Lab: Grignard Reaction - Triphenylmethanol
Why was the petroleum ether used to remove the biphenyl from the product? Apparently, it does not dissolve triphenylmethanol. (Explain in 3-4 Sentences)

Grignard Reaction with a Ketone: Triphenylmethanol Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to prepare phenylmagnesium bromide, a Grignard reagent, and react it with benzophenone to give triphenylmethanol. Grignard reagents are very reactive and must be synthesized in an environment free of water or any other source of potential proton donor. Once made, the Grignard reagent will do a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon of the ketone, benzophenone. The result is an alkoxide that is then protonated to give...
In Grignard reaction: 1) The main by-product of the reaction to prepare triphenylmethanol is biphenyl. Draw the structure of biphenyl and write a reaction to explain its formation. 2) Another typical by-product of any reaction using phenylmagnesium bromide is benzene. Write a reaction to explain its formation.
1. a) Why does biphenyl have a higher Rf value than either benzophenone or triphenylmethanol? Explain based on the structures and their effect on mobility in the TLC process. b) Which compound, benzophenone or triphenylmethanol has a higher Rf value? Explain, based on their structures, how you can predict this. c) You developed your TLC using a 10% mixture of diethyl ether in petroleum ether. Petroleum ether is a mixture of non-polar alkanes, so this TLC solvent is composed of...
What is the theoretical yield (in grams) and percent yield of your triphenylmethanol product in this experiment? (Weight of triphenylmethanol: 0.060g) BACKGROUND AND THEORY The Grignard reaction was one of the first organometallic reactions discovered and is still one of the most useful synthetically. By reacting an organohalide (usually a bromide) with magnesium in ethereal solvent, carbon becomes a nucleophile. Grignard reagents are the starting points for the syntheses of many alkanes, primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, alkenes, and carboxylic...
I did Grignard lab in class last week and I took a tlc for it with the recrystallized product of Triphenylmethanol, the petroleum ether extract and the crude product. I am trying to understand what I am supposed to understand from this TLC. below are pictures of my lab procedures and my TLC plate. 38r H30 Tate of scal contet dl Toxis キlammak lo 104 Flam
a. How does diethyl ether stabilize the Grignard reaction? b. Could dimethylether be used instead? Why or why not?

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....

Preparation of Triphenylmethanol Using the Grignard Reaction. RH ROOH CO TO R-R MgBr 1.ether 2.11-SO/10 Icther Grignard reagents are highly reactive and can undergo undesirable RCOH TH₂O side reactions if impurities such as water, carbon dioxide, or oxygen are present. If the organohalogen is added to the R-Mg-X magnesium too quickly, undesired coupling reactions can also occur. In this experiment, you will use 0.015 moles of either benzophenone or ethyl benzoate as the recipient of the phenylmagnesium bromide and this...
