A student decides to perform the synthesis of triphenylmethanol via the grignard reaction. She starts with 9.5g of bromobenzene (M.W. = 157) and uses 1.21g of Mg (M.W. = 24.3) and 9.1g of benzophenone (M.W. = 182).
a. Calculate the limiting reagent.
b. Calculate the theoretical yield of triphenylmethanol (M.W. = 260.3).
Solution:
A) Calculation of limiting reagent:
Number of moles of bromobenzene = Mass /Molar mass
= 9.5 g / 157 g mol-1 = 0.0605 mol
Number of moles of Mg = Mass /Atomic mass
= 1.21 g / 24.3 g mol-1 = 0.0498 mol
Number of moles of benzophenone = Mass / Molar mass
= 9.1 g / 182 g mol-1 = 0.050 mol
Since, number of moles of Mg is minimum, hence Mg is the limiting reagent.
B) Theoretical yield of triphenylmethanol:
Since, overall synthesis is 1:1 stoichiometric, hence 0.0498 mol of Mg will form 0.0498 mol of triphenylmethanol.
Therefore,
Theoretical yield = Number of mol x molar mass
= 0.0498 mol x 260.3 g mol-1 = 12.963 g

What is the theoretical yield, pure % yield and crude % yield of Triphenylmethanol by Grignard reagent synthesis. 0.33 grams (0.22 mL) of bromobenzene is used (MW=157) with 0.068 grams of Magnesium (MW=24.32). 0.364 grams (MW=182.22) of benzophenone is used as well. 0.290 grams of Triphenylmethanol were obtained.
Provide a synthesis of triphenylmethanol that uses a Grignard reaction and does not start with benzophenone.
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...

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...
