2 Methylcyclohexanon To Sodium Borohydride Di

Decent Essays
This experiment encompasses the reduction of 2-methylcyclohexanon to 2-methylcyclohexanol. The borohydride reduction experiment aim to use sodium borohydride with methanol to reduce ketone into secondary alcohol. This reaction take advantage of the hydride ion in order to initiate a nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group of the ketone. The common reactant that are used in reduction experiment in the lab are sodium borohydride and lithium aluminum. Those two reactants contain hydride anion that facilitate the nucleophilic addition. The vigorous reaction of lithium aluminum with water, makes the sodium borohydride ideal for this experiment. During this reaction, the Cis and Trans isomer of the product can be yield. This is credit to the

    In a typical example, 1 g c-PEO-OH was dissolved in 30 mL anhydrous N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent under dry argon atmosphere, to which 10 mL 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide was added at 0 °C dropwise for 30 min under vigorous stirring. The reaction mixture was then allowed to proceed at room temperature for 1 d. After that, the solution was concentrated by reduced pressure distillation to remove NMP solvent and excess 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide. The crude product was then washed with saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 and water sequentially for 3 times, dried over MgSO4, and precipitated in cold n-hexane to obtain a final brown viscous product. Preparation of c-PEO-N3 by substituting the Br on c-PEO-Br with azide functionalities…

    A possible chemical reason that this experiment yielded less than 100% cyclohexanone was due to the spontaneous decomposition of sodium hypochlorite, 2NaOCl = 2NaCl + O2, which decreased the amount of reactant present in the initial reaction when hypochlorous acid was formed, which was the oxidizing agent required to oxidize cyclohexanol into cyclohexanone. Sodium hypochlorite decomposed into O2 and NaCl due to a multitude of factors such as exposure to high temperatures, prolonged storage time or sunlight exposure. If a large enough quantity of the sodium hypochlorite was decomposed to limit the reaction that produced hypochlorous acid, the quantity of cyclohexanone produced may be affected. This would have resulted in a decrease in the production…

    The reduction of this ketone produces secondary alcohols. Sodium borohydride is often used in this process because it reacts more rapidly with the carbonyl group than with the solvent. In this experiment, the reduction of 9-fluorenone using sodium borohydride to give 9-fluorenol will be examined. This reaction involves the transfer of a hydride ion from borohydride ion to the electrophilic carbonyl carbon with the accompanying transfer of the electron deficient boron atom to the carbonyl oxygen.1 The reaction is shown below: 10 is 9-fluorenone, 11 is the intermediate borate salt, and 12 is 9-fluorenol.…

    The goal of this experiment is to synthesize a bromohexane compound from the addition of 1-hexene and HBr(aq) under reflux conditions. The product is then isolated and the regiochemistry is analyzed using chemical tests and known standards (1 Br, 2 Br) in order to determine if Markovnikov’s rule is followed. In general, Alkenes are able to undergo addition reactions due to the strength of their C-C -bond (60-65 kcal/mol) which is lower than the strength of a typical -bond (80-100 kcal/mol) between Carbon and other atoms. Adding a reagent across the double bond results in an exothermic reaction because one -bond is replaced by two higher energy -bonds. Accordingly, the addition of HBr(aq) to 1-Hexene involves the protonation of 1-hexene and is expected to produce a secondary carbocation, 2-bromohexane.…

    Experiment 15B was conducted in order to learn about the Hantzsch 1,4-Dihydropyridine synthesis mechanism. Furthermore, this lab will give students a better understanding of the terms pharmacophore and a privileged structure. In order for this reaction to occur an aldehyde, ammonia, and two equivalents of a B-ketoester go through a one-pot cyclocondensation reaction. After 1,4-dihydropyridine is formed, it is then oxidized to form its pyridine derivative. Alcohol or Acetic acid is then used as a refluxing solvent for this compound.…

    Synthesis of oleyl 9,(12)-hydroxy-10,(13)-oleioxyoctadecanoate (OLHYOODT) (4) The reaction mixture was heated on a magnetic heater and stirrer until it reached the experiment temperature; catalyst sulfuric acid (SA) and desiccant of silica gel (SG) were added to the mixture at that moment to remove the water during the reaction. The reaction temperatures were held constant within a range of ±1°C. A mixture of HYOODA 3 (5 g; 0.01 mol), oleyl alcohol (OL) (10 g; 0.02 mol) in a 250-mL three-neck flask equipped with a cooler, dropping funnel and thermometer was heated for 1 h at 90 °C. During the 1 h reaction SG was put in the oven at 180 °C for drying.…

    In this experiment, I have predicted the product of bromination of vanillin. The knowledge of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents on the benzene ring and the position where they directed the bromine, helped me to accurately predict the major product of the reaction, which is 5-bromovanillin. In this experiment, I have reinforced stirring, vacuum filtration, and recrystallization skills. Also, I have learned how to use Melt-Temp apparatus to take a melting point of the final product. 5-bromovanillin was obtained in 98.3% yield from this reaction.…

    This mechanism produced meso-1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane as the sole products. Although, cis-1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane can be generated the substituent groups are too sterically hindered and the molecule too unstable to be a viable product in this reaction (Figure 2). This is evident in the notably different melting points of the isomers, cis-1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane has a melting point of 113°C while the melting point of meso-1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane is about 238°C (University of Windsor, 2015).

    Hydroboration/Oxidation of an Alkene Introduction: An alcohol can be added across the double bond of an alkene via hydration, which is the addition of a proton and alcohol group to the double bond. This reaction can yield either a Markovnikov alcohol or an Anti-Markovnikov alcohol. If the reaction is carried out in acidic conditions, the reaction yields a Markovnikov alcohol. The mechanism includes the formation of a carbocation intermediate, which has a lower activation energy when it is formed on the more substituted or resonance stabilized carbon. The nucleophile then attaches to the positive charge created by the carbocation, yielding the Markovnikov product.…

    These two steps were already carried out and 4 amino-phenol was the amine used in the first part of this experiment. 4 amino phenol and acetic anhydride undergo a nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction. A reaction mechanism is a step-by-step process when reactant molecules change in their geometry in order to produce new products. This occurs due to omission or addition of reagents, where bonds are broken down to form new ones4. 4 amino-phenol contains two functional groups, an OH and a NH2 group attached to a benzene ring while acetic anhydride is a derivative of a carboxylic acid group.…
