7) Discussion: In this experiment, the goal is to prepare a Grignard reagent from an unknown aryl halide and identify the identity of the aryl halide by converting it to a carboxylic acid to determine its melting point and molar mass (determined by titration). The experiment began by dissolving 0.25g of magnesium powder in a 25mL round-bottom with 5mL of anhydrous ether and stirring with a stir bar. Then the round-bottom flask was set up for reflux using a Claisen adapter where the vertical part

carbon-magnesium complex is called the “grignard reagent”. This is a non-chain radical mechanism. In this experiment, grignard reagents are prepared. This starts with a halide (usually bromide, or chloride, and rarely iodides). The halide is introduced to the presence of magnesium to thus produce the grignard reagent. The resulting Mg-R complex results in a partially negatively charged carbon, a strong nucleophile. Since the carbon in the final grignard reagent is a very strong nucleophile, the solvent

Grignard Reactions Introduction Grignard reactions are of extreme importance in synthesis of many organic compounds. Because of the extreme nucleophilic tendencies of the Grignard reagent (typically denoted RMgX, where R is an organic nucleophile, and X is a halide), we find that Grignard reagents are extremely useful for the addition of organic fragments. The Grignard reagent’s extreme nucleophilicity can be explained by its unique bonding abilities. Because the carbon-magnesium bond is neither

N-dimethylaniline (aniline) and Magnesium (Mg) in the solvent THF were reacted to form the Grignard reagent. From there, ester methylbenzoate was used, along with HCL to yield Malachite Green. It is important to note that the Grignard reagent is very moisture sensitive. Due to this, it is possible for side reactions to occur. Due to the basicity of the Grignard reagent, any exposure to moisture or water will cause the reagent to deprotonate water and deter from the actual reaction that is desired. Thus, several

Bluestar and luminol are two different reagents that exhibit similar characteristics. The similarities in these reagents make them appear alike and show a common real life application. Therefore, my research paper will offer a comprehensive discussion of the similarities and the differences that exist in these reagents. Their mode of operation will provide a critical part of this paper. Bluestar is an example of a reagent that plays the role of revealing blood washed out or cleaned out from a substance

Introduction: A Grignard reagent is an extremely reactive chemical compound used in the synthesis of hydrocarbons, alcohols, carboxylic acids, and other compounds (1). Grignard reagents have a formula of RMgX, where R is an alkyl or aryl group and X is a halogen. The balanced equation is shown below in Equation 1. 2RMgX  R2Mg + MgX2 Eq. 1 Grignard reagents form on the surface of metals. Most undergo

Side reactions are reactions that compete with one another that produce unwanted products. One of the competing reactions with the Grignard reaction was the Grignard reagent reacting with oxygen to form peroxide which is very reactive. The second most electronegative element is oxygen. The second competing reaction was the Grignard reagent reacting with carbon dioxide to form a carboxylic acid. The carbon dioxide contains an electrophilic carbon. The products from these two side reactions that are problematic

alcohol. Grignard reagents can also be used in important reactions such as in the addition of an excess of a Grignard reagent to an ester to give a tertiary alcohol so that the two alkyl groups are symmetrical. Grignard reagents are formed though the interaction of magnesium metal with alkyl or alkenyl halides. They are extremely good nucleophiles, reacting with electrophiles such as carbonyl compounds, like aldehydes, esters, carbon dioxide, ketones, etc., and epoxides. Grignard reagents are also

Purpose The purpose of the experiment was to observe limiting reactants by using a specific amount of one reagent and a fluctuating amount of another reagent used in a chemical reaction. A graph will be made which will compare the moles of hydrogen gas produced versus the moles of the reagent being varied. The experimental value and the theoretical value will then be compared in order to see how successful the experiment was. Introduction Stoichiometry involves converting chemical formulas and

each solution. When reacting with Lugol’s reagent, a substance containing starch will turn dark blue or black. If a sample is composed of glucose or other monosaccharides, it will turn an orange or red color when mixed with Benedict’s reagent. A sample containing protein turns purple or dark violet when combined with either Biuret’s reagent or ninhydrin. After identifying the colors indicating positive results, we tested each supplement with the four reagents. We took an equal amount of each sample
