The goal of this experiment was to synthesize dibenzalacetone by aldol synthesis. The name ’Aldol synthesis’ was taken from the words ’aldehyde and alcohol’. This is because the product of this reaction contains both an aldehyde and alcohol. The carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction is referred to as aldol addition. An aldol condensation yields many species of products if the reactant is more than one. Therefore‚ the aldehyde has to react with itself to yield one product. Procedure: Followed according

Carboxylic acids are compounds which contain a carboxyl group‚ -COOH group‚ where the -COOH group is attached either to a hydrogen atom or to an alkyl group. One of the example of carboxylic acid is benzoic acid( benzene carboxylic acid) which has a benzene connected to the carboxyl carboxyl group‚ -COOH group. It has a formula of C6H5COOH. The carbon atom of a carboxyl group has a high oxidation state. Therefore‚ that many of the chemical reactions used for their preparation are oxidations. In

As for the phosphoric acid catalyzed aspirin‚ we saw an average of 55.0% percent yield and an average 42.2% percent error. The Ka value for sulphuric acid is 1.0 x 10³ while the Ka value for phosphoric acid is 7.1 x 10⁻³. Knowing that the Ka value denotes the acidity of

Multistep Synthesis of Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone Author: Instructor: Date work performed: 10.18.2012--10.25.2012 Date work submitted: 11.01.2012 Abstract: The aim of this experiment was to perform a multistep synthesis to form tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The first step of the reactions was to synthesize benzoin from the condensation of benzaldehyde. A yield of 28.91% benzoin was obtained. The MP of benzoin was 127O-130O C and the IR spectra displayed a carbonyl peak at 3415 cm-1
