synthesised is only 67%-70% and a maximum 70% yield of ester usually is not considered to be acceptable for a synthesis reaction‚ instead it is considering as a poor yield of ester. The synthesised ester can only have a maximum yield of 70% because for ester in which the carboxylic acid and alcohol are sterically unhindered‚ a same ratio mixture of carboxylic acid and alcohol can only synthesis ester with a maximum yield of 70% ester as the reaction with the same ration of mixture will reach a state

The Grignard Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Organic Chemistry Lab II March 19‚ 2012 Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize the Grignard reagent‚ phenyl magnesium bromide‚ and then use the manufactured Grignard reagent to synthesize the alcohol‚ triphenylmethanol‚ by reacting with benzophenone and protonation by H3O+. The triphenylmethanol was purified by recrystallization. The melting point‚ Infrared Spectroscopy‚ 13C NMR‚ and 1H NMR were used to characterize and confirm

a solution α-naphthol 1a‚ 4-methylbenzaldehyde 2a and tert-butyl isocyanide 3a in EtOH was magnetically stirred at 45 C for 12 hours under an oxygen atmosphere with an equimolar ratio of the three reactants. TLC monitoring of the reaction mixture exhibited formation of a new product‚ which was purified (Table 1‚ entry 1). Identification of its structure by NMR spectroscopy revealed that it was 2-(4-methylbenzoyl)-1-naphthyl N-(tert-butyl)carbamate (4a). Next‚ in order to improve the yield of 4a‚

The objective of this experiment was the synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate using an esterification reaction between acetic acid and Isopentyl Alcohol‚ using a strong acid as a catalyst. The product was washed‚ and distilled. This approach is called Fisher esterification‚ whereby esters are produced by the esterification of a Carboxylic acid where it is heated with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid which acts as a catalyst. The ester produced had a banana flavor. The extraction of the

Introduction: Copper (II) Chloride is the compound with a chemical formula of CuCl2. This is a light brown solid‚ which slowly absorbs moisture to form a blue green dihydrate. Copper (II) Chloride is highly soluble in water and will produce a blue solution. solutioAluminum is the compound that has a chemical formula of Al. This is a silver solid that can be easily formed‚ machined‚ or cast. In this lab‚ we will be finding the limiting reactant between Copper(II) Chloride and Aluminum. The limiting

Sodium chloride‚ also known as salt‚ common salt‚ table salt‚ or halite‚ is an ionic compound with the formula NaCl. Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of the ocean and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms. As the major ingredient in edible salt‚ it is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative. [edit] Properties Thermal conductivity of pure NaCl as a function of temperature has a maximum of 2.03 W/(cm K) at 8 K and decreases to 0.069 at 314

In the formation of barium white‚ the reaction involved was a double displacement reaction in which sodium in sodium sulfate being more reactive‚ was replaced by barium from barium chloride and was able to form barium sulfate‚ a white solid pigment and sodium chloride 2. As barium sulfate is insoluble in water it was relatively easy to observe and interpret what was happening as the chemicals mixed 2. The formation of zinc yellow also involved a double displacement reaction

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

Grignard Synthesis of Tirphenylmethanol David Szuminsky Organic Chemistry Lab II Shaopeng Zhang Monday 1PM 2/10/14 & 2/24/14 - Abstract A sample of triphenylmethanol was prepared using Grignard synthesis techniques. Reflux was used in order to speed up the reaction and the final product was purified using recrystallization methods. The percent recovery and percent yield were 80.46% and 47.526%‚ respectively. A melting point range of 85-87oC was obtained from

acid is used to synthesize N‚N-diethyl-m-toluamide‚ also know as DEET‚ through a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction. The reaction begins by first converting the m-toluic carboxylic acid into an acyl chlorosulfite through a reaction using thionyl chloride. The carboxylic acid is converted into an acyl chloride because the acyl chloride is more reactive. In this step‚ hydrochloric acid is formed from a hydrogen on the carboxylic acid and a chlorine from the thionyl chloride atoms binding together
