This experiment has successfully synthesize an alkene product name Trans-9-(2-phenylethenyl)anthracene using the Wittig method. This involved creating an Ylide by reacting a base with benzyltriphenylposphonium. The Ylide reacts with an aldehyde reagent to yield the desired alkene product. The information in this lab can be used during the manufacturing of drugs by the pharmaceutical industry. This technique allows the scientist to add alkene groups to their desired molecule, allowing to further modify any molecule to any specification. The lab did accomplish what it set out to do, despite the 44.17% yield of the

    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…

    In Experiment 12B we used an umpolung reagent in an umpolung synthesis to synthesize benzoin from benzaldehyde. Umpolung synthesis is a synthetic approach that allows us to switch the identity of a reacting species. For example, the normal chemical reactivity of a nucleophile can be switched to one of an electrophilic compound. Two common agents are cyanide and thiamine (Vitamin B). The mechanisms for both agents are the same.…

    Alka Seltzer Lab Report

    Introduction An Alka seltzer is a Blood thinner and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that can treat pain, fever, headache, and inflammation. Its two main ingredients are citric acid and baking soda. When the tablet is dropped in water, the citric acid and baking soda react, which causes the alka seltzer to dissolve. If an alka seltzer is dropped in orange juice, then it will dissolve quicker compared to water because the orange juice has a higher level of acidity.…

    Oseltamivir: A Case Study

    Oseltamivir is an antiviral drug used in the treatment and prophylaxis of both influenza virus A and influenza virus B. It was approved for seasonal influenza by US Food and Drug Administration in 1999, and approval from Japanese agencies and European Medicines Agency (EMA) followed soon afterwards. A pharmaceutical company Roche launched oseltamivir in the global market with Tamiflu as its brand name. In 2007 alone this pharmaceutical company was producing 400 million doses of the drug with a market value of 2.2 billion US dollars, and benefitted by more than 18 billion US dollars since the launch of the drug.…

    There may have been errors in the lab that may have affected the results of the lab. There may have been mistakes: a person may have not measured the substances correctly while retrieving the liquids in the graduated cylinder, or not have been watching the conductivity probe while the group was measuring the electrolyte solution. Along with these, there is also the issue of timing the testing incorrectly. Adding onto this, there may have been a slight spill where the accurate amount of the substance being used was not completely added into the water for testing.…

    Ethyl Cinnamate Synthesis

    Experiment 5 Synthesis and NMR Spectroscopy of ethyl cinnamate Introduction: Wittig reactions involve the stereoselective synthesis of olefins from phosphonium ylides and aldehydes or ketones, where the carbonyl bond is converted to an alkene double bond.1 The variety of suitable reagents and the relatively mild experimental conditions facilitate their industrial applications, such as the synthesis of epoxides, esters, carotenoids and vitamin A.2,3 Specifically, the ester ethyl cinnamate is used as a flavouring agent and in perfumes. The diastereomers of the alkene are distinguished through Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, where the coupling constants of alkenyl protons are different for (E) and (Z) isomers.4…

    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.…

    P Toluidine Synthesis Analysis

    The melting point of the product at this step was 145.9-147.1°C, which is slightly below the 150 ° C melting point of pure N-acetyl-p-toluidine but much higher than the 43°C melting point of the beginning p-toluidine. The slightly lower melting point could be caused by impurities in the sample. Along with melting point results, the IR spectrum shows a single N–H stretch peak at 1659.31 cm-1 showing the addition of a C=O and shows a peak at 3287.55 cm-1 which suggests an amide while the IR of sample 1 shows N–H stretches at 3416.53 cm-1 and 3334.84 cm-1 which suggests an amine. The 1H NMR shows the addition of an amide by having a peak of three hydrogens at 2.305 ppm that did not exist on the NMR of the…
