In this experiment, I have obtained 2-ethyl-1-hydroxy-3-hexanone, by oxidizing 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol with commercial chlorine, Clorox. The identity of the final product was determined by Infrared Spectrum. In this experiment, I have recalled how to use starch-iodine paper to test for presence of NaOCl. Also, I have remembered how to perform simple distillation and collecting the distillate in fractions. The final product was 2-ethyl-1-hydroxy-3-hexanone and its identity was confirmed by Infrared Spectrum. A strong C=O stretch in the region of 1706.49 cm -1, C-C-C stretch-bend at the region of 1133.69 are a good evidence for a ketone. Additionally, the presence of C-O stretch near 1050 cm -1 represents the 1 o alcohol. Also, C-H stretch in

    Ethyl vinyl ether was used to protect –OH on glycidol based on a literature reported protocal.59 In a typical procedure, 0.675 mol glycidol and 200 mL ethyl vinyl ether were loaded in a round-bottom flask, to which 1.25 g TsOH was then added. The reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature (RT) for 3h. The resulting mixture was then purified by washing with 100 ml saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 for 3 times. The organic layer obtained was dried by MgSO4. After filtration of MgSO4, the excess ethyl vinyl ether was removed by rotary evaporation.…

    Cyclohexanone Reaction Lab Report

    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…

    9-Fluorenone Lab Report

    Reduction involves increasing the number of carbon hydrogen bonds by adding hydrogen across a double or triple bond which results in an increase in electron density at the carbon atom. Organic functional groups containing double and triple bonds which undergo reduction are unsaturated. The reduction of the double bond by addition of hydrogen atoms results in the product being fully saturated. Metal hydride reducing agents that have different reactivities toward specific functional groups are commonly used in chemical reductions.…

    The focus of this lab was to identify an unknown organism based on its characteristics and the results from each of the tests. There will be various of test to choose from in order to identify the unknown organism, which will eliminate numerous possibilities and narrow it down to one. All the fundamental skills that we have learned and practiced in the lab will be used to perform on our unknown such as aseptic technique, microscopic examination, the use of differential media, and determining if it’s positive or negative. Performing aseptic techniques is the most crucial step that requires the utilizing of transferring, inoculating, and storing bacterial cultures and media. Aseptic technique is defined as procedures that prevent contamination…

    4-Aminoacetophenone Synthesis Lab Report

    The amine was initially classified as 4’-aminoacetophenone from the melting point. An experimental melting point of 101.4-104.8 C was determined for the amine component and was closer to 103-107 C melting point for 4’-aminoacetophenone provided in the Lab Guide. This melting point determination was also very close to the 3’-aminoacetophenone melting point range (94-98 C), therefore a 1H NMR was taken as well to confirm the components classification. From the NMR it was determined that the compound was 4’-aminoacetophenone since only a para substituted aromatic ring could produce two doublets, as is shown on the 1H NMR. 3’-aminoacetophenone would have projected a singlet, two doublets, and a triplet for the aromatic region which was not present in the 1H NMR.…

    Similarities Between Hexane And Toluene

    CONCLUSION From this experiment, the properties of hexane, cyclohexene and toluene have been identified. Cyclohexene is the most reactive as it is an unsaturated compound that contains carbon-carbon double bond compared to toluene and hexane. Toluene is less reactive due to their aromaticity while hexane was a saturated hydrocarbon that only contain carbon-carbon single bond. Based on the result, unknown A believed to be a saturated hydrocarbon while unknown B was an unsaturated hydrocarbon.…

    In this lab, we carried out a variety of reactions using different chemicals and metals. A chemical reaction is when the chemical state of the substance you are testing rearranges its ionic and molecular structure. One of the reactions we experienced was single replacement, this consists of one ion switching places with another ion to form a new compound. Another reaction we saw was double replacement. In this reaction, two compounds ions are switched to form two new compounds.…

    IR was also obtained for the final product. Overall, the 1H NMR data shows a decrease in (Z)-stilbene and an increases in (E)-stilbene. For the first fraction, the crude product, a ratio of (E)-stilbene to (Z)-stilbene was 1:1. This means that the crude mixture was half of the trans isomer and half the cis isomer. This ratio was determined by looking at the two singlets in the spectra RM-09-1 representing the protons on alkene double bond.…
