This experiment is about the synthesis of 3-nitrobenzaldehyde through nitration. The nitration of benzaldehyde is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction‚ in which a proton of an aromatic ring is replaced by a nitro group. Many aromatic substitution reactions are known to occur when an aromatic substrate is allowed to react with a suitable electrophilic reagent‚ and many other groups besides nitro may be introduced into the ring. Although the reaction produced a low yield at the

BIOL2220 Lab 3: Hill Reaction Introduction In 1937‚ Robert Hill discovered that isolated chloroplasts can generate oxygen when they are illuminated in the presence of a suitable electron acceptor‚ even in the absence of carbon dioxide. This finding was a landmark in the study of photosynthesis because it established that the source of the electrons used in the light reactions is water. It also confirmed that the released oxygen is derived from water instead of carbon dioxide. In chloroplasts

were liquid‚ oily‚ and it had a banana smell. Introduction Artificial flavoring is commonly used in the food that we eat today. For example‚ fruit flavoring is a chemical mixture that mimics a natural flavor as that of banana flavor from the synthesis of isoamyl acetate. Ester is the functional group‚ which is responsible for the distinctive odor and taste that artificial fruit flavoring has. Esters are derived from carboxylic acids. A carboxylic acid contains the –COOH group‚ and in an ester

Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to produce isopentyl acetate‚ banana oil. Acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol were used to synthesize isopentyl acetate. The techniques used for the separation and purification of isopentyl acetate were reflux‚ liquid-liquid extraction‚ neutralization and distillation. The identification of isopentyl acetate was based on boiling points and an infrared spectrum. This experiment resulted in a 11.68% yield. The reactants

Polymerization reaCTIONS polymers are high-molecular-weight compounds‚ fashioned by the aggregation of many smaller molecules called monomers. Ex. plastics that have so changed society and the natural and synthetic fibers used in clothing are polymers. Classification of polymers Homopolymers - consist of repeated long chains or structures of the same monomer unit. Ex. PVC(polyvinyl chloride) Copolymers - polymers that consist of more than one molecule. Trimers - molecules consisting

Diels-Alder Reaction: Synthesis of cis-Norbornene-5‚ 6-endo-dicarboxylic anhydride Introduction: The Diels-Alder reaction is a [4+2] cycloaddition of a conjugated diene and a dienophile. This type of reaction was named for Otto Diels and Kurt Alder who were the first to investigate this reaction (Weldegirma‚ 2012). The Diels- Alder reaction is one of the most important reactions in all of organic chemistry because of the applicability of it. This reaction can form new

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
