In the synthesis of dibenzalacetone, what is the purpose of swirling the flask for 20 mins? It makes the benzaldehyde more electrophilic It removes the excess acetone in the mixture. It prevents the formation of side products It allows for the evaporation of ethanol, leaving water as solvent where the product is insoluble.

In the workup of the grignard reaction of turning bromobenzene to benzoic acid, we start by mixing the grignard with HCl and diethyl ether. We discard the aqueous layer and wash the organic layer with water. Then, the organic layer is extracted with NaOH. Then, the extracts are heated to remove ether. Then, it is precipitated with HCl. Precipitate collected. Let it dry and finally, purified with toluene and hexanes. Please make a flowchart of the process of this workup indicating what products and byproducts are forming. And what compounds are in the aqueous layer and organic layer in the steps.
Q1: Give one lysis buffer that is commonly used for western blotting experiments and include its components Q3: To make sure that you used a similar amount of samples, what important step should be done before proceeding the electrophoresis stage? Q4. Why is it necessary to store the prepared lysates in a very low temperature?
Acetanilide can be prepared via nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction of aniline and acetic anhydride. David having prepared acetanilide , recognized that his melting point was depressed because of impurities in his acetanilide sample. In order to obtain pure sample for better analysis he decided to purify by crystallization. Briefly outlined the method David should use in determining an appropriate recrystallizing solvents

The mechanism of the Fischer esterification was controversial until 1938, when IrvingRoberts and Harold Urey of Columbia University used isotopic labeling to follow thealcohol oxygen atom through the reaction. A catalytic amount of sulfuric acid was addedto a mixture of 1 mole of acetic acid and 1 mole of special methanol containing the heavy18O isotope of oxygen. After a short period, the acid was neutralized to stop the reaction,and the components of the mixture were separated.H2SO4OCH3 C O H CH3 O H CH3 C O CH3 H2OO18 + +(a) Propose a mechanism for this reaction.(b) Follow the labeled 18O atom through your mechanism, and show where it is found inthe products.(c) The 18O isotope is not radioactive. Suggest how you could experimentally determinethe amounts of 18O in the separated components of the mixture

What impurity was likely removed during the recrystallization necessary and was it effective and why do you think so using the prcedure belwo and the reaction provided. PROCEDURE Synthesis of Dibenzalacetone (A) In this lab you will need to determine the amounts of the reactants you will use. We will use 0.0125 moles of acetone. You need to: (1) convert this into a volume in mL, (2) Calculate the number of moles of benzaldehyde needed based on the balanced chemical reaction, (3) Convert the number of moles of benzaldehyde into volume in mL. Your reagent table should reflect your calculated values. Mix the benzaldehyde and acetone based on the volumes from your prelab calculations in a testtube. Add 25 mL of 10% NaOH solution to a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask along with a stir bar and 20 mL of ethanol. Make sure the temperature of the solution in the flask is below 25 C before proceeding. Add half of the solution from your test tube to the flask. Allow the solution to…
