reagents have a (H-) anion‚ hence it will be a powerful base and also take the role of being the nucleophile. For the experiment sodium borohydride was used since its properties make it easier to be handled. In this experiment both the trans and the cis isomers of the 2-methylcyclohexanone were to be formed. This is due to the chiralty of the compound itself. The product will either be thermodynamically controlled or controlled by the kinetics itself. IR spectroscopy can then be

Synthesis and Purification of Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA or Aspirin) Background Salicylic acid is a phenol as well as a carboxylic acid. It can therefore undergo two different types of esterification reactions‚ creating an ester either with the hydroxyl or with the acid. In the presence of acetic anhydride‚ acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin or ASA) is formed. Correspondingly‚ an excess of methanol will form methyl salicylate‚ which is also an analgesic. In this experiment‚ we shall use

rhetorical analysis‚ and synthesis‚ instructed by Dr. Tina Giovanielli. Although I believe all four arguments were strong‚ for the purpose of this reflective assignment I am going to choose one argument that I think is my strongest piece of writing then analyze it and explain why I think that is my best work. I believe my last assignment (synthesis) was very challenging at first but it ended up to be my strongest piece in the whole semester. Since I have never done any synthesis before this one‚ I found

Synthesis of Aspirin and Oil of Wintergreen Janelle Alyssa P. Prudente De La Salle University-Dasmariñas Dasmariñas City‚ Cavite‚ Philippines ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ acetylsalicylic acid commonly known as aspirin and methyl salicylate‚ commonly known as oil of wintergreen‚ was synthesized from salicylic acid. This study will show that it is possible to show two very different organic compounds from the same common starting material. For the synthesis of aspirin‚ salicylic acid

Multistep Synthesis of Benzilic Acid The synthesis of several complex organic compounds follows a multistep synthesis. "Multistep synthesis" refers to the procedure in which the product of one reaction serves as the starting material in the subsequent reaction. The multistep synthesis of benzilic acid begins with a conversion benzaldehyde to benzoin through a condensation reaction. The benzoin then oxidizes into benzil‚ which undergoes rearrangement to give benzilic acid. Benzoin Synthesis * When
