Abstract: This experiment synthesized H-Gly-Phe-OH dipeptide using “Fmoc chemistry”. The first part of experiment was the synthesis of L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride. The methyl ester can be synthesised by reaction of thionyl chloride‚ SOCl2 and dry methanol with L-phenylalanine under reflux condition. The peptide bond was formed later in the experiment‚ where HBTU‚ DiPEA and a solution of Fmoc-Gly-OH in DMF were added to a solution of L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride in DMF

Synthesis and Decomposition of Zinc Iodide Partners: Sonya Pasia and Kristen Kobayashi CH 085-01 20 September 2011 Zinc Iodide (ZnI2) was an interesting binary compound to experiment with. In this experiment‚ weakly acidified water (25mL distilled water with 18 drops 5M acetic acid solution) was used as an aid to bring molecules of the zinc and iodide atoms together‚ by dissolving iodine molecules‚ so that bonding would transpire to produce a reaction. Deprived of water‚ the Zn and I2

Synthesis of terpolymer PLGC: The terpolymer PLGC was synthesized using a reported procedure with a starting monomer ratio of 70:20:10 of L-LA‚ GL and Ɛ-CL respectively using the catalyst tin(II)2-ethyl hexanoate. The chemical reaction is given in the figure1. The yield % of the synthesized polymer was calculated by the equation: Yield %= (Weight of synthesized polymer)/(Weight of the monomers taken) ×100 Characterization of synthesized polymer: Chemical analysis using Fourier transform infrared
