Tetrahydrocarbazole Synthesis Lab Report

Improved Essays
The heterocyclic compounds naming tetrahydrocarbazoles having the significant biological properties. The newly substituted tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives were prepared from substituted phenylhydrazine and cyclohexanone in glacial acetic acid under reflux. These intermediates on reaction with substituted aromatic acid chlorides in alkaline media finally converted to N-Substituted tetrahydrocarbazoles. Fifteen compounds are synthesized and charaterized by their melting point (MP), IR, NMR, MS and elemental analysis. All the compounds were subjected to molecular docking studies for Gln-6-p enzyme (1XFF) inhibition. The in silico molecular docking study results showed that, all the synthesized compounds having good binding energy. It showed the good affinity with active pocket and it may be reflected as a good inhibitor of GlcN-6-P synthase. The anti-microbial activity was assessed by agar cup plate method and the result showed 8 compounds having the better …show more content…
Scheme-1-Synthesis of substituted tetrahydrocarbazole Dissolve 8.8gm (0.08mol) of cyclohexanone in 50 ml of glacial acetic acid add 8.8 gm (0.08mol) of substituted phenyl hydrazine and boil the solution under reflux for 15 min, cooled the solution, where the product was crystallised out. Filtered it with vacuum pump, then drained well and recrystallised using Ethanol.
Scheme-2: Synthesis of N-substituted Tetrahydrocarbazoles
Suspended 1 gm (0.07 mol) of substituted tetrahydrocarbazole in 20 mL of 10% NaOH solution into a well corked conical flask and add 2 mL of substituted acid chloride with constant shaking for 10 min. until the odour has disappeared and then it was cooled.

    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.

    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.…

    For this experiment, a group was employed by the Environmental Protection Agency as analytical chemists. Their goal was to identify an unknown compound that has been discovered in a landfill in their hometown. Once they identified the compound, they would then have to determine both the chemical and physical properties of the compound in order to inform the townspeople of any potential dangers. During the first week of lab, the group was given a small bottle containing an unknown white crystal-like substance.…

    It is also recommended by ICH that all routine impurities at or above the 0.1 % level, should be identified through appropriate analytical methods [7], [8], and [9]. In the synthesis of Posaconazole, the process related impurities are identified by MSN laboratories, they are Hydroxytriazole, Tosylated compound, Deshydroxy posaconazole and Benzylated posaconazole. (Fig.1) [10]. Therefore, it was thought worth determining the impurities of Posaconazole to ensure the quality, efficacy and safety of the active ingredient and final pharmaceutical formulation. The four processes related impurities, a method for analyzing Posaconazole in the presence of these impurities, and the degradants obtained during forced degradation studies was required to be developed for the method is to be stability…

    The appearance of strong OH bonds, C= O bonds, and sp3 CH3 bonds in the infrared spectrum of the final product showed the presence of the desired product (4-t-butylcyclohexanol ). However, the reaction did not go to full completion because the IR showed that the starting material was still present by the peak at 1710.61 of the ketone C=O bonds. From this experiment, it was found that it is import to follow the steps carefully in order to have a complete completion of the…

    This very low amount of benzoic acid recovered could have been caused by a number of possibilities. Some of the components may have been lost throughout the extraction process, some of the component may have stuck to the inside of the reaction tube or the filter paper used in vacuum extraction, or may have been human error in recording the masses. In all of these occurrences may have contributed to the recovery loss of benzoic acid. Conclusions Overall, all three components benzoic acid, 4’-acetylbenzonitrile, and 4’-aminoacetophenone were recovered in very pure forms as melting point determinations and 1H NMR analyses were very clear and did not experience many shifts or deviations from what was to be expected.…

    As mentioned earlier, this experiement investigates “How effective are antimicrobial substances; natural compared to synthetic at preventing the bacterial growth of E.coli?” Despite the numerous trials conducted for accuracy, further experiment would need to be done in order to completely determine the effectiveness of both natural and synthetic antimicrobial substances. The hypothesis of this experiment stated that the synthetic antimicrobial substance used: Dettol was much more effective in resisting the growth of E.coli. This can be concluded from the results as the highest zone of protection measurement was: 20mm which is provided by Dettol. The lowest zone of protection was from the salt: 1mm.…

    It must be synthesized using several, sequential chemical reactions. Benzocaine is useful as a mild topical anesthetic that is the active ingredient in many anesthetic ointments such as Orajel for teething relief and Solarcaine, for sunburn relief. The four step synthesis of benzocaine (ethyl 4-aminobenzoate), 6, in this lab would typically result in overall benzocaine yield of 17.9% from the starting material p-toluidine, 1. Sharma and associates synthesized benzocaine beginning from vasicine with is found in the leaves of Adhatoda vasica. Specifically, nitro compounds were mixed with vascine in 120°C water for 24 hours and then purified by column chromatography. The final step involved the replacement of an amide with an amine.…
