Cyclohexene Lab Report

614 Words3 Pages

After the assigned reaction was complete, samples of authentic cis-cyclohexene-1,2-diol, authentic trans-cyclohexene-1,2-diol, a 50:50 mix of the cis and trans cyclohexene-1,2-diols, and the product were each spotted on the Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) plate. Then the TLC plate was placed inside a saturated beaker filled ethyl acetate in order to develop the plate. Once the solvent traveled up the solvent front, the plate was stained with anisaldehyde solution and then heated with a heat gun so the results could be visible. When looking at the results, the spot for the authentic cis-cyclohexene-1,2-diol turned a dark purple/light pink color, the spot for the authentic trans-cyclohexene-1,2-diol turned a light purple/blue color, the spot of the 50:50 mix of the cis and trans cyclohexene-1,2-diols turned a dark purple/light pink color, and the spot for the product turned a dark pink color. The color similarities between the product, the cis-cyclohexene-1,2-diol, and even the 50:50 mix of cis and trans diols indicated that the …show more content…

There are many convenient uses of TLC including monitoring the progress of a reaction, identifying a product by establishing that two compounds are the same, and determining the number of compounds in a mixture. In this experiment, TLC analysis helped determine whether the product matched any of the possible known products. One measure that TLC does not account for is the calculated percent yield. While TLC can help indicate a compound’s purity, it is not an absolute quantitative method. Only qualitative data is provided by TLC. For example, when a pure compound is spotted on the TLC plate and then developed, one spot should appear. If more than one spot appears in the same lane of the plate when spotted, this may indicate an impure compound. But many different compound show similar results on the TLC plate, so this tactic cannot be used entirely to determine

Benzyne Formation and the Diels-Alder Reaction Preparation of 1,2,3,4 Tetraphenylnaphthalene Aubree Edwards Purpose: 1,2,3,4-tetraphenylnaphthalene is prepared by first producing benzyne via the unstable diazonium salt. Then tetraphenylcyclopentadienone and benzyne undergo a diels-alder reaction to create 1,2,3,4-tetraphenylnaphthalene. Reactions: Procedure: The reaction mixture was created. Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (0.1197g, 0.3113 mmol) a black solid powder, anthranilic acid ( 0.0482g, 0.3516 mmol) a yellowish sand, and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (1.2 ml) was added to a 5-ml conical vial.

Dehydration Of 2-Methylcyclohexanol Lab Report

967 Words | 4 Pages

Dehydration of 2-Methylcyclohexanol Sura Abedali Wednesday 2:00 PM January 31, 2018 Introduction: Dehydration reactions are important processes to convert alcohols into alkenes. It is a type of elimination reaction that removes an “-OH” group from one carbon molecule and a hydrogen from a neighboring carbon, thus releasing them as a water molecule (H2O) and forming a pi bond between the two carbons1. In this experiment, 2-methylcyclohexanol undergoes dehydration to form three possible products: methylenecylcohexane, 1-methylcyclohexene, and 3-methylcyclohexene in a Hickman still apparatus. Adding 85% Phosphoric Acid to protonates the “-OH” group, turning it into a better leaving group and initiating the dehydration reaction.

When the aqueous layer was added to the vial, calcium chloride was then added to dry the solution. If the solution was dry enough, a large peak between 3300-3500 would have been present in the IR spectrum. In order to obtain the IR spectrum two Classification test were performed. The Bromine test and Permanganate test were used to determine if alkenes were indeed present in the solution. Both test were positive for the compound.

In this lab, three unknown compounds were separated from a mixture and identified by melting point. Unknown mixture #124 has components of acid, base and neutral compound. The compounds were identified by melting point and matched up with the known melting points from a given list. In order to identify the compound it was important to separate by dissolving the mixture in an organic solvent which was not soluble in water, and then extracting the solution first with HCl, and then dilute sodium hydroxide solution. From the separation mixture, the aqueous layer were obtained and labeled as TT-1 (base), TT-2(acid) and TT-3 (neutral) in three different test tubes for later recovery.

Questionable methods of pain relief have been practiced on this planet since the stone ages. Luckily, modern advancements in medicine have granted us safe and quick options for relieving pain. Analgesics, often referred to as painkillers, are drugs that work by targeting the peripheral and central nervous systems. They are important because they are responsible for alleviating our headaches, body aches, fever, and inflammation. Non-opioid analgesics include acetaminophen and non- steroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin; they are typically used for mild pain.

This experiment aims to identify the pigments in spinach using column chromatography. The two categories of pigments which exist in spinach are carotenoids and chlorophylls. β-Carotene is non-polar and is a series of repeated isoprene units, see Figure 1 for structure. It varies from α-Carotene by the double bond on the left carbon ring which is shifted over to the left by one set of carbons in α.

After that, we applied the TLC Plate method to monitor the reaction progress. TLC is a simple and inexpensive way to show the number of the components in the tested mixture. These all involve using solvent with a specific polarity, a jar with soaked paper, and a high polarity silica plate. If our compound is highly polar, it will stick to the silica plate and will not move up on it.

Thin Layer Chromatography

5279 Words | 22 Pages

The liquid will slowly raise up the plate by capillary action causing the sample to become distributed between the stationary phase and the moving liquid phase. Because most compounds are colourless, the materials must be visualized by placing the plates under ultraviolet light or spraying the plate with a chemical reagent. The distance a spot travels up a thin-layer plate can be assigned a numerical value known as the Rf value. Theory: The technique of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) uses a solid stationary phase and a moving liquid phase to separate the constituent of a mixture.

Cyclodextrins Lab Report

1855 Words | 8 Pages

Introduction Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides consist of (α-1,4)-linked α-D-glucopyranose units produced by bacterial digestion of cellulose. These structurally related natural products contain a central cavity that was lined by the skeletal carbons and ethereal oxygens of the glucose residues, which gave it a lipophilic character to a certain extent while the outer surface is hydrophilic. The 3D-structure of CDs are shaped like a truncated cone rather than perfect cylinders due to the chair conformation of their glucopyranose units. The hydroxyl functional groups are orientated on the cone exterior with the primary hydroxyl groups of the sugar residues at the narrow edge of the cone, and the secondary hydroxyl groups at the wider edge. The polarity of the cavity has been estimated to be similar to that of an aqueous

Risks In Genetic Counselling

1169 Words | 5 Pages

Determining the recurrence risks in genetic counselling is very important. Risk of being affected by a particular genetic disorder is based on the genetic nature of the disorder and the pedigree of the particular family being counselled. The family member being counselled is usually a relative of the proband. Risks for single gene disorders can be estimated by using basic Mendelian principles, while the risk calculation might be complicated in disorders with decreased penetrance, variability of expression or in diseases caused frequently by new mutations. Bayesian analysis can be used in these cases to analyse information about the particular family being counselled and determine the increase or decrease in previous mendelian risk.
