In the very first experimental lab for organic chemistry, students are introduced to the world of the microscale which is very important for the organic chemistry experience. This would become a stepping stone for acquiring all the technique and experience in handling organic compounds safely and also effectively. This means to use the tools provided in order to get a better and much deeper understanding of the chemistry when applying it real time to reactions. In this case, the experiment…
Current research developments are extremely extortionate or lengthy when no significant results are accumulated. Therefore in my research, cost-effective methodology is used in trials to synthesize organic complexes. Organic complexes, such as vinylketenes and cyclooctynes are highly reactive reagents, and if successfully reacted, result in a major outbreak in the pharmaceutical industry. Vinylketenes are known to be extremely reactive, especially with alkynes in a cycloaddition forming a…

Organic Acids An organic acid is an organic compound with acidic properties. The most common organic acids are the carboxylic acids, whose acidity is associated with their carboxyl group –COOH. Sulfonic acids, containing the group –SO2OH, are relatively stronger acids. Alcohols, with –OH, can act as acids but they are usually very weak. In general, organic acids are weak acids and do not dissociate completely in water, whereas the strong mineral acids do. Lower molecular mass organic acids such…

seen that Huxley’s classes clearly reflect the interdisciplinary nature of environmental science, with elements of political science, economics, biology, ecology, oceanography, and chemistry, just to name a few. A well-rounded Huxley education will advance my learning and experience not only in environmental chemistry, but also in those many other fields. If accepted, I will contribute to Huxley and to the field of environmental science by applying my strong analytical, problem-solving, and…
photosynthesis (biology), organic synthesis (organic chemistry) or charge-transfer complexes (inorganic chemistry). It is important to know that most of the electron transfer occurs due to the metals, metals complexes and organometallic compounds. In this chapter a review of earlier electron donors and the different electron transfer will be developed. 1.1 Organic electron donors Since the earlier 1970s tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) organic compound has aroused great interest. TTF is an organic…
suited field of study as an undergraduate to prepare for medical school. Studying the chemistry field will give me the opportunity to study the process of drug synthesis and become knowledgeable about treatment of bacterial infections and disease prevention. This field will assist…
Assignment: Chemistry of Magnesium and Silicon Magnesium Properties Magnesium is a group is a group 2 element with the symbol, Mg, an atomic number of 12 and has a molar mass of 24.31 [1]. It is made up of 12 protons, 12 neutrons, and 12 electrons. It’s electron configuration is 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2 this given as noble gas configuration is [Ne]3s2. It has a melting point of 650 °C and a boiling point of 1090 °C [2]. It has a metallic radius of 150 pm, a coordination number of 72(6), and a density of…
The learning assistants for Professor Bahde’s Organic Chemistry I class, Allyson Dang and I, wanted to give the students a problem to work on involving a reaction mechanism. The students in that class have been struggling in many areas of the subject, but the main issue they have is drawing out reaction mechanisms. Knowing how to draw out reaction mechanisms is one of the most, if not the most important part of organic chemistry. When theoretically reacting molecules, one must know not only…
