a) Vaccum gas manifold consists of dual manifold with a number of ports. One manifold is connected to the source and other to vaccum pump. The inert gas is vented through a bubbler while solvent vapours and gaseous products are prevented from contaminating the vaccum pump by cold trap.
Schlenkware is a reaction vessel with a side arm fitted with a ground glass stopcock. It allows the vessel to be evacuated or filled with glass.
Bubbler is glass bulb filled with a small amount of fluid. It is used to evacuate air from a reaction
Cold trap is a device that condenses vapours. It is used to prevent evacuated vapours from entering vaccum pump and contaminating it
Septum is used to cap the opening of glass wares.
c) This is the simplest method of purifying a solvent. It involves bubbling an inert gas through the solvent. The inert gas is introduced to the solvent by using a clean needle connected to the inert gas. The needle should enter the vessel with the solvent through a rubber septum and reach the bottom of the vessel. Another needle is also placed in the septum as a pressure vent and exhaust.
d) Molecular sieves are used to dry dehydration solvents. They are zeolite compounds which strongly adsorb water and have pores. Both the solvent and water adsorb to the pore surface area. But the large surface area of the pores can only be occupied by the water molecule. Thus the water molecule adsorbed can be easily removed.

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...

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....
