The effect of photoinitiator concentration on rate of polymerization is given in Figure 18. The Rpis depends on the percent double bond conversion. The monofunctional diluent, DEGEEA is higher Rp than TEGDA and TMPTA this may be due to higher percent double conversion of DEGEEAthan that of TEGDA andTMPTA.[37-40]

    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.

    Discussion and Scientific Explanations The main goals of this experiment was to find the unknown compound, to discover the compounds chemical and physical properties and create two synthesis of the compound and compare the two compounds. We found out our compound was ionic because the compound dissolved in water, but not in toluene or acetone by using a solubility test, results on Table 1 of the group lab report. On page 59 of the Cooperative Chemistry Laboratory Manual is a chart on suggested liquids and the inference if the compound is soluble [1]. When then checked the pH of the solution by using pH strip. The solution had a pH>7.…

    Under these ideal reaction conditions, main application of this process was determined by using different arylhydrazines. As a result, a big quantity of phenylhydrazine hydrochloride complexes that incorporate electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups into the ortho-, meta-, and para-positions produced the required products in perfect yields. The ortho-substituted phenylhydrazine hydrochlorid reacted easily to produce the required product in good yields. The use of 2,4-dichlorophenylhydrazine hydrochloride and 4-bromophenyl-hydrazine Hydrochloride make this reaction High chemoselectivities.…

    Observations or reactions: Separation of the basic component: When 2ml of 3M HCl was added to the mixture of Benzoic acid, Ethyl 4-aminobenzoate, 9-Fluorenone, diethyl ether, two layers were created, an organic yellow top layer and a clear aqueous bottom layer. The clear layer (basic layer) was extracted and placed into a container where 6M NaOH was add to the solution. The addition of NaOH made the solution basic, and created white flakes in the solution. The white flakes were separated by placing them into a Hirsh funnel filtration, the sold flakes were pure ethyl 4-aminobenzoate. After a week the powder was weighted using analytical balances melted with a mel temp.…

    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.…

    Nucleophilic substitutions are a fundamental class of reactions in organic chemistry. This type of reaction involves a nucleophile, or an electron rich species, attacking an electrophilic site, or an area that carries a positive or partially positive charge, in order to replace a leaving group. There are two possible mechanisms to account for the attack of the nucleophile; the first occurs in a concerted process, or in one step and the second mechanism occurs in two steps and involves a carbocation intermediate. As the nucleophile is attacking in the concerted process, the leaving group is leaving, thus the atom does not break the octet rule. This type of reaction, known as an SN2 reaction, has a rate that is dependent on both the concentration of the substrate in addition to the concentration of the nucleophile.…

    Abstract: The objective of this experiment was to synthesize aspirin from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. The general theory behind this experiment was to study the synthesis of a drug from organic materials. During the experiment, esterification had occurred between reactants salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Then, phosphoric acid would catalyze the reaction and water would be added to decompose the remaining acetic anhydride. Through the process of filtration, aspirin crystals were collected and separate from the liquid acetic acid-water solution.…

    Introductions: The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize acetaminophen and esters in order to apply the process of retrosynthetic analysis to determine the unknown alcohols used to produce the esters. Acetaminophen, a popular active ingredient in many over-the-counter drugs, is used as a pain reliever and a fever reducer. It is synthesized from the reaction between a carboxylic acid and an amine; thus, acetaminophen contains hydroxyl and amide functional groups.1 C6H7NO + C4H6O3 C8H9NO2 + C2H4O2 This reaction is commonly known as a condensation reaction.…

    In this lab we used one of the most common synthetic medicine, Aspirin. Aspirin is the common name but it can also be known as Acetyl Salicylic Acid. Aspirin came to be because the hard work of scientist who were trying to relieve pain and fight fever without the patient suffering deadly side effects. A breakthrough occurred when a chemist named Felix Hoffman knew that phenolic compounds are corrosive because of the free hydroxyl group located on the benzene ring of salicylic acid. He then masked the hydroxyl group by replacing the hydrogen with an acetyl group creating Aspirin.…
