Organic chemistry

Science that I decided that my passion for science would be satisfied by a Neuroscience degree course. Chemistry has long been my favourite subject at school and the topic which interests me most is organic chemistry, especially aromatic compounds. I entered the Cambridge Chemistry Challenge and succeeded in achieving a silver award. I also undertook a period of work experience in the Chemistry Department at Manchester Metropolitan University, working in the laboratories with technicians…

The research work regarding the chemical processes within/relating to living organisms is said to be biochemistry, also known as biological chemistry. The complication of life can occur during biochemical process, if we control the information flow through biochemical signaling and through metabolism chemical energy flow. Various study fields like botany, medicines, genetics, Etc.which are areas of life science, are engrossed in research related to biochemical because biochemistry has made it…

how there is specific amount of iodine requires changes the color of thiosulfate ions, made me envision myself as a chemist. The idea that there are limitless possibilities for beneficial creations for mankind has especially fuelled me to explore chemistry. But, an unexpected and life-changing event happened to me that made my interest in science clearer. In 2010, I had a major surgery for my pectus excavatum. Being an adventurous youngster while staying at a hospital for over a month, I set…

atom. APPLICATIONS OF COORDINATION COMPOUNDS The coordination compounds are of great value. These compounds are abundantly present in the mineral, plant and animal worlds and are known to have many important functions in the area of:  analytical chemistry (environmental),  metallurgy,  biological systems,  industry  medicine. Coordination compounds has many applications in qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis. For the detection and estimation by classical and instrumental…

molecular etiology of various diseases and mechanism of drug actions. That builds my interest to achieve cutting-edge knowledge in biological chemistry to delve the physicochemical process,…

Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleyev, born on February 8, 1834, was believed to be the youngest of 14 children. His father, Ivan Pavlovich Mendeleyev was a teacher at a local gymnasium. Around the time Dmitri was born, his father went blind and later died in 1847. Consequently to support the family, his mother Mariya Dmitriyevna Kornileva began working at a small glass factory in a nearby town, and eventually started managing it. On December of 1848, the factory burned down, and the family moved to St.…

Green chemistry principles were applied to multi-step synthesis reactions; these reactions included the bromination of trans-diphenylethylene, bromination of ethyl trans-cinnamate, and debromination of 1, 2-dibromo-1, 2-diphenylethane. These reactions featured a reflux set-up, which allowed the reactions to occur at higher temperatures and aided in the prevention of the evaporation of the solvent and the loss of product thereby increasing the efficiency of the reactions. Furthermore, the…

Introduction A reaction in organic chemistry that involves a simultaneous 3 pi bond shift is Diels-Alder cycloaddition, where a conjugated diene and an alkene with an electron withdrawing group (a dienophile) will react to form two carbon-carbon single bonds at the expense of the one carbon-carbon multiple bond to most often form a 6 membered ring adduct (Ketcha, 106). A conjugated diene is a hydrocarbon the contains two carbon-carbon double bonds and a dienophile also means “diene-loving”…

Examination and Exercise of Green Chemistry through the Cyclohexanol Cycle Jesse Paner CHE 233L Section 301 Department of Chemistry, DePaul University, 1110 W. Belden Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614 panerjesse@yahoo.com May 1st, 2017 Abstract Green chemistry emphasizes the utilization of chemicals to their highest efficiency and reducing the production of harmful waste. This type of chemistry was initially conceived in order to reduce the damaging impact that chemical products have on the…

was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature until complete consumption of the starting materials, monitored by TLC. The reaction mixture was diluted with 25 mL of water, cooled in ice, and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3x15 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, and dried (MgSO4). After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified on silica gel with n-hexane–ethylacetate (8:2) yielding the target compound 8 as colorless powder (0.42 g, 79%); mp:…
