The alkylation of 1‚4-dimethoxybenzene is very favorable because of the presence of two methoxy groups. The groups act as activators to electrophilic aromatic substitution because of their ability to donate electrons through resonance. This enhanced activation helps favor the initial substitution. After this‚ the ring has two methoxy groups and an alkyl group attached to it. The addition of the alkyl group further activate the ring for another electrophilic aromatic substitution. The addition of

Introduction Friedel-Crafts acylation of anisole with acetic anhydride was used in this experiement to synthesize 4-methoxyacetophenone with the use of a reflux apparatus. Friedel-Crafts reactions can be done by alkylation‚ which involves mixing an alkyl or acyl halide with a Lewis acid‚ or acylation‚ which is done with acid chlorides or anhydrides(Lefevre). Acylation was used because it does not have as many disadvantages aklyations reactions have such as polyalkylation‚ second electrophilic attacks

substituents to aromatic rings. In the organic synthesis laboratory‚ electrophilic aromatic substitutions which result in the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds are called ‘Friedel-Crafts’ alkylations and acylations‚ named for Charles Friedel of France and James Crafts of the United States‚ who together developed the procedures in 1877. The Friedel-Crafts reactions are an important part of a synthetic chemist’s toolbox to this day. Friedel Crafts reactions‚ like their biochemical counterparts

Abstract A Friedel-Crafts alkylation was performed by adding t-butyl alcohol to p-dimethoxybenzene in order to produce 1‚4-di-t-butyl-2‚5-dimethoxybenzene. This reaction yielded 0.009g of 1‚4-di-t-butyl-2‚5-dimethoxybenzene having a percent yield of 5%‚ and a melting point range of 54.8°C-56.9°C. Introduction This reaction is designed to put functional groups onto aromatic rings. This is done through an electrophilic aromatic substitution where a positive species is strong enough to pull electrons

Friedel Crafts Alkylation Reaction Introduction: In the experiment we will create 1‚4-Di-t-Butyl-2‚5-Dimethoxybenzene by performing a Friedel-Crafts reaction on 1‚4-Dimethoxybenzene. In the reaction a t-butyl carbocation will be added on to the 1‚4-Dimethoxybenzene. The t-butyl carbocation will be formed by a reaction of t-butyl alcohol with sulfuric acid. To perform the reaction we will create a mixture of the 1‚4-Dimethoxybenzene‚ t-butyl alcohol with acetic acid. To this mixture we will

The Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction created acetylferrocene and diacetylferrocene‚ using phosphoric acid as a catalyst for the reaction between acetic anhydride and ferrocene (once applying heat). During column chromatography‚ a solution is passed through a filtration system

Preparation of t-Butyl-Chloride March 8 & 15‚ 2012 Theory: Alkyl halides can be synthesized when alcohols react with hydrogen halides. An alkyl halide is a halogen-substituted alkane‚ and a hydrogen halide is a compound consisting of a hydrogen bonded to a halogen (H-X). Alkyl halides are classified as primary‚ secondary‚ or tertiary depending on the number of alkyl substituents directly attached to the carbon bearing the halogen atom. The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to prepare t-butyl-chloride
