-dimethylaniline‚ using diethyl amine‚ 2-chloroacetyl chloride‚ acetic acid‚ and toluene. The Lidocaine was made by adding 2‚6-dimethylaniline to 2-chloroacetyl chloride in acetic acid. Sodium acetate is added in order to make the compound soluble. The product is dried‚ then treated with diethyl amine and toluene. This is refluxed using a water-cooled reflux condenser. The vapor is condensed by the cold water as the compound

Loggerheads also modify habitats as a result of their foraging activities. The fragments of hard-shelled organisms that loggerheads consume are either discarded or ingested and later deposited with feces at a different location. By reducing the particle size of the shells‚ loggerhead turtles contribute to nutrient recycling in benthic ecosystems by increasing the rate of shell disintegration. Additionally‚ a foraging behavior called infaunal mining has a significant effect on substrate characteristics
