As a result, we were able to successfully form the desired product, tetraphenylcopentadienone. We were first able to confirm this through the color of our final product, purple, as this is the expected color of the final product. As part of experiment 20A, we begun with 4.1508 g of the previously created benzoin. Through the oxidation procedure, we obtained 5.9055 g of crystals as our product. By further calculating percent yield, we calculated the original benzoin itself to be the limiting reagent in this reaction, resulting in a 70.29%. This is a higher value, which is desired because it shows that our experiment was performed as accurately as possible under the given conditions. Immediately proceeding the first experiment, experiment
