(vi). Initial addition of one of the products, viz. benzimidazole, to the reaction mixture does not affect the rate. (vii).The reaction rate is not altered significantly with the addition of nickel chloride, a typical chlorine scavenger. (viii). Polymerization is not observed when acrylonitrite is added to the reaction mixture. (ix). Oxidation of substituted benzyl alcohols by CBI has been investigated under comparable conditions. All the substrates follow the same kinetic behaviour as for the parent substrate. Electron donating groups increased the rate while electron withdrawing groups decreased the rate of oxidation (Table.2). The order of reactivity of substituted benzyl alcohols with CBI is p-OCH3 > p-CH3 > m-OCH3 > H > p-Br > p-Cl > m-CH3 > m-NO2 > m-Cl > m-Br > p-NO2 (x). Activation and thermodynamic parameters have been calculated for benzyl alcohol and substituted benzyl alcohols (Table. 3). The reaction rates are governed by the changes in both the enthalpy and entropy of activation. This is further supported by the lower values of Ea. The negative values of ∆S# imply the formation of an ionic …show more content…

The negligible electrolytic effect observed for the reaction substantiates the reaction between an ionic species and a neutral molecule in step 2. Further the participation of water molecule in the rate determining step is confirmed by Bunnet – Olsen plot giving a slope value ɸ= 1.30 which is in good agreement with the slope value ɸ = 1.40 for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols by CBT [33]. This clearly indicates that a proton transfer by water molecule occurs in the rate determining step leading to the formation of benzyl hypochlorite intermediate [49]. Hypohalites are known to decompose to carbonyl products [50&51]. Therefore the following scheme has been proposed for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol by

9-Fluorenone Lab Report

382 Words | 2 Pages

The purpose of this experiment was to learn about metal hydride reduction reactions. Therefore, the sodium borohydride reduction of the ketone, 9-fluorenone was performed to yield the secondary alcohol, 9-fluorenol. Reduction of an organic molecule usually corresponds to decreasing its oxygen content or increasing its hydrogen content. In order to achieve such a chemical change, sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is used as a reducing agent. There are other metal hydrides used in the reduction of carbonyl groups such as lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4).

Methyl Trans-Cinnamate Lab Report

It is understood the mechanism is acid-catalyzed where protons coordinate with the carbonyl oxygen to make the carbonyl carbon more electropositive for nucleophilic attack (Scheme 1). In the experimental procedure all reactants were added together, this is inefficient as the protons can coordinate with either trans-cinnamic acid or methanol. Coordination with methanol is unnecessary as it reduces its nucleophilicity and makes less protons available to coordinate with the carboxylic acid. To improve

(Carbethoxymethylene) Triphenylphorane Lab Report

2025 Words | 9 Pages

Abstract: The main goal in our reaction was to use benzyl alcohol and (carbethoxymethylene)triphenylphosphorane along with a Wittig reagent to create ethyl cinnamate. Throughout the experiment, many observations were recorded that demonstrated the production of our product, including the production of a thick black substance. Synthesis steps were followed involving PCC and other reagents such as DCM to produce a 62.5% yield following the TLC and flash chromatography. IR and NMR were taken on the product to be able to be analyzed and discover what was made throughout the steps of synthesis. After analyzing the IR, NMR, and TLCs, it was determined that the product that was predicted was in fact present in the organic compound.

In the article, Rhodacarboranes as catalysts for oxidative coupling of benzoic acid with diphenylacetylene, it has proven that the reactions catalyzed by [CpRhI2]2 afford the product in 90% yields.2 Furthermore, in the book, Science of Synthesis: Houben-Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations, 1, 2, 3, 4-tetraphenylnaphthalene yield 80% when synthesized by a palladium-catalyzed reaction.3 In both cases, it has proven that the use of catalyst is common to give higher yield of 1, 2, 3, 4-tetraphenylnaphthalene. Catalyst does not increase the yield, but it helps lower the activation energy of the reaction, allowing the reaction to proceed

The main objectives of the experiment were the following: to synthesize isoborneol, recrystallize the product, characterize it, and determine the yield of the product. To synthesize isoborneol, the reduction of camphor by reducing agent, sodium borohydride (NaBH4), was carried out (Figure 1). The utilized NaBH4 was determined to be active based on the bubbling observed in the reaction mixture. The bubbling is due to the evolution of hydrogen gas from the reaction of NaBH4 and methanol (Equation 1; Davis&Gotthbrath, 1962). NaBH4 + 4 CH3OH→ NaB(OCH3)4 + 4H2

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Reaction Lab Report

821 Words | 4 Pages

The purpose of this experiment was to learn about the electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions that take place on benzene, and how the presence of substituents in the ring affect the orientation of the incoming electrophile. Using acetanilide, as the starting material, glacial acetic acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid were mixed and stirred to produce p-nitroacetanilide. In a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask, 3.305 g of acetanilide were allowed to mix with 5.0 mL of glacial acetic acid. This mixture was warmed in a hot plate with constantly stirring at a lukewarm temperature so as to avoid excess heating. If this happens, the mixture boils and it would be necessary to start the experiment all over again.

Nucleophilic Substitution Lab Report

215 Words | 1 Pages

In the presence of a nucleophile and good leaving group, an organic reactant in specific conditions is likely to undergo a chemical reaction, namely, nucleophilic substitution. Nucleophilic substitution consists of two different mechanisms, SN1 and SN2. In this experiment, SN2 is the mechanism tested. SN2 is a relatively fast, one-step mechanism in which the nucleophile attacks the organic reactant and the leaving group diverges from the reactant to become a weak base (Fig. 1). The overall speed of the reaction can increase based on the size or basicity of the nucleophile, or the bulkiness of the carbon group with the leaving group.

In addition, phenolphthalein was added as an indicator. The aliquots were titrated against sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution until end point was reached, after which volume of NaOH consumed was recorded. The value of the rate constant, k, obtained was 0.0002 s-1. The experiment was then repeated with 40/60 V/V isopropanol/water mixture and a larger value of k = 0.0007 s-1 was obtained. We concluded that the rate of hydrolysis of (CH3)3CCl is directly proportional to water content in the solvent mixture.

Abstract The unknown concentration of benzoic acid used when titrated with standardized 0.1031M NaOH and the solubility was calculated at two different temperatures (20◦C and 30◦C). With the aid of the Van’t Hoff equation, the enthalpy of solution of benzoic acid at those temperatures was determined as 10.82 KJ. This compares well with the value of 10.27KJ found in the literature.
