Maci Mullins CHEM2130-001 12/8/2017 A Wittig Reaction of trans-Cinnamaldehyde Statement of Question: What is the stereochemistry in the Wittig product, and why is it formed? Hypothesis: There were two possible stereochemical outcomes for this experiment, either cis, (E,Z), or trans, (E,E). The cis product, (E,Z), would form if the double bond and phenyl group added to the same side. The trans product, E,E), would form if the double bond and phenyl group were to add to the opposite sides.…
structure, it overlaps both the functional design, which is what Omidyar initially started out with and the divisional design. Within the matrix structure method, employees belong to at least two groups at the same time. For example, within the functional areas Omidyar set up initially, someone in finance could have knowledge and work in the operations division of the company and vice versa. The workers would also report to two supervisors – one within the functional group and the other within…
Introduction: Nitrous acid (HNO2) is used as a source of nitrosonium ion (N≡O+). The nitrosonium ion by reacting with an aromatic amine converted into a diazonium salt. As diazonium ion is a weak electrophile, it reacts with electron-rich, aromatic coupling agents to produce an azo dye. The products are mainly ortho and para due to the reaction being an electrophilic aromatic substitution Reaction: p-nitroaniline p-nitro benzenediazonium chloride Para-red…
Two of the most impactful social ills that Americans face today, in one of the most progressive and technologically advanced nations on earth, is poverty and crime. Many would argue that they are akin. Is there a link and what can be done to diminish or eliminate it? The connection between poverty, crime and illiteracy has been well documented. Holzman-Escareno writes in a 2008 article, American prisoners have a much higher illiteracy rate, than our nation as a whole. Of the adult inmate…
Nasra Hussein Dr. Carolyn Wanamaker CHE 222: Organic Chemistry 2 January 29, 2016 “Conversion of Oxazolidinediones to Isoindoloisoquinolinones via Intramolecular Friedel-Crafts Reaction” Researchers Ji-Young Min and Guncheol Kim from the Department of Chemistry at Chungnam National University developed a method of converting isoindoloisoquinolinones using a Friedel-Crafts reactions. Friedel-Crafts are reactions that involve a 2-step substitution mechanism where substituents are attached to…
Fig. 2 show the protons nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) of HBA and HBA-BMF. In Fig. 2a,terminal methyl group present in fatty acid chain show the peak at around δ = 0.9 ppm.31 The proton of −CH2− groups of the fatty acid backbone and terminal methyl group attached proton show the peak between δ =1.20−1.59 ppm.30 The peak at δ = 5.4 ppm is attributed to the protons attached to the olefinic carbon atom (−CH=CH−) of fatty acid,28 this peak provides the evidence of the presence of fatty acid…
Aromatic rings are very unique and therefore can follow very specific reactions in order to add select substituents to its ring. One of those types of reactions is referred to as Friedel-Crafts a reaction, to main sub-categories is Friedel-Crafts Alkylation and Friedel-Crafts Acylation. Both of these types of reactions involve electrophilic aromatic substitution and are work with deactivated rings (Friedel-Crafts Alkylation, 2010). In Friedel-Crafts Alkylation there is usually a secondary or…
Software Methodologies Agile Methodologies Agile Software Development (ASD) has in the recent years been an emerging development approach in the South African software development industry. The agile approach is continuously improving with time and companies are now identifying that, there are still difficulties in adopting the agile approach and how software is developed in an agile environment (Greer & Hamon 2011). Aleid (2015) explains agile as a set unconventional development methodologies,…
Potassium Permanganate Test: 1. Three drops of the compound to be tested are dissolved in 2 ml of water or aqueous ethanol. 2% KMnO4 solution (a purple solution) is added drop wise and the solution is shaken. 2. The purple color of the KMnO4 solution disappears and a precipitate of MnO2 is formed. A negative test is if there no precipitate. 3. Repeat for every unknown and record observations. Observations and Results Water Solubility Test: When the test was conducted and observations were made,…
According to studies that took place recently, it was said that every one in four people are illiterate. Being illiterate impacts some people in a negative way. They have a difficult time learning and holding new information, writing and reading what is beyond their scope of simple terms and sentences. “The notion that illiterate people are poor and stupid couldn’t be farther from the truth. Quite the contrary, most are quite smart. They have spent years learning how to cleverly cover up their…
