Experiment: Reduction of aldehyde or ketone using sodium borohydride as a catalyst and ethanol as the...
hi, please help me with number 7. thank you EXPERIMENT SEVEN SODIUM BOROHYDRIDE REDUCTION OF ACETOPHENONE HOCH, DISCUSSION The reduction of an aldehyde or ketone with sodium borohydride is straight forward and usually affords a high yield of the alcohol. The usual procedure (and the one employed in this experiment) involves dissolving the borohydride in 95% ethanol and adding the carbonyl compound to this solution. To ensure complete reaction, an excess of sodium borohydride is used. The reaction between sodium...
just the balanced equations for main reaction and side reaction with steps and major / minor products please and thank you can you create a balanced stereoselective mechanism equation for both reactions using the 4tertbutyl starting base equation from the 1st previous image for the primary reactions and side reaction equations on the 2nd previous image. and can you also include any major and minor products please and thank you STEREOSELECTIVE REDUCTION OF 4-tert-BUTYLCYCLOHEXANONE OH 1. NaBH4, EtOH 2. H30+...
Experiment . the reduction of bencil (March 2020) Your name Sodium borohydride is a convert recent for the reduction of dehydes and ketones to 1" and 2 alcohols, respectively. The mechanism of the reaction - (below) is straightforward and is driven by boron's affinity for oxygen. In addition, given borohydride's remarkably low reactivity with OH groups under neutral and especially basic conditions, this reaction can be done in alcohol solvents. This means that (unlike LAH or Grignard reactions) no separate...
i need help with the postlab questions please Grignard reagent THE GRIGNARD REAGENT-PREPARATION AND REACTION In this experiment, you will prepare a Grignard reagent, phenyl magnesium bromide, from bromobenzene and magnesium metal. The Grignard reagent will then react with methyl benzoate to form triphenylmethanol. Introduction Grignard reagents, such as organomagnesium halides, were discovered in 1910 by French chemist Victor Grignard. The Grignard reaction is one of the most general methods for carbon- carbon bond formation in all of organic chemistry....
What are the desirable characteristics of a solvent to be used in the recrystallisation of a solid product? (Hint: what is the underlying purpose of doing recrystallisation, aside from making the product look attractive?) EXPERIMENT5 PREPARATION OF BENZOIC ACID Oxidation of a Primary Alcohol In this experiment, a primary alcohol (benzyl alcohol) is oxidised to a carboxylic acid (benzoic acid) by a strong oxidising agent (potassium permanganate) Because the synthesis reaction is carried out in basic conditions, the carboxylic acid...
