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

Synthesis of Cyclohexanol Author: Ahmed Ayyash 06/06/13 Introduction: In this experiment‚ cyclohexanol was prepared from an initial cyclohexene. However‚ this occurred over a number of steps‚ these are out lined below. 1. Cyclohexene + aqueous acid cyclohexyl cation 2. cyclohexyl cation + hydrogen sulphate + water protonated cyclohexanol + cyclohexyl hydrogen sulphate 3. cyclohexyl hydrogen sulphate protonated cyclohexanol + HSO4 4. protonated cyclohexanol + HSO4

The Synthesis of Aspirin Chemistry Standard Level Lab Report Data Collection and Processing and Conclusion and Evaluation Date: December 8th‚ 2011 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to synthesize aspirin‚ determine the theoretical yield‚ compare the percent yield to the theoretical yield and test the purity of aspirin by adding Iron (III) chloride to the product. Hypothesis: I hypothesize that salicylic acid will react with acetic anhydride to produce acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)

called p- Nirtoanoline. P-Nitroaniline is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes‚ antioxidants‚ pharmaceuticals and gasoline. P-Nitroaniline is also used in gum inhibitors‚ poultry medicines and as a corrosion inhibitor. [2] Nitration is a type of chemical reaction which a nitro group is added to or substituted in a molecule. It can be carried out by a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Mixture is useful to obtain the active nitronium ion. Electrophilic aromatic

Sucrose Synthesis by D. DeWitt‚ PhD v1.5 11/10/12 Introduction | Condensation Reaction | Plant Synthesis | A. Introduction Although it might seem straight forward‚ the synthesis of sucrose‚ either as a simple condensation reaction (a.k.a. dehydration synthesis)‚ or what actually happens in plants is complicated. Before we explore sucrose’s creation‚ let’s take a look at its structure. In Figure 1‚ the space-filling model is pretty but rather useless at this point in our journey. We

Alum Synthesis: The Chemical Process of Recycling Aluminum Introduction By recycling aluminum cans‚ the costs and energy savings are dramatically more resourceful and efficient than producing aluminum from what it is naturally found in‚ bauxite ore. The process of recycling aluminum to produce potassium aluminum sulfate‚ a common alum‚ will be done through a serious of chemical reactions. Through this reaction‚ percent yield will be determined.

Synthesis of Acetaminophen Lab Report Bijal Patel‚ 20467049 Partner: Poojan Parikh T.A.’s: Long Pu CHEM 123L‚ Section: 006‚ Rm: ESC 149 Tuesday February 4‚ 2013‚ 2:30pm-5:20pm Experiment Done: Tuesday January 22‚ 2013 Introduction Acetaminophen was first introduced in 1955 (Richman‚ 2004). 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

Gay/Lesbian Families Adoption is an extremely sensitive subject‚(insert dash) especially for individuals who are Gay or Lesbian. There is much controversy on the topic. There are a variety of ways to which it isn’t possible for a couple to adopt. Infertility is becoming a greater problem in our time. In Gerald P.

That is the sentence that defines what the teenagers’ worth to the country is. We are supposed to change what the country is now. But the question is . . . Can we? From what I observed is happening now‚ instead of being the country’s biggest hope‚ we seem to be one of its burdens. There’s pre-marital sex‚ prostitution‚ juvenile delinquencies‚ and the list
