whether it be an R- or S- enantiomer. Quantitative analysis was performed using a program called ImageJ after the appropriate picture was taken of the stained TLC plate. The molecular structure of the unknown alcohol was identified using 1H NMR spectroscopy by matching the hydrogens to the corresponding peak. Theory: The competing enantioselective conversion method uses each enantiomer of a kinetic resolution reagent, in this case R-HBTM and S-HBTM, in separate and parallel reactions, where the
If the solid dissolved, it was placed in the ice bath and if crystals were observed coming out of the solution then the suitable solvent was found. The suitable solvent was water as the crystals came out once placed in the ice bath. The The obtained NMR spectra was very similar to that of the predicted results. The methyl hydrogen group had a single peak at 2.153 ppm. The results were a little off from the predicted shift of 2.2 – 2.9 ppm but not by much. Next in the spectra, were the hydrogens in
Beginning Question: How effectively and efficiently can biphenyl be synthesized by a Suzuki coupling reaction? Claims: Biphenyl synthesized by a Suzuki coupling reaction was effectively isolated and then characterized using TLC, melting point, IR and 1H NMR tests. However, this process was not efficient because it had a poor pure yield of 22%. Evidence: The goal of the experiment was to synthesize biphenyl product by a Microwave-assisted Suzuki reaction and this was carried out using 1 equivalent bromobenzene
Discussion: The synthesised ethyl cinnamate weighed 0.56 g, which was equivalent to 140% of the theoretical yield of 0.414 g. This excessive yield was resultant of the impurities within the product, where the solvents, particularly the dichloromethane, were not sufficiently removed from the product. In figure 3, the peak at 5.22 ppm with a normalised intensity of 1.00 evidenced the significant proportion of the dichloromethane in the product, and the peak at 0.88 ppm with a normalised intensity of
In infrared (IR) spectroscopy, infrared light interacts with molecules of the substance. The collected data is used to determine the substance. Infrared light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum and contains longer wavelengths than visible light. In this type of spectroscopy, an IR beam passes through the sample substance. Consequently, the covalent bonds absorbs the beam, thus this causes a change in the vibrations of the dipole moment in the substance. This spectroscopy is primarily used
Asha Kurup April 3rd, 2014 IR Spectroscopy Assignment A. What is spectroscopy and how does it work? Spectroscopy is a term for analyzing spectra. The spectra may be visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, X-ray, and other types1. When a beam of light hits a triangular prism, it is separated into its components (ROYGBIV). Figure 1: Components of Light Spectroscopy is measured using a spectrophotometer. A beam of light is first pointed towards the spectrophotometer. The beam of light then strikes
Spectroscopy is the analogy between radiated energy, a source of matter and helps with the study of colours. Spectroscopy allows us to see how atoms emit and absorb electromagnetic radiation. Typically these measures are known to be a spectroscope. It allows us to measure how light is emitted, scattered or absorbed by a source of material. In addition the importance of spectroscopy is that it allows us to identify study and quantify a source of material. The different colour spectrum for light includes
was very successful. Although the recovery percentage is small (8.07%), but the fact is that is alkaloids represent 9% of the total mass of the pepper, doesn’t appear to be a big deal . In addition, the NMR was helpful in identifying different hydrogens but with uncertainty. That’s why a 400 NMR was needed. To improve the results in the future, a nitrogen stream should be used to dry the product to eliminate any H2O contaminant. Also, an increase in the time of the refluxing process would produce
Drugs are a included in many of the criminal justice cases in the US so the need to have well trained analysts is important as well as having correct equipment and tests to analysis the drugs properly. There are Scientific Working Groups for many of the different disciplines of forensic science, including drugs. The NAS Report has recently come out taking about what changes should be made in the forensic science arena. There is an every multiplying amount of drugs in the world because new ones
Vibrational spectroscopy is a term used to describe the analytical techniques Infrared and Raman spectroscopy. These two techniques are tools used to provide information about the molecular composition, structure and interactions with a sample. Both techniques are non-destructive, qualitative and rapid. They measure the vibrational energy levels that are affiliated with the chemical bonds in a sample. IR and Raman spectra are complementary to each other and provide scientists with images of vibrations
Spectroscopy Spectroscopy is the study of energy levels in atoms or molecules, using absorbed or emitted electromagnetic radiation. There are many categories of spectroscopy eg. Atomic and infrared spectroscopy, which have numerous uses and are essential in the world of science. When investigating spectroscopy four parameters have to be considered; spectral range, spectral bandwidth, spectral sampling and signal-to-noise ratio, as they describe the capability of a spectrometer. In the world
Introduction When white light passes through a prism, it forms a continuous spectrum of colors found in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The color of the compound is a blend of wavelengths that are transmitted and not absorbed by the sample. Beer- Lambert’s Law is applied in order determine the concentration of a colored species in solution. The concentration of the colored species is directly proportional to it absorbance at a wavelength. A= εbc which A is the absorbance, ε is
measured and each cream was subjected to near-infrared (NIR) absorption spectroscopy and sensory testing. The yield value was calculated based on measured flattening and was 734.8 dynes/cm2 for MCZ-A, 1198.9 dynes/cm2 for MCZ-B, 461.3 dynes/cm2 for MCZ-C, and 3112.3 dynes/cm2 for MCZ-D. Measurement of viscoelasticity and viscosity revealed that MCZ-C had a smaller tanδ than the other 3 creams at 25ºC. NIR absorption spectroscopy revealed that MCZ-A had the highest absorption peak due to hydroxyl groups
Bleach can be used to remove color from another substance or clean the water that we, humans, drink everyday. Even though bleach is very helpful and commonly used in our environment, it is also very reactive and unstable if it is not used correctly. For my experiment, I will be making an electronic device that will function as a colorimeter. Using the colorimeter, I will measure the concentration of blue dye in sports drinks, and find the rate at which blue dye disappears when it is mixed with bleach
This study demonstrates a facile, one−pot preparation of casein hydrolytic peptides (CHPs)–conjugated crystalline AuNPs having average core size about 20 ±10 nm and morphology found to be hexagonal shaped. The CHPs are competent to form the monolayer on the AuNPs surface resulting electrostatic interparticles interaction, and plays an important role in stability for long periods of time (12 months). The X−ray photoelectron (XPS) spectrum, showed a strong peak for the pure ‘Au’ phase. The FTIR spectrum

Analytical Chemistry Analytical Chemistry is the branch of chemistry principally concerned with determining the chemical composition of materials, which may be solids, liquids, gases, pure elements, compounds, or complex mixtures. In addition, chemical analysis can characterize materials but determining their molecular structures and measuring such physical properties as pH, color, and solubility. Wet analysis involves the studying of substances that have been submerged in a solution and microanalysis
authenticity or lack thereof of the map. Recent research has used several chemical analyses which have examined specifically the paper and the ink present on the map. The most recent methods used to test the map have been carbon dating and Raman spectroscopy. It is thought that the map was written on paper which has origins in pre-Columbus days. However, several analyses of the ink have revealed the presence of anatase, a form of TiO 2, which was not developed until the first part of the 20 th Century
After predicting the stretches, we obtained the actual compound and ran an IR spectrum in order to observe the frequencies. However, the compound had to be placed in a bolt and tightened before the IR spectrum could be run. An infrared spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy) is based on
The word photography comes from two ancient Greek words: photo, for "light," and graph, for "drawing." "Drawing with light" is a way of describing photography. When a photograph is made, light or some other form of radiant energy, such as X rays, is used to record a picture of an object or scene on a light-sensitive surface. Early photographs were called sun pictures, because sunlight itself was used to create the image. With the invention of photography, a realistic image that would have taken a
