    Organic chemistry is the complexity of natural compounds. It is applied to the production of mundane objects that include: plastics, polymers, soaps, detergents and drugs. Such compounds of organic chemistry involve the identification, modelling, chemical reactions and synthesis – it initiates the concept of design implemented in organic compounds (Helmenstine A, 2014). An example of an organic compound is the product of organic drugs in which are manipulated behind the chemistry of its design. A

    were prepared. Their melting points were obtained and compared to those listed in the Table of Aldehyde & Ketone Derivatives. From this the unknown sample was identified. As additional aid a Benedict’s test and Iodoform test were used. These are functional group tests used for distinguishing between aldehydes, ketones and methyl ketones. A Benedict’s test tests positive for aliphatic aldehydes and negative for aromatic aldehydes and ketones. An Iodoform test tests positive for methyl ketones and acetaldehyde

    two separate functional groups. Pantanal comes from the functional group Aldehydes which are an organic compound containing a Carbonyl functional group and is attached to Hydrogen and one R group. On the other hand 1-Pentanol comes from the Alcohol group, which is also an organic compound which is Hydroxyl functional group with the basic structure of (R-OH). 1-Pentanol has a boiling point of about 138C which is much greater than the Pentanal with 102C which caused by having OH polar group and it also

    is the chemistry of carbon compounds. It deals with the structure, properties and reactions of compounds that contain carbon and includes those from nature as well as synthetic compounds. Through the modification of a molecule’s structure and functional groups, new molecules can be created such as in the manufacture of plastics, polymers, fuels, soaps, detergents, drugs and medicines. These, if carefully designed, have important properties for the improvement of mankind. One such example of manipulating

    from tertiary alcohols through a transformation similar to a Sn2 reaction. This could make it easier to synthesize natural products that have anticancer, antimalarial, or antifungal properties. In a Sn2 reaction, a nucleophile displaces a leaving group so that the substrate’s stereochemistry is flipped. The structural flip could change a compound’s chemical properties. This cannot take place on tertiary carbons because triply substituted carbon electrophiles are too crowded for the Sn2 reaction’s

    benzaldehyde, but purity was assumed and therefore melting point was not taken. Benzaldehyde is a simple aromatic compound with a aldehyde group; therefore, expected peaks are the aromatic ring constituents, C=O bond representative of aldehydes, and C-H bonds representative of aldehydes. According to the expected literature values in place for this functional groups, benzaldehyde was sufficiently pure, containing all the correct values. With the correct IR spectrograph available, all following IR samplings

    and pharmacological activity Carboxylic acid is organic chemical compound that contain a functional group that is carboxyl group –COOH which is made of hydroxyl group and carbonyl group both attached to the same carbon which is attached to hydrogen atom or alkyl group thus the general formula of the carboxylic acid is R–COOH with R represent alkyl group or a hydrogen atom. Carboxylic acid functional group is partly ionized in solution so it is a weak acid, however it's acidity is considered as the

    p-aminophenol and polarity of water was essential to create acetaminophen. Originally, the experiment did not turn as planned because the temperature was set above 100 ℃ and the solution was evaporated. The experiment was conducted again with another group. The vial was then placed in an ice bath while before it was poured down the Hirsch funnel and rinse the vial with 0.5 mL of cold to the pour the remaining crystals into the

The process of joining macromolecule monomers together is a chemical reaction called dehydration synthesis, or also known as a condensation reaction. The functional groups of a macromolecule are reacted together to form various types of bonds, and produce water
