Experiment 11: Synthesis of Dibenzalacetone by the Aldol condensation Introduction: The Aldol condensation reaction‚ under basic conditions‚ involves the nucleophilic addition of an enolate ion to another carbonyl group. The resulting product‚ a beta-hydroxy ketone or aldehyde‚ is called an aldol because it contains both and aldehyde group and the hydroxy group of alcohol. Condensations‚ including aldol condensation‚ combine two or more molecules‚ typically with a loss of a smaller molecule (including

Crystallization of Benzoic Acid Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to purify benzoic acid by crystallization. Procedure: 1. 0.5g impure benzoic acid was placed in a 50mL Erlenmeyer flask. 15mL of water was added and the mixture was heated to a boil on a hot plate. 0.5mL of water was added to the flask‚ while swirling the flask. The mixture was boiled until the benzoic acid completely dissolved. The total volume of water used was recorded. The black solid that remain in the dissolved

Writing a Synthesis Essay/Paper A synthesis essay draws on two or more sources and combines their ideas into a coherent whole. The word "synthesis" means to combine related things in a meaningful way‚ with a specific purpose in mind. When you synthesize‚ you blend the parts in such a way that you create something that is worth more than merely the sum of the parts. For our purposes‚ synthesis means putting together the arguments of various authors in a way that sheds new light on the discussion

The Co(acac)3 complex is used as a reagent instead of acacH because acacH cannot be directly converted to 3-nitroacetylacetone. Since Co(acac)3 is not stable in HNO3‚ Cu(NO3)2 and acetic anhydride are used in this reaction to produce the final product

Literature can be an eye-opening experience. Reading some great works of World Literature helps us understand things even ourselves. Because by reading we are exposing ourselves to new ideas‚ we begin to have better judgment on things and we benefit from other’s point of view. We understand ourselves by putting ourselves in the characters’ shoes or seeing our own personalities in literature. It serves as a mirror revealing naked truth about ourselves we often understated and neglected.

EXTRACTION Organic Chemistry Laboratory This experiment was conducted in order to compare single and multiple extraction of caffeine from dried tea leaves and to calculate the percentage yield of caffeine for both extraction procedures. The group was assigned to do the multiple extraction. Before the extraction proper‚ the water bath containing the anhydrous sodium carbonate and distilled water was heated. As the sodium carbonate dissolves‚ tea leaves were added in the mixture and allowed to

After standardizing the melting device‚ a small sample of unknown carboxylic acid was placed in a capillary tube‚ and an arbitrary plateau of 200°C was set. When the sample started to melt at 150°C‚ another capillary tube containing a small amount of unknown sample was placed in the melting device‚ and the plateau was set to 135°C
