Add ethanol (5 mL) and stir the mixture. Carefully add 10% sodium hydroxide solution (2 mL) and continually stir the mixture for 1h, note any changes. Place a 500 mL beaker containing water-ice (300 mL) in an ice bath. Remove the stirring bar from the aldol reaction using a magnetic retriever or a spatual and place the bar in the beaker. Stir the solution vigorously. Using a glass pipette, add dropwise the reaction mixture. This must be done very slowly and with vigorous stirring to prevent oiling out of the product. If the product oils out, you will not be able to filter it after stirring vigorously for an additional hour! You may also need to use a stirring rod. After the addition, make sure that there is no oil in the bottom of the beaker. If there is, continue stirring. Filtering oils will clog the filter paper. Vacuum filter the solids using a large Buchner funnel. Wash the…arrow_forward

- Please create a flow chart for this experiment. ( the images are steps 1 through five, the steps 6-9 are in the description below.) Steps 6-9: —> Cautiously add concentrated hydrochloric acid dropwise to Flask 1 until the contents are acidic to litmus and then cool the flask in ice. 7) Decant the ether from Flask 3 into a tared flask, taking care to leave all of the drying agent behind. Wash the drying agent with additional ether to ensure complete transfer of the product. If decantation is difficult then remove the drying agent by gravity filtration. Put a boiling stick in the flask, and evaporate the ether in the hood. 8) Isolate the compound in Flask 2 by vacuum filtration on a Hirsch funnel, and wash it on the filter with a small quantity of ice water. 9) Isolate, weight the product in Flask 1 by suction filtration.arrow_forwardI know this is a transesterification reaction, but why can't it be counted as an oxidation reaction as well?
