Elizabeth Ochoa | 15492972 Post Lab | 40862 INTRODUCTION Elimination Reactions and Gas Chromatography Reagents undergo different mechanisms when made to react depending on temperature exposure and the type of solvent used. Elimination, substitution, and addition reactions are constantly in competition with each other. However, when these same reagents are made to interact under high temperatures, the products predominantly observed are elimination products. Ultimately, through this experiment different reagents are going to be used and exposed to different conditions. Predominant products are going to be present but part of the products will include the minor products. The best way to determine the ratio of major to minor products would be through the Gas Chromatography analysis. THEORY …show more content…

This type of reaction encourages the formation of C-C π bond by breaking two single bonds to carbon where one of them is a hydrogen atom and the other is typically a halide atom. The type of reaction it undergoes is mainly indicated by the type of alkyl halide(electrophile) it starts off as: a primary alkyl halide versus a secondary alkyl halide. The type of elimination reaction (1 or 2) is dictated by the type of strong base it is presented with; bulky versus non-bulky. Elimination 2 takes place when a primary alkyl halide reacts with a branched base. Also, in primary alkyl halides elimination and substitution reactions are in competition with each other. However, two of the electrophiles in the experiment are secondary alkyl halides which means E1 and E2 are in competition with each other and in competition with substitution reaction 1 and 2. The main differences between elimination reaction 1 and 2 are as follows: in E1 rate of reaction depends

  • The Deplanation Of Phosphonium Alkene

    770 Words  | 2 Pages

    The positive charge on the phosphorus atom is a strong EWG (electron-withdrawing group), which will trigger the adjacent carbon as a weak acid. 5 Very strong bases are required for deprotonation such as an alkyl lithium, however in this experiment 50% sodium hydroxide was used as reiterated. Lastly, the reaction between ylide and aldehyde/ketone produces alkene. (Eq. 1) As shown in equation 2, the reaction between the phosphonium salt and the sodium hydroxide produces the ylide/carbanion that is stabilized due to the positive charge on phosphorus and the conjugation that occurs in the benzene ring as shown by the structure B in equation 2.

    Every 5 minutes, a small amount of mixture was dissolved in acetone (0.5 mL) and was spotted onto a thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate, which contained an eluent mixture of ethyl acetate (2 mL) and hexanes (8 mL). The bezaldehyde disappearance was monitored under an ultraviolet (UV) light. Water (10 mL) was added after the reaction was complete, and vacuum filtrated with a Buchner funnel. Cold ethanol (5 mL) was added drop-by-drop to the dried solid and stirred at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Then, the solution was removed from the stirrer and place in an ice bath until recrystallization. The recrystallized product was dried under vacuum filtration and the 0.057 g (0.22 mmol, 43%) product was analyzed via FTIR and 1H NMR

    As shown in figure 2, the percentage of each isomeric alcohol in the mixture had been determined. The hydrogen atom on the carbon atom with the hydroxyl group appear at around 4.0 ppm for borneol and 3.6 ppm for isoborneol. The product ratio has been determined by integrating the peaks. A ratio of 6:1 for the Isoborneol/borneol ratio was expected and is validated by the calculations shown above, with isoborneol percentage at 83.82% and 16.17% of borneol. A CHCl3 group noted at around 7ppm and a CH2Cl2 at around 3.5ppm.

  • E Stilbene Lab Report

    1188 Words  | 3 Pages

    Discussion: E-stilbene is a molecule molecule consisting of carbon-carbon double bond with a phenyl functional group attached to each carbon on opposite sides of the double bond. Thus, since this molecule is an alkene, the electrophilic addition of bromine causes the bromine to break and add to the carbon carbon double bond. This mechanism essentially can be considered to have two routes, but three different products. One route will use from a three membered ring (cyclic) with a bromine cation, which will in turn from a meso product (Meso-stilbene dibromide) due to the Sn2 (2nd order bimolecular) addition of bromine, as bromine can only attack the carbon from the opposite side. The meso product has a 1R 2S configuration at its stereoisomers.

  • Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction Lab Report

    The “tetrahydido” in the names mean that there are four hydrogens around the aluminium or boron in the negative ion. The structures for both reducing agents contain negative ions and there are empty orbitals on the aluminium or boron due to the co-co ordinate covalent bonds which use lone pairs of electrons from the hydride ion. The same principles would go to the reduction of aldehydes and ketones where you get the same organic compound. It does not matter whichever reducing agent is used. In the reaction of nucleophilic addition, the aldehyde and the ketone act the same way.

    The spots moved 3.8cm, 2.3cm, 2.1cm, 1.8cm, and 2.5 cm, for the methyl benzoate, crude product, mother liquor, recrystallized product, and isomeric mixture, respectively. The Rf values were determined to be.475,.2875,.2625,.225, and.3125, for the methyl benzoate, crude product, mother liquor, recrystallized product, and isomeric mixture, respectively. Electron releasing groups (ERG) activate electrophilic substitution, and make the ortho and para positions negative, and are called ortho para directors. In these reactions, the ortho and para products will be created in a much greater abundance. Electron Withdrawing groups (EWG) make the ortho and para positions positive.

    The area of chemistry that deals with the study of reaction rates and their mechanisms is called chemical kinetics. Chemical kinetics also helps to define the condition in which the reaction rate can be reformed. Temperature, concentration and catalysts are factors that are considered to affect the rate of a chemical reaction. In this experiment, the objectives are to measure the rate of the decomposition of H_2 O_2 (Hydrogen Peroxide), with the presence of the catalyst KI (Potassium Iodide), determine the kinetic order of both reactants, and find the calculations for the activation energy of the reaction. The pressure above a mixed solution of H_2 O_2 and KI with numerous concentrations and temperatures were observed over four different trials

    The tests explained above and completed to aid in the determination of the unknown bacteria were completed in a specific order which was supported with rationale and logic. A T – streak method was completed in succession to obtain a pure isolated colony. The T – streaks were completed with nutrient agar to give the organism nutrients and allow the organism to grow. Once a pure isolated colony was obtained, a Gram stain was completed which gave the Gram reaction and morphology of the bacteria.

    If under normal conditions, when the nucleophilic nitrogen attacks, it will attack the cyclohexanone. If under rigorous conditions, the nitrogen will attack 2-furaldehyde. This is due to the carbon on cyclohexanone being secondary (i.e. more stable) than the primary carbon of 2-furaldehyde. The trend observed is thermodynamic control seem to effect primary carbons, whereas, kinetic control seem to effect secondary carbons. Under thermodynamic control the intermediate seems the most unstable. The kinetic controlled intermediate seems the least unstable of the two.

  • Importance Of Pharmaceutical Analysis

    Pharmaceutical analysis plays a vital role in quality assurance and also in quality control of bulk drugs and pharmaceutical formulations. It is a branch of analytical chemistry that includes separation, identification and determination of the relative amounts of components in the sample. The pharmaceutical analysis deals with the characterization of the sample qualitatively as well as quantitatively. Qualitative analysis reveals the chemical identity of the sample and quantitative analysis establish the respective amounts of components in the sample in numerical terms (Rappoport and Liebman, 2009; Paul et al., 2011). Fast increase in pharmaceutical industries and drug production in various parts of the world has leads
