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. After 1 h SG drying the SG (50% of the HYOODA) and SA (3.5 g: 0.007 mol) were added to the mixture.

    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.…

    This lab makes use of the reaction excess powdered calcium carbonate and different concentrations limiting hydrochloric acid in order to determine the effect of changing concentration on the rate of the reaction. Students will carry out 3 trials of 5 experiments each trial. The five different experiments are for the various concentrations of hydrochloric acid (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 mol/L). First measure out approximately 2 grams of powdered calcium carbonate using a weighing boat and analytical balance. Then, measure out 30 mL of 0.2 M hydrochloric acid into a volumetric flask.…

    In the Acid-Catalyzed Hydration of norbornene, water and sulfuric acid were added to the C=C double bond to form norborneol. Sulfuric acid acted as a catalyst, where it was not consumed in the reaction and helped to propel the reaction forward, as it was vital in forming hydronium ion and breaking the double bond. Both the products endo-norborneol and exo-norborneol were synthesized; however regioselectivity and stereoselectivity played a role as to which product was more preferred and whether the equatorial or axial orientation of the hydroxy group was favored. The setup of the Cold-Finger, and the ability of norborneol to sublime readily allowed for the purification of the crude product to obtain the diastereomeric products exo- and endo-norborneol.…

    The solution was stirred and cooled to 0°C using a water bath. The flask was removed from the ice bath then household beach (4%, 272.2ml, 1.2equiv) was added to the solution while stirring vigorously. Solution changed from colourless to dark red-brown to pale yellow. After a short time, sodium thiosulfate (10%, 10ml) was added. HCL (10%, 10ml) was added to acidify the reaction.…

    Goals The goal of the lab was to investigate the properties and structure of an unidentified compound that was discovered in a local landfill. The group was called in to help determine the chemical and physical properties of the compound so we can let the people of the town know so it can be taken care of properly with or without further precautions to be taken. Another goal of this project was to devise the synthesis of the unknown compound. Experimental Design In order to determine the correct identity of our unknown compound, we first started with a couple preliminary tests, which include physical state and smell.…

    Due to the results of our tests, we are pretty sure that our product is cyclohexene. Our product, cyclohexene, turned clear immediately when Br2 was added to it. Hexane only turned clear after sitting in a bright light for a long time. Cyclohexanol reacted quickly when the Br2 was added; it turned clear immediately. Our cyclohexene had a precipitate form when KMnO4 was added.…
