What methods did the authors use to prove they have the right material? 4,4'-DIBROMOBIPHENYL [Biphenyl, 4,4'-dibromo-] Submitted by Robert E. Buckles and Norris G. Wheeler1. Checked by R. S. Schreiber, Wm. Bradley Reid, Jr., and Robert W. Jackson. 1. Procedure In a 15-cm. evaporating dish is placed 15.4 g. (0.10 mole) of finely powdered biphenyl (Note 1). The dish is set on a porcelain rack in a 30-cm. desiccator with a 10-cm. evaporating dish under the rack containing 39 g. (12 ml., 0.24 mole) of bromine. The desiccator is closed, but a very small opening is provided for the escape of hydrogen bromide (Note 2). The biphenyl is left in contact with the bromine vapor for 8 hours (or overnight). The orange solid is then removed from the desiccator and allowed to stand in the air under a hood for at least 4 hours (Note 3). At this point, the product weighs about 30 g. and has a melting point in the neighborhood of 152°. The crude 4,4'-dibromobiphenyl is dissolved in 75 ml. of benzene, filtered, and cooled to 15°. The resulting crystals are filtered, giving a yield of 23.4– 24.0 g. (75–77%) of 4,4'-dibromobiphenyl, m.p. 162–163° (Note 4).
Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
