Objective The goal of this lab is to synthesize maleic anhydride with polyethylene glycol of 200g/mol molecular weight (PEG 200) and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene to get 4,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride and its diacid by using Diels-Alders reaction and hydrolysis, respectively. The crystals were determined using melting point determination and IR spectroscopy. Chemical Equation Chemical Mechanism Safety Consideration This experiments involves various chemicals that could potentially be lethal if not handle carefully. Short exposure to maleic anhydride could cause serious residual injury. Direct contact must be avoided, and proper safety equipment should be wore while handling. 2, 3-dimethyl-1, 3-butadiene is flammable …show more content…
It can be lost due to incomplete reaction with Hydrochloric acid. Melting point was performed on the product and indicates that the product has the melting point of 201.75 C whereas its literal melting point is 203C, as seen in table 2. The melting point of the product only deviates 1.25 ̊C from the accepted melting point. Even though it is within the acceptable range ±2 ̊C from the acceptable melting point, and it is considerably pure, the diacid product is not as pure as the anhydride product. The impurities might be from the leftover anhydride product from incomplete reaction since the heating was insufficient since the temperature sometime fell below the range of 60-80C during the heating …show more content…
Which is the limiting reagent? Calculate the percent yield for the anhydride. Number of moles of maleic anhydride = 0.3g ma* (1 mol ma)/(98.016g ma) = 0.00306mol ma Number of moles of cyclopentadiene = 0.2g cp* (1 mol cp)/(66.10g cp) = 0.00303mol cp cyclopentadiene is the limiting reagent. Number of moles of cycloadduct anhydride = 0.00303mol cp* (1 mol ca)/(1mol cp) = 0.00303molca Theoretical mass of cycloadduct anhydride = 0.00303mol ca*( 164.2 ca)/(1 mol ca) = 0.498g ca Actual mass of cycloadduct anhydride = 375mg=.375g Percentage yield of cycloadduct anhydride= (Actual mass)/(Theoretical mass)*100= 0.375g/0.498g=75.3% If the hydrolysis to the diacid is not complete, how could you separate the desired diacid from unhydrolyzed anhydride by extraction? If the hydrolysis to the diacid is not complete, one can use the process of acid base extraction by neutrazing the diacid using the base to form two separated layer. Then, after extraction, one can acidified the product to form the solid precipitates, which is the diacid. Complete the following reactions. Indicate the stereochemistry when
The primary goal of this laboratory project was to identify an unknown compound and determine its chemical and physical properties. First the appearance, odor, solubility, and conductivity of the compound were observed and measured so that they could be compared to those of known compounds. Then the cation present in the compound was identified using the flame test. The identity of the anion present in the compound was deduced through a series of chemical tests (Cooper, 2009).
The theoretical weight was 599.6 mg. This yields a percent yield of 3.7%. Table 1 also illustrates the experimental melting point of 99.3-102.1◦C. A melting point that has a range larger than 3◦C is indicative of impurities in the sample. A few possibilities of impurities could have been unreacted norbornene, and water. Evidence that supports that there was unreacted norbornene in the final sample was the fact that the product was a jelly-like structure. Norbornene by itself has a jelly-like structure. However, once norbornene reacted with the acid-catalyst (H2O2), then it should have changed the chemical structure of the molecule and once the solution was brought back down to room temperature, crystals should have formed. Since a jelly-like, or oil-like product was present at the end of the reaction, then this is indicative that there was unreacted norbornene in the sample. The second impurity that may have been present in the final product was water. Instead of adding 3 mL of sodium bicarbonate and then 3 mL of brine, 3 mL of brine was added first and then 3 mL of sodium bicarbonate was added. This experimental error caused excess aqueous solution to be added to the diethyl ether. Since excess water was added to the final product, about 4x the amount of anhydrous sodium sulfate was needed in order to remove the water from the product. This was another indication that there was too much water in
The sole purpose of performing the lab was to utilize aldol condensation reactions to synthesize a cyclopenta-dienone, while using UV spectrophotometry and computer visualization to further understand the dienone. In the beginning of the lab, the tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (TPCP) was synthesized using dibenzyl ketone and benzyl under extremely basic conditions. The synthesis process could be further understood by observing the mechanism portrayed in Figure 1. According to the figure, the dibenzyl ketone will first loose an alpha hydrogen to form the enolate intermediate.

It has a molar volume of 9.38 ×10-6 m3/mol. Molybdenum has an atomic weight of 95.94 amu. Its atomic number is 42. The atomic radius is 145 pm and the covalent radius is 145 pm also. Its electron configuration is [Kr]4d^5 5s^1.
The isomerization procedure was done in order to create dimethyl fumarate from dimethyl maleate. Dimethyl maleate and dimethyl fumarate are cis and trans isomers, respectively. This procedure was done via a free radical mechanism using bromine. The analysis of carvones reaction was done in order to identify the smell and optical rotation of the carvone samples that were provided. The odor was determined by smelling the compound and the optical rotation was determined using a polarimeter.
