Stanley Chan The Pennsylvania State University Chemistry 213.1 Synthetic #2 FFR Steam Distillation of Cinnamaldehyde Introduction Arguably, the industry that most utilizes advancements in organic chemistry is the pharmaceutical sector. It is critical to continuously develop new drugs to provide cures and symptom removers for the numerous diseases, ailments, and illnesses still yet to be remedied. Throughout the course of human history, natural products, evolved by biology, have been used to treat
TWO RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 2.1 Synthesis of 1,3-butadienes Dienes can be synthesised from aldehydes and ketones using the Wittig reaction. The Wittig reaction facilitates the synthesis of new carbon-carbon double bonds at specific locations in aldehydes and ketones (Bernard & Ford, 1983). The overall reaction mechanism is shown in Figure 1. Protocols for synthesising 1,3-butadienes from aldehydes and ketones have been established in the literature. The synthesis protocol proposed by Greatrex et
Abstract Magnetic polymer nanocomposites have attracted broad interest for hyperthermic cancer treatment because they are non-toxic, biocompatible, and can be remotely heated by alternating magnetic fields. The magnetic induction heating behavior provides a great benefit in biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery, and magnetic separation. In situ formation of an organic or polymer layer on their surface is one of the efficient methods for decreasing the aggregation between the nanoparticles
1.2 is the structures of adipic acid: Figure 1.2: Molecular structure of adipic acid Commercial adipic acid is one of the purest chemicals produced on a large scale (99.8%) because of the extreme sensitivity of polyamide synthesis to impurities. Typical impurities include
