Experiment C. Aim: To protect one of two carbonyl groups (C1) in order to allow the other to react twice with a Grignard followed by removal of the protecting group by acid hydrolysis to give final product (C2). Method: Ethyl acetoacetate (30.03g)‚ ethylene glycol (15.01g) and toluene-p-sulphonic acid (0.13g) were added to a 250 cm3 round bottomed flask‚ containing a stirrer bar and toluene (100 cm3)‚ fitted with a condenser and dean-stark head. Solution was heated strongly under reflux using

Introduction In a Grignard reaction‚ a Grignard reagent (R–MgX) adds to the carbonyl group in an aldehyde or ketone to form an alcohol (Figure 1). The reaction of a Grignard reagent with formaldehyde can be to synthesize a primary alcohol‚ with any other aldehyde can be used to synthesize a secondary alcohol‚ while the reaction with ketone is useful in the synthesis of a tertiary alcohol. Figure 1. General reaction mechanism of a Grignard Reaction The preparation of the Grignard reagent involves the

Tie-Dye Grignard Synthesis Abstract: 4-Bromo-N‚N-dimethylaniline underwent a Grignard reaction with diethyl carbonate to produce a type of the tie-dye chemical triarylmethane. This specific triarylmethane produces a vivid crystal violet color when dyed. The experiment was first heated under reflux to produce the necessary Grignard reagent as a grey liquid. It was then reacted with diethyl carbonate and hydrochloric acid to produce crystal violet. The resulting chemical was very absorbent to

The Grignard Synthesis of 3-methyl-3-heptanol In this experiment‚ an example of an organometallic compound which has a carbon magnesium bond will be utilized to form a tertiary alcohol. Grignard reagents have been extremely useful in the synthesis of a large number of classes of organic functional groups. Although Grignard reagents are unstable and decompose in air and moisture‚ they can be prepared and used immediately with moderate difficulty in the undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory

Purpose: To observe the reactions of specific aqueous solutions with specific aqueous reagents. Introduction: A solution is as a homogeneous mixture containing two or more substances. Reagents are added to solutions to create a chemical reaction or added to see if anything occurs. Reagents can be added to solutions to see if there is a presence of other substances. For example‚ iodine added to a lead solution. Iodine would be the reagent and would cause a chemical reaction confirming the presence

Determining the Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions Objective In this lab we took Fe(NO3)3 and NaOH and mixed 7 different mole ratios in graduated cylinders to determine what the mole ratio is. We also did the same thing with solutions of CuCl2 and Na3PO4. We determine the mole ratios by graphing the volume of reactant #1 vs. volume of precipitate for each reaction. Data Part 1.)

Question 1 (Limiting Reagent) 15.00 g aluminum sulfide & 10.00 g water react until the limiting reagent is used up. [Atomic mass: H = 1.008‚ Al = 26.98‚ S = 32.07‚ O = 16.00] Here is the balanced equation for the reaction: Al2S3 + 6 H2O ( 2 Al (OH)3 + 3 H2S (i) Which of the two reactants is the limiting reagent? (ii) What is the maximum mass of H2S which can be formed from these reagents? (iii) How much excess reagent remains after the reaction is complete

After concluding the experiment‚ I learned that the products reaction can be created in precise amounts when the masses of the products can be measured to exact standards. Further‚ I learned more about the molarity of aqueous solutions‚ and how that quantity‚ along with the volume of the solution‚ can be manipulated to find the exact number of moles in a given volume. In this case‚ experimenters were given aqueous solutions of NaOH and CaCl2 in known molarities and then had them react with one another

Lead Nitrate Stock Solution— Dissolve 159.8 mg of lead nitrate in 100 mL of water to which has been added 1 mL of nitric acid‚ then dilute with water to 1000 mL. Prepare and store this solution in glass containers free from soluble lead salts. Standard Lead Solution— On the day of use‚ dilute 10.0 mL of Lead Nitrate Stock Solution with water to 100.0 mL. Each mL of Standard Lead Solution contains the equivalent of 10 µg of lead. A comparison solution

Discussion: For this experiment to occur‚ the limiting and the excess reagents needed to be determined. The limiting reagent was picked based upon the single displacement that was going to occur when the two substances‚ iron and copper(II)sulfate‚ were mixed together in water. Seeing that iron was going to displace copper and take its place‚ it was chosen to be the limiting reagent with the condition that if it was in excess then after the displacement was completed‚ there will be iron precipitate
