Carbonyl

reaction is a means of forming carbon-carbon bonds in organic chemistry. Discovered independently by the Russian chemist Alexander Borodin in 1869 and by the French chemist Charles- Adolphe Wurtz in 1872, the reaction comvines two carbonyl compounds to form a new B-hydroxy carbonyl compound. These products are known as aldols, from the aldehyde + alcohol, a structural motif seen in many of the products. Aldol structural units are found in many important molecules, whether naturally occuring or synthetic

hydrogen is acidic because of its location near the carbonyl on acetophenone. When the sodium hydroxide is added, it deprotonates the hydrogen and creates an enolate ion. This deprotonation creates a nucleophilic carbon that can attack an electrophilic carbon (like a parent

spontaneously. Using NMR Spectroscopy and melting point determination of the carbonyl product, the unknown reagents were determined to be p-anisaldehyde and acetone. Techniques such as extraction and washing, gravity and vacuum filtration were used to filter out the impurities from the precipitate and collect the purified product. Proton NMR and melting point determination were methods used to verify the identity of the starting carbonyl compound. To begin with, it is important to recognize the properties

formations with other electrophiles.2, 5 This method consists of four steps consisting of protection of your functional group with a dithiane, metalation, reaction with an electrophile, and finally the removal of the protecting group. first, the carbonyl group is protected with 1,3-propanedithiol, an analog to the protecting reagent 1,3-propanediol, in the presence of an acid. This results in the formation of a 1,3-dithiane. In the next step, the central carbon linking the dithiane and -R group is

this experiment, an aldol condensation reaction will be performed using two different carbonyl compounds to form a beta-hydroxy carbonyl compound. Specifically, acetophenone and p-anisaldehyde will react to form trans-p-anisalacetonphenone. An aldol condensation reaction is an addition reaction that consists of one of the carbonyl compounds being converted into an enol or enolate, and attacking the second carbonyl carbon to form a C-C bond. An enol is a hydrocarbon with a double bond, with an alcohol

Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone In this laboratory experiment a synthesis was performed through several separate steps. The purpose of the experiment was to synthesize tetraphenylcyclopentadienone from benzaldehyde and to run reactions on carbonyl containing compounds. There was a total of three steps that led up to the synthesis of the final product, tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The first step of the experiment was the condensation of benzaldehyde to yield benzoin. Thiamine catalyst

conformation of the purity of experimental benzil, the infrared spectroscopy was observed. . The following functional groups were determined on the infrared spectroscopy according to their corresponding wavenumbers: aromatic, sp2 C-H bonds, and C=O/carbonyl group (Table 4). Benzil incorporates all of the above functional groups. The melting and infrared spectroscopy confirmed that the final product created was Benzil. In the following reaction, benzil was rearranged to from benzilic acid by reacting

The two remaining sp2 hybrid orbitals on oxygen are used to hold oxygen's lone pairs(bruice). O-ethylsaccharin is then less stable because the Ethyl group is attached to the Oxygen that used to be a carbonyl group, giving the Carbon an sp3 configuration (joined to two other carbons, the Oxygen with the Ethyl group and a Hydrogen). This put strain on the ring, and therefore is less stable.”(Richard y.a.). Upon mixing the reactants, sodium saccharin slightly

In order to isolate benzoic acid, benzocaine and 9-fluorenone, each component needed to be separated from one another. All three compounds began together in one culture tube, dissolved in methylene chloride and formed into a homogenous mixture. In this culture tube, two milliliters of aqueous three molar hydrochloric acid was added, which immediately formed two layers, the top acidic aqueous layer was clear in color and contained benzocaine, and the bottom organic formed was yellow and contained

active carbonyl compounds have resulted in the formation of Schiff base compound. This has been reported by Hugo Schiff in 1864. Schiff base compound contain azomethine -C≡N with a general formula RHC=N-R’ where R and R’ are alkyl, aryl, cyclo alkyl or heterocyclic groups which may be variously substituted. These compounds are also known as anils, imines or azomethines (Mishra N. et al, 2013). Structurally, a Schiff base is a nitrogen analogue of an aldehyde or ketone in which the carbonyl group (C=O)
