In this reaction, the palladium reagent underwent oxidative addition where it gave up two electrons in order to bond to carbon and halogen during the formation and isomerization of a cis-organopalladium complex to the trans complex. Transmetallation followed this mechanistic step and consisted of the transfer of ligands from one metal to another through the addition of an R-M compound, 4-methylphenylboronic
Radical Chlorination of 1-Chlorobutane. The radical chlorination of 1-chlorobutane was carried out using sulfuryl chloride and azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN). From the reaction there were for possible products which are as follows 1,1-dichlorobutane, 1,2- dichlorobutane, 1,3-dichlorobutane, and 1,4-dichlorobutane. The structures produced from the reaction are as follows; Attached to the four carbons in 1-chlorobutane are hydrogens that can react readily with chlorine, because of its electron withdrawing character. Chemical environment surrounding the carbons are different and therefore affecting the character of the hydrogens attached.
It was then reacted with propanal to give the secondary alcohol, 4-methyl-3-heptanol. The mechanism is shown below. TLC analysis was carried out on the final product and both starting materials. An IR spectrum was obtained in the lab and a H NMR was provided for interpretation. The procedure was followed
Organic Chemistry Preparation of Methyl Orange Purpose In this experiment the azo dye methyl orange is prepared by the diazo coupling reation. Introduction The first step is called “diazotization”. The first product obtained from the coupling is the bright red acid for of methyl organge, called helianthin. In base, helianthin is converted to the orange sodium salt, called methyl organge (1). Reaction Scheme [pic] Although sulfanilic acid is insoluble in acid solutions, it is nevertheless necessary to carry out the diazotization reaction in an acid (HNO2) solution.
That is why once you add the benzoic acid aqueous solution and the CH2Cl2 in the separatory funnel the benzoic acid moves from the aqueous layer into the methylene chloride organic layer. This will occur until an equilibrium is establish between the aqueous layer and the organic layer; that is there is an equal amount of benzoic acid in the aqueous layer and the organic
However NaBH4 has its down falls and decomposes in the presence of acidic functional groups like carboxylic acids, which means that acid groups must be reduced with a base such as sodium hydroxide before NaBH4 will be able to reduce an aldehyde or ketone. The reaction of NaBH4 is produced by the addition of a hydride ion to an organic substrate, and since this reducing agent contains four hydride one equivalent of NaBH4 is able to reduce up to four molecules of a ketone with a single carbonyl group. The mechanism for this reaction involves an irreversible nucleophilic addition of a hydride ion to the carbonyl group of benzil. Once the addition of this hydride ion occurs the carbonyl oxygen becomes protonated producing a positive charge on the carbonyl oxygen, which then recants to form a carbonyl alcohol via electrophilic addition of a hydrogen atom to the carbonyl oxygen. Since the carbonyl group of the ketone is trigonal planar molecule in its geometry it is able to be attacked from either side of the molecule by the hydride ion.
Introduction: The radical chlorination of chlorobutane results in the formation of four possible products. These products are formed by substitution reactions, where a halogen atom (chlorine) replaces a hydrogen atom (Wade 2010). The amount of each product formed is based on the relative reactivity of the product. The calculations of the relative reactivity are dependent on the reactivity of the hydrogen atoms, which is influenced by the chloro substituent as well as other factors such as the level of the substituted carbon and the bond dissociation energy. For this lab we want to observe how the chloro substituent has an effect on the reactivity of the possible hydrogen atoms.

Experiment 2.13.: Micro-scale Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Aim: This was a two part experiment in which the aim of the first part was to synthesise the Grignard reagent phenylmagnesiumbromide from reacting bromobenzene with magnesium and diethyl ether. The aim of the second part was to synthesise the alcohol triphenylmethanol using the previously produced phenylmagnesiumbromide by reacting it with benzophenone. Introduction: This experiment involved two reactions. First the Grignard reagent, phenylmagnesiumbromide, was synthesised from bromobenzene, magnesium and diethyl ether. Once produced, the Grignard reagent was then used to synthesise triphenylmethanol by reacting it with benzophenone.
July 29, 2011 Title: This report highlights an experiment involved with Acid-Base Titration. Introduction: According to the Arrhenius theory an acid can be defined as a substance that dissolves in water and produces hydrogen ions (H+), while a base produces hydroxide ions (OH-). The Bronsted-Lowry theory states that all acids are proton donors and all bases are proton acceptors. A neutralization reaction occurs when protons (H+) from an acid combine with hydroxide ions (OH-) from the base to produce salt and water. For instance, the neutralization of HCl by NaOH is written as: HCI + NaOH -----------> NaCl + HOH Equations for neutralization reaction are balanced so that the amount of H+ will be equal to the amount of OH-.
