agents. An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a formyl group. This functional group‚ with the structure R-CHO‚ consists of a carbonyl center (a carbon double bonded to oxygen) bonded to hydrogen and an R group‚ which is any generic alkyl or side chain. The group without R is called the aldehyde group or formyl group. Aldehydes differ from ketones in that the carbonyl is placed at the end of a carbon skeleton rather than between two carbon atoms. Aldehydes are common in organic chemistry. Many

Organic Lab 2 February 14‚ 2009 Experiment 4: Borohydride Reduction of 2-Methylcyclohexanone Introduction: When learning about reduction reactions‚ we know that the addition of nucleophilic hydride anion (H-) to the carbonyl group will in turn result in the reduction of aldehydes to primary alcohols. Borohydride‚ and Lithuim aluminum hydride are commonly used as reducing agents. We can note that both of these reagents have a (H-) anion‚ hence it will be a powerful base and also take the

Isolation & Identification of the Major Constituent of Clove Oil with Steam Distillation The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to isolate and characterize clove oil in order to understand how to isolate organic compounds with high boiling points‚ how to perform and interpret qualitative tests for organic compound functionality‚ and to continue to learn how to perform and interpret IR spectrometry. Steam distillation was used in order to prevent the organic compound from decomposing

reacts with palladium‚ a shift of about 65 cm-1 in the carbonyl stretch was observed. Introduction: In this experiment‚ trans-[Bis(inosinato)palladium(II)]‚ was synthesized. The general reaction equation for the reaction is shown below: KOH (1) K2[PdCl4] + 2 inosine trans-[Pd(inosine-H+)2] + 2KCl + 2HCl The IR spectrum of the product and inosine was analyzed to compare the location of the carbonyl bond when inosine interacts with a metal such as palladium

a 1‚4 addition of a nucleophile to an alpha‚ beta-unsaturated carbonyl carbon compound. A 1‚4 addition is also commonly referred to as a conjugated addition. Another result of this reaction is a 1‚2 addition of a nucleophile. Some of the common attacking nucleophiles used in this reaction are enolates. Enolates‚ a negatively charged oxygen with an adjacent carbon-carbon double bond‚ will react with the alpha‚ beta-unsaturated carbonyl carbon. Other common reagents used are sodium hydroxide and potassium

nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon of the ketone‚ benzophenone. The result is an alkoxide that is then protonated to give the alcohol‚ triphenylmethanol. The purity of the final product will then be considered by melting point and IR spectroscopy. Final purified triphenylmethanol weighed 8.02 grams and melted at 158.5-162 degrees Celsius. Introduction: Grignard reagents are the most useful way to form primary‚ secondary or tertiary alcohols from a carbonyl group. The Grignard reaction

Analysis of Oxygen bearing Organic compounds Abstract The Unknown sample in the experiment can be tested to yield results such as 1° (primary)‚ 2° (secondary)‚ 3° (tertiary) alcohols. Tests such as the dichromate test‚ Tollen’s test‚ Lucas test‚ DNPH test and iodoform test would be very useful in determining the type of alcohol that the unknown sample belongs to. In the experiment‚ the unknown sample underwent series of testing to identify what property of alcohol it belonged to and the result

The IR spectrum shows a strong peak at 1740 cm-1 representing a carbonyl compound‚ which was concluded to be a ketone by the 2‚4-DNP test and the deshielded peak at 218.4 ppm in the 13C NMR spectrum. The product of the reduction reaction was isoborneol (0.1591 g). The IR spectrum indicates a medium‚ broad peak from 3000-3500
