    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.…

    Introduction: The main purpose of this experiment was to take the Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrum part of the “Analysis of US bills for cocaine using gas chromatography / mass spectrometry” lab and improve upon the gas chromatographic results. This would be done by finding a way to separate the peaks of cocaine and doxepin. The lab done previously showed the use of two different methods to obtain samples of cocaine and doxepin for spiked dollar bills.…

    Given an unknown compound in container 3, solubility tests, cation tests, anion tests, and conductivity tests can be used to determine the various properties of the unknown to then make a positive identification of the unknown. These results will not only show chemical and physical properties but also what the unknown compound might react with to form other compounds. After performing the four anion tests, a positive identification was able to be made showing that the unknown compound contained a chloride ion since a white precipitate was formed from the reaction (Table 1). The sulfate, nitrate, and carbonate tests all yielded negative results when no precipitate was formed. The reaction of the chloride anion is as follows: Cl-…

    This essay will focus on The Harrison Narcotics Tax Act of 1914. I will highlight the events in history leading up to the passage of this act, and the attitudes and motivations of the politicians who passed it and the ramifications to those it affected the most. Beginning in the late 1700’s the new Federal Government began levying internal taxes on distilled spirits as a way generate much needed revenue to manage the country. Taxes on carriages, liquor, sugar, snuff and property soon followed and provided returns to the New Government.…

    Discussion of Results: This experiment consists of three different parts. The main goal of the experiment is to identify the unknown compound the lab group was given. Along with this, the group is to discover the compounds many physical or chemical properties. Lastly, the group is supposed to create and preform two syntheses of the compound and see how they compare and contrast in different areas like costs effectiveness, safety, and potential yield of the compound. Through all of these different goals, the underlying key goal is to learn more about this unknown compound through the group’s own research and experiments.…

    Purpose The purpose of this lab was to separate unknown compound 204, composed of an amine, a carboxylic acid, and a neutral component, into each of its three respective states. The unknown compound was separated using microscale separation of acidic, basic, and neutral components by liquid/liquid extraction. Liquid/liquid extraction is a very common method often used in work-ups and allows for isolation of neutral components using acid/base chemistry; this method is extremely helpful in separating reactants and products of a synthesis. The components were purified and dried by evaporation and vacuum filtration.…

    Throughout world history, societies have used drugs, such as ayahuasca, opium, and marijuana, for spiritual and medicinal purposes. Even in our own country during the, heroin was prescribed to treat respiratory illness and cocaine was consumed recreationally via Coca-Cola products. In relatively recent years, however, the American government enacted numerous policies targeting the sale, possession, and use of specific drugs. In 1915, The Harrison Narcotics act enforced a policy with restrictions on manufacturing and selling marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and morphine for the first time. After the creation of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics under the Hoover administration, drugs were increasingly criminalized through the enactment of The Boggs…

    The purpose of conducting this experiment was to explore how different factors affect the reaction rate of enzymes reacting with their corresponding substrates in order to learn more about how enzymes function in different environments. The independent variables investigated in this experiment were the concentration of different substrates, the temperature of the environment, and the effect of a catalyst on the reaction rate. The dependent variable for all of the investigations was the time it took for the reaction to occur. To investigate the effect of the concentration of the substrate on the reaction time, four test tubes were used.…

    The use of drugs by Native American Indians is a prevalent issue in today’s society and by looking at the history of these drugs we can find out why this problem remains (“Native American Drug Use Highest Among Teens, New Study Finds,” 1). There are three main drugs that American Indians used before European settlers began their voyages to America. They are, coca leaves, peyote, and tobacco. These three main drugs all have early origins among the American Indian people and are used as stimulants providing a high with the correct dosage. The first records we have of these drugs being used are when Columbus received gifts from the Native Americans containing tobacco (“The History of Tobacco,” 1).…

    Often, media fails to display appropriate results of drug usage, other than the expected “high”. The media also glorified not only cocaine, but all narcotic trafficking to a level of prestige. Interestingly enough, as stated above, the media in a symbolic way, showed both positive and negative reinforcement with the involvement of cocaine trafficking. Unfortunately, in American Gangster, the movie failed to show the negative effects of cocaine manufacturing processing, usage, and trafficking. In order for responsible consumption of cocaine, one must conduct research of potency of cocaine, how it is manufactured, the difference between powdered and crack cocaine, and it’s processing speed in the body depending on the type of consumption.…
