Introduction:
The goal of this experiment is to successfully reduce 9-fluorenone to 9-fluorenol through
the process of reduction utilizing sodium borohydride and methanol as reducing agents. The
product was purified using recrystallization and the melting point was measured. Thin layer
chromatography was used during the experiment to monitor the process of the experiment in
order to recognize when the reaction was complete. Lastly, the Lucas test was conducted on the
products in order to verify the formation of an alcohol and compare the product with other
alcohol samples. The measured melting point, the IR and NMR spectroscopy data, and the
results of the Lucas test were analyzed and used to characterize the molecular structure of the
product. Percent yield of the product is calculated, as well as the Rf value from the TLC
process.
Figure 1: Illustrates the reduction of 9-fluorenone to 9-fluorenol
The reaction illustrated in Figure 1 is considered a Redox reaction, or a reduction and
oxidation reaction. This means that the reaction will involve the transfer of a hydride ion to the
electrophilic carbonyl atom. Within Redox reactions, a reducing agent is necessary in order to
provide a source of hydride ion to catalyze the reaction. There are 3 different reduction agents
used in redox reactions: Molecular Hydrogen, Lithium Aluminum Hydride, and Sodium
Borohydride. In this experiment, we used sodium borohydride as a reducing agent because of
the fact that is is more selective than both H2 and LAH, as well as being less potent, along with
the ability for NaBH4 to reduce ketones, present in our starting product, fluorenol. The reduction
of a molecule involves the swapping of a carbon bound to a more electronegative atom with a
carbone bound to a less electronegative atom. With reduction reactions, the electron density
around the carbon atom increases. On the other hand, oxidation reactions involve the swapping
of a carbon bound to a less electronegative atom with a carbon bound to a more electronegative
atom. With oxidation reactions, the electron density around the carbon atom decreases. In order
to determine which of these states a particular reaction may be in, one must first identify the
oxidation state of the carbon. The oxidation state is a way of counting electrons in order to
understand what the charge on an atom might be if all bonds were to be ionic. In simple terms, if
the oxidation state of carbon increases during the reaction, that means that the reaction is an
oxidation reaction. Transversely, if the oxidation state of the carbon decreases, that means that
the reaction is a reduction reaction. To figure out whether the oxidation state of a carbon is
increasing or decreasing, you must follow this guide: every bond carbon creates to a more
electronegative atom, you will add 1, every bond carbon creates to a less electronegative atom,
you will subtract 1, and for every bond carbon creates with another carbon, you will add 0. In
this case, the oxidation state of our carbon within the reaction from 9-fluorenone to 9-fluorenol
(Figure 1) is in reduction since the conds changed from +2 to 0.
The use of thin layer chromatography helps oversee the progress of the reaction in order
to recognize when the reaction has reached success. As usual for TLC, a solvent was prepared
for the process, as well as a slide. The slide was then eluted to monitor the reactions progress.
Below, an illustration (Figure 2) shows the difference between a slide showing the competition of
the reaction versus a slide that exhibits an incomplete reaction. When the reaction is complete,
the 9-fluorenone within the reaction mixture will disappear from the slides. Rf values were then
recorded and analyzed. The spots cannot be visualized by the human eye, and must be seen
under UV light.
Figure 2: illustrates the difference between a complete and incomplete TLC slide, with a completed slide missing the Rxn
spot .
The Lucas tests allowed us to distinguish the product as a secondary alcohol amongst
primary and tertiary alcohol samples, as well as allowed us to recognize alcohol functional
groups present within the obtained sample we were testing. This test incorporates the addition
of the Lucas Reagent (ZnCl2) to an alcohol sample in order to observe the reaction that follows.
The fact reaction from clear to cloudy solution indicates the presence of a tertiary alcohol. The
slow reaction from a clear to a cloudy solution indicates the presence of a secondary alcohol.
Lastly, no reaction at all indicates the presence of a primary alcohol.

Procedure:
0.6 g of 9-fluorenone was added to a flask containing 6 mL of methanol and allowed to
dissolve. Next, 0.05 g of sodium borohydride was added, and the flask was allowed to sit for 15,
with occasional swirling. The solution turned from bright yellow to colorless during this stage. In
the meantime, a TLC solvent and a TLC plate were prepared. The TLC plate was spotted; the
left spot being pure 9-fluorenone, the middle being a co-spot, and the right being the reaction
mixture. The TLC plate was then eluted, dried and placed under UV light for observation. The Rf
values were then recorded. Next, 2 mL of 3 M sulfuric acid was added to the reaction mixture in
parts, as to avoid the over fizzing of the reaction. In order to redissolve the precipitate, the
reaction mixture is headed. Once dissolved, the flask is cooled to room temperature, and is then
added to a bed of ice to allow for the precipitate to form. The precipitate, 9-fluorenol, is filtered
out from the solution via vacuum filtration and washed with water until the pH of the water
leaving the funnel is neutral, ensuring that all acid is removed from the product. The 9-fluorenol
is then recrystallized using methanol as the solvent. The 9-fluorenol is added to a beaker full
with hot methanol, and allowed to dissolve. Once dissolved, the beaker is allowed to cool to
room temperature before being added to a bed of ice to allow for recrystallization. The
crystalline product is separated from the liquid solution through vacuum filtration. Once the
crystalline product has been separated, it is weighed and the percent yield is recorded.
For the Lucas test, 3 test tubes were used. About 5 mL of Lucas reagent was added to
each test tube using a pipette. Afterwards, about 5 drops of a specific sample alcohol was
added to each tube. One alcohol was a primary alcohol, one alcohol was a secondary alcohol,
and one alcohol was a tertiary alcohol. For this test, ethyl alcohol, our reaction mixture, and
t-amyl alcohol were used. The reactions of the solutions after adding the respective alcohols
were observed and recorded.
Lastly, a sample of the crystalline product, 9-fluorenol, was collected and analyzed by
infrared spectroscopy. Before IR analysis, a background scan was taken using ATR. A small
amount of the sample is added onto the ATR optical sampler and the hammer is dropped. Then,
the spectrum is recorded and peaks that can verify the molecular identity of the obtained
product are labeled and printed.

Melting Point:

while the melting
point of 9-fluorenone was measured and recorded at 142-144 ℃
. It can be assumed that the
melting point of these substances was recorded at lower values than reported literature values
thanks to the presence of impurities within each. It would be fundamentally impossible to
remove every single impurity within each substance through vacuum filtration, the method used
in this experiment.

IR and NMR :
9-fluorenone
9-fluorenol
The IR spectra for 9-fluorenol illustrates a peak from 2800-3000 cm^-1 as well as another peak
from 3200-3400 cm^-1. The first mentioned peak indicates the presence of an alkane while the
second mentioned peak indicates the presence of an alkyne. The NMR spectra for 9-fluorenol
shows a peak at 6, 6.5, 7.3-7.6, and 8 PPM. The peaks at 6 and 6.5 indicate the presence of
alcohol and an alkene respectively. The variety of peaks from 7.3-7.6 PPM indicates the
presence of an benzene ring.
Conclusion:
To reiterate, the goal of this experiment was to reduce 9 fluorenone to 9-fluorenol
through the process of reduct and to utilize TLC in order to monitor the status of the reaction.
Then, the Lucas test was used to verify the type of alcohol obtained from the reduction reaction.
Finally, the melting point of the start and end products were recorded and both products were
analyzed using NMR and IR spectra. Overall, the experiment was a success, with no errors in
the lab. The spectra verify the identity of the obtained product being wn alcohol and the Lucas
test verified the product to have been a secondary alcohol. THe percent yield of our reaction
was 92%, meaning there was a high yield, very close to 100%. From the 6.77g calculated from
the theoretical yield, 6.23 g were actually obtained, which is very close to the theoretical value. It
does not equal 6.77 g because of the fact that the solution and the product both contained
impurities. Another set of data that verified the impurities present within our product was the
recorded melting points of each substance being lower than they should have been. With TLC in
mind, the Rf values for each substance were recorded and analyzed. From looking at these
recorded numbers, one can deduce that the polarity of 9-fluorenol is higher than that of
9-fluorenone due to its retention factor being less than the retention factor of 9-fluorenone.
Overall, the data collected indicates the successful reduction of 9-fluorenone to 9-fluorenol.

The dilute sulfuric acid is added instead of the concentrated sulfuric acid because of the
fact that concentrated sulfuric acid does not act as a reducing agent, and is instead an
oxidizing agent. These reactions need reducing agents in order collect hydrogen atoms,
but oxidizing agents cannot do that.
3.
Simply speaking, 9-fluorenone is capable of light absorption, which renders it white while
9-fluorenol is not capable of light absorption, rendering it yellow to the human eye.

Why is toluene used as the solvent for the recrystallization here?
Day 2: Recrystallization and analysis of the o-chlorobenzoic acid Recrystallize the product using hot toluene. Be sure to add enough toluene so that the solid dissolves at a higher temperature, but some of the solid stays undissolved at room temperature. Do not add too much toluene, as you may not be able to crystallize your product. If you believe you added too much toluene, or if o-chlorobenzoic acid crystals do not appear upon cooling the solution on ice, you will need to evaporate some of the toluene in the hood. The crystals should be suspended fully in toluene before filtration. After drying the solids, determine the melting point of the product.
