There are several different reactions that can be used to synthesize an alkene product, however the main reaction being utilized for this experiment is the Wittig reaction and the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons modification. The Wittig reaction involves a reaction between an aldehyde or ketone and ylid, which is also referred to as the Wittig reagent. The Wittig reagent is synthesized from a phosphonium salt and a strong base (Wittig Reaction, 2006). The reaction between the Wittig reagent and the ketone or aldehyde is a nucleophilic substitution; the carbon double bonded to the oxygen in the carbonyl is replaced with a carbon double bonded to another carbon (University of Liverpool, 2008). The Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons modification helped assure …show more content…

Take an initial TLC and then add a magnetic stirring bar and begin stirring. Once stirring begins add 0.4 mL of 50% sodium hydroxide and allow mixture to stir for 30 minutes and once time is met take a second TLC. Once reaction is complete, determined by disappearance of aldehyde on TLC, add 1.5 mL of dichloromethane and water and allow solution to separate, followed by the extraction of the organic layer and placed into another vial. The remaining aqueous layer is mixed with 1.0 mL of dichloromethane to assure all of organic is removed and then the the combined organic layers is dried with calcium chloride and the solvent is removed using a vacuum filter. The collected solid is then dissolved in 1.0 mL of 1-propanol using heat and then is allowed to crystalize. The final product is the collected, and analyzed using percent yield and IR. The theoretical yield for trans-9-(2-phenylethenyl)anthracene was 0.1562g; the actual yield was 0.088 grams making the percent yield 56%. There were three different TLCs taken each one indicating the progress of the reaction. The first TLC indicated two regents present, 9-(2-phenylethenyl)anthracene and 9-anthraldehyde or the starting materials. The second TLC indicated that there were three reagents; in addition to the starting materials there is also product. The last TLC indicated there were compounds present, which

Lab 1 helps create a better understand of the changes in crystal structures when the annealing and quenching process is applied to 1020 and 1080 steel. The numbered steel refers to the ASTM grain-size number. Formula 1 is used to solve for the grain size. n=2^(G-1) Equation (1) at 100x magnification Crystal structures change shapes which changes the strength of the material and its properties. The metal might become soft, brittle, hard, or ductile.

2.4 Band Division and Energy Computation: The power spectrum of the signal is multiplied by magnitude response of set of 33 triangular band pass filters and in the range 300Hz-2000Hz. Sub-bands are formed by using the logarithmic spacing. The positions of these filters are equally spaced along the Mel frequency, which is related to the common linear frequency f by following formula: Mel (f) = 1125* ln (1+f/700) (3) Mel frequency is proportional to the logarithm of linear frequency and which is close to the human perceptual system. 2.5 Sub Fingerprint Generation:

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.

Anderson and Wood (1925) determined a magnification value equal to 2800 but they neglected the deformation of the tungsten wire under different equilibrium situations. Conversely, the deformation of the wire could be sufficient to reduce the magnification factor of 30%, increasing the moment of inertia. For this reason Uhrhammer and Collins (1990) and Uhrhammer et al. (1996) recomputed the instrument static magnification (GS) that was estimated equal to 2080 ± 60. Using 2800 instead of 2080 in the BB WA simulations leads to a magnitude error of +0.129 (e.g. Uhrhammer et al., 2011).

\section{Facility Static and Dynamic Control}\label{Calibr} The facility calibration is the transfer function between the oscillating gauge pressure $P_C(t)$ in the chamber (described in ~\autoref{Sub31}) and the liquid flow rate $q(t)$ in the distributing channel, i.e. the test section. Due to practical difficulties in measuring $q(t)$ within the thin channel, and being the flow laminar, this transfer function was derived analytically and validated numerically as reported in ~\autoref{Sub32} and ~\autoref{Sub33}. \subsection{Pressure Chamber Response}\label{Sub31} Fig.\ref{fig:2a} shows three example of pressure signals $P_C(t)$, measured in the pneumatic chamber.

Using the data provided in each one of these tests it can be assumed that one has done the steps to be able to determine the magnitude and orientation of the charges of the tape in each test, thus, allowing them to apply the same principle to any object they so desired. Their results would line up with the following; that if the two pieces of tape are torn from the same 40 centimeter strip then the tops of both pieces of tape would be positive and the bottoms of both pieces of tape would be negative and that if they would double the tape the attraction or repulsion in general would lower due to the increased density. Their data would also show that two pieces of tape ripped from each other would result in one piece being entirely positive and the other being entirely negative, they would also be able to state that the orientation of how the tape is paired up doesn’t matter.

Suppose we have a single-hop RCS where there is one AF relay that amplifies the signal received from a transmitter and forwards it to a receiver. Assume that the transmitter sends over the transmitter-to-relay channel a data symbol ${s_k}$, from a set of finite modulation alphabet, $S={S_1, S_2,ldots,S_{cal A}}$, where ${cal A}$ denotes the size of the modulation alphabet. The discrete-time baseband equivalent signal received by the relay, $z_k$, at time $k$ is given by egin{equation} z_k = h_{1,k}s_k + n_{1,k},~~~~for~~k=1,2,ldots,M label{relaySignal} end{equation} where $n_{1,k}sim {cal N}_c(0,sigma_{n1}^2)$ is a circularly-symmetric complex Gaussian noise added by the transmitter-to-relay channel, $h_{1,k}$ denotes the transmitter-to-relay channel, and

1. There are two ways of maximizing points in this experiment. The first one is that I should connect myself to a vertex that is in the biggest component and purchases immunization. Since the probability of being infected is based off of expected value, I would have less than 1% chance of getting infected. The second way is that I try to make myself stay in the second-largest connected component.

Results The lab experiment was done in two parts, one with the NAND, NOR, XOR and Hex Inverters and the other with a 7483 full adder gate, both will verify the truth table when two input bits and a carry are added together. The circuits were built by examining the 1 bits through a K-Map to create a Boolean expression for the sum and carry. The Boolean expression for the sum was A⊕B⊕C and the carry as AB+BC_in+AC_in. From these two expressions, we notice that we must use two exclusive-ORs gates in the sum inputs for A, B, and C. For the sum, we have to use NOR and NAND (the only available gates from the lab manual).

Introduction- We did an experiment about different types of movements called kinesis and taxis. Kinesis is the change in the speed of movement or the rate of turning which is intensified by a stimulus (Meyer, 2006). Taxis is movement towards or away from a stimulus (Meyer, 2006). We did our experiment using Sowbugs.

One purpose of a Wittig reaction is the formation of alkenes from aldehydes or ketones employing a carbo-phosphorous ylide, which is stabilized vie resonance to allow for the carbon bonded to phosphorus to be deprotonate from by a base (Ketcha, 142). The resonating ylide will react with the electrophilic carbonyl carbon of its aromatic aldehyde to produce a betaine intermediate, or a crystalized 4
