Question to answer from the lab: What aspect(s) of the approach taken is/are NOT especially green? What changes might be made to make the overall process greener? The Lab Experiment Summary Polyethylene glycols such as PEG-400 are currently of great interest to organic chemists, since their application as reaction solvents is very intriguing (1). PEG-400 is non-volatile and nonflammable in nature, and also possesses important properties such as recyclability, ease of work-up, thermal stability and economical cost. In addition, the...
Experiment Write Up Proposal You will write up a synthesis procedure for one reaction that could be potentially run in a face- to-face Chem 2321 lab session. Your proposal will include an introduction and procedure. The procedure will include step-by-step instructions for running the reaction (including reaction monitoring), work-up. (product isolation and purification), and analysis (characterization). You will need to include sample calculations for percent yield and provide sample spectra analysis. You must upload your proposal as a single document...
Exercise 2 Separation of a Mixture Based on Acid-Base Properties One purpose of this exercise is to learn how to use a separatory funnel to extract a single component away from other compounds in solution. To do so, we will apply the principles of solubility and acid-base behavior you’re seeing in class. One of the compounds is neutral in the acid-base sense. It has no ability to either donate or accept a proton from an aqueous solution, and will remain...
