Recommended: Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC

Liquid state NMR (1H, 13C and 29Si NMR) spectra for the precursors and condensed soluble materials were recorded in CDCl3 as a solvent on a Bruker DRX-500 MHz spectrometer, with TMS as the reference. Solid-state 29Si NMR spectra were recorded on a AV-400 Bruker spectrometer at 59.627 MHz. The use of the high power decoupling (hpdec) method of direct polarization enabled a quantitative integration. The peak positions were referenced to the signal of Q8M8 (trimethylsilyl ester of cubic octameric silicate) standard.
Phase transitions of polymers were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique (DuPont 2000 thermal analysis system). Thermograms were taken for samples (sealed in aluminium pans) quenched rapidly from the melt (room temperature) and then heated at the rate of 10 K/min from 118 K to 323 K. The sample was kept at 323 K for 3 min to destroy any thermal history. Subsequently, it was quenched to 118 K and heated again at 10 K/min. Thermogravimetric measurements were performed by use of a Hi-Res TGA 2950 Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TA Instruments) in nitrogen atm...

  • Diels Alder Reaction

    496 Words  | 1 Pages

    The percent yield of products that was calculated for this reaction was about 81.2%, fairly less pure than the previous product but still decently pure. A carbon NMR and H NMR were produced and used to identify the inequivalent carbons and hydrogens of the product. There were 9 constitutionally inequivalent carbons and potentially 4,5, or 6 constitutionally inequivalent hydrogens. On the H NMR there are 5 peaks, but at a closer inspection of the product, it seems there is only 4 constitutionally inequivalent hydrogens because of the symmetry held by the product and of this H’s. However, expansion of the peaks around the aromatic region on the NMR show 3 peaks, which was suppose to be only 2 peaks. In between the peaks is a peak from the solvent, xylene, that was used, which may account to for this discrepancy in the NMR. Furthermore, the product may have not been fully dissolved or was contaminated, leading to distortion (a splitting) of the peaks. The 2 peaks further down the spectrum were distinguished from two H’s, HF and HE, based off of shielding affects. The HF was closer to the O, so it experienced more of an up field shift than HE. On the C NMR, there are 9 constitutionally inequivalent carbons. A CNMR Peak Position for Typical Functional Group table was consulted to assign the carbons to their corresponding peaks. The carbonyl carbon, C1, is the farthest up field, while the carbons on the benzene ring are in the 120-140 ppm region. The sp3 hybridized carbon, C2 and C3, are the lowest on the spectrum. This reaction verifies the statement, ”Measurements have shown that while naphthalene and benzene both are considered especially stable due to their aromaticity, benzene is significantly more stable than naphthalene.” As seen in the reaction, the benzene ring is left untouched and only the naphthalene is involved in the reaction with maleic

    In a separate beaker, acetone (0.587 mL, 8 mmol) and benzaldehyde (1.63 mL, 16 mmol) were charged with a stir bar and stirred on a magnetic stirrer. The beaker mixture was slowly added to the Erlenmeyer flask and stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Every 10 minutes, a small amount of the reaction mixture was spotted on a TLC plate, with an eluent mixture of ethyl acetate (2 mL) and hexanes (8 mL), to monitor the decrease in benzaldehyde via a UV light. When the reaction was complete, it was chilled in an ice bath until the product precipitated, which was then vacuum filtrated. The filter cake was washed with ice-cold 95% ethanol (2 x 10 mL) and 4% acetic acid in 95% ethanol (10 mL). The solid was fluffed and vacuum filtrated for about 15 minutes. The 0.688 g (2.9 mmol, 36.8%, 111.3-112.8 °C) product was analyzed via FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopies, and the melting point was obtained via

  • Analysis Of Isopentyl Acetate

    903 Words  | 2 Pages

    The C-H (sp3) hydrogens from our product displayed at wavelength 2959 cm-1 correlates to the methyl groups located on the ends of isopentyl acetate4. A really prominent, strong peak located at 1742 cm-1 shows that a C=O ester stretch is located in the product, along with at 1244 cm-1 the spectrum shows a strong peak representing the C(=O)-O stretch that is crucial to the structure of isopentyl acetate. Shown in my IR spectrum is a weak O-H (H-bonded) peak at 3464 cm-1 which shows that I have an impurity of isopentyl alcohol in my product. Isopentyl alcohol has similar boiling points and density as my product so the impurity could have easily boiled out with the isopentyl acetate during distillation. The isopentyl alcohol was also present in my 1H-NMR spectrum backing up the impurity peak at 3464

    Nano-thermal analysis methods are also known as micro-thermal procedures and they use the principle of characterizing highly localized materials on a micrometer. The characterization is then changed from a micrometer scale to a sub-micrometer scale with the temperature being regulated to the specified units. The application of nano-thermal analysis methods started towards the end of the 20th century. Although it has been applied in several other fields including microelectronics, its application in pharmaceuticals has not been that popular.

  • Ionic Liquids: An Introduction To Ionic Liquids

    1843 Words  | 4 Pages

    Ionic liquids (ILs) are liquids composed entirely of ions. Molten salt is the term normally reserved for those systems that are liquid at high temperatures, for example NaCl (table salt is a liquid at ≈ 800 0C). Room-temperature ILs are liquid below 100˚C, have received considerable attention as substitutes for volatile organic solvents. Due to their remarkable properties, such as negligible vapour pressure, large liquidous range, high thermal stability, good ionic conductivity, high electrochemical stability, they are considered favourable medium candidates for chemical syntheses. ILs are usually categorized into four types based on their cation segment: 1) alkylammonium-, 2) dialkylimidazolium-, 3) phosphonium- and 4) N-alkylpyridiniumbased ILs (Figure 1). Ionic liquids are generally composed of a bulky organic cation, such 1-butyl-3 methylimidazolium and typically an inorganic anion such as a halide. Below are the chemical structures of some common cations and anions used to make ILs.

    The reaction of (-)-α-phellandrene, 1, and maleic anhydride, 2, gave a Diels-Alder adduct, 4,​7-​ethanoisobenzofuran-​1,​3-​dione, 3a,​4,​7,​7a-​tetrahydro-​5-​methyl-​8-​(1-​methylethyl), 3, this reaction gave white crystals in a yield of 2.64 g (37.56%). Both hydrogen and carbon NMR as well as NOESY, COSY and HSQC spectrum were used to prove that 3 had formed. These spectroscopic techniques also aided in the identification of whether the process was attack via the top of bottom face, as well as if this reaction was via the endo or exo process. These possible attacks give rise to four possible products, however, in reality due to steric interactions and electronics only one product is formed.

    The purpose of this experiment is to determine the absolute configuration of an unknown chiral secondary alcohol using the competing enantioselective conversion (CEC) method. This method uses both R- and S- enantiomers of a chiral acyl-transfer catalyst called homobenzotetramisole (HBTM), in separate parallel reactions, and thin layer chromatography to identify the stereochemistry of the secondary alcohol, 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.

  • Surface Chemistry of Silica

    1273 Words  | 3 Pages

    Fundamental studies by Stober [ ], Meyer and Heckerman [ ] , and Bering and Serpinskii [ ] indicate that silica surface consists of siloxane network in the bulk, while the hydroxyl groups are attached onto silicon atoms. However these groups are not equivalent in their adsorption or reaction behavior. Fig 1a represents a general arrangement on a silica surface. Belyakova et al. identifies that the number of hydroxyl (Silanol) group on different type of silica surfaces are same i.e. 4 -5 SiOH groups per nm2. Lange [ ] identifies that water associates with these silanol groups in two ways, by hydrogen bonding or by physically adsorbed. Dalton and Iler [ ] states that there is at least a monolyer of water immobilized on silanol groups due to hydrogen bonding, this “glassy layer” protects underlying silica network from foreign molecules. Klier and Zettlemoyer [ ] indicates that water sat “oxygen down” on silanol groups. De Boer and Vleeskens [ ] argued that around 120 oC in ambient air silica looses adsorbed water unless it is present in micropores which would otherwise tak...

  • Crystallization Of Fluorene

    1006 Words  | 3 Pages

    In order to separate the mixture of fluorene, o-toluic acid, and 1, 4-dibromobenzene, the previously learned techniques of extraction and crystallization are needed to perform the experiment. First, 10.0 mL of diethyl ether would be added to the mixture in a centrifuge tube (1) and shaken until the mixture completely dissolved (2). Diethyl ether is the best solvent for dissolving the mixture, because though it is a polar molecule, its ethyl groups make it a nonpolar solvent. The compounds, fluorene and 1, 4-dibromobenzene, are also nonpolar; therefore, it would be easier for it to be dissolved in this organic solvent.

    The solvent should be easily removed from the purified product, not react with the target substances, and should only dissolve the target substance near it’s boiling point, but none at freezing. A successful recrystallization uses minimum amount of solvent, and cools the solution slowly, if done to fast, many impurities will be left in the crystals. Using the correct solvent, in this case ice water and ethyl acetate, the impurities in the compound can be dissolved to obtain just the pure compound. A mixed solvent was used to control the solubility of the product. The product is soluble in ethanol an insoluble in water. Adding water reduced solubility and saturates the solution and then the crystals

  • What Is Solid Fat Content Of A Fat And Oil?

    863 Words  | 2 Pages

    Polymorphism is the ability of a compound to exist in more than one crystalline form. Fats and oils possess three typical polymorphic forms  (alpha), β′ (beta prime) and β (beta). Each form varies in their crystalline structure, free energy and other physical and chemical properties but their chemical composition remain same. The polymorphism is primarily important in baked products because consistency, plasticity and other physical properties depend on polymorphic forms which are formed during processing of food product. Each polymorphic form of same fat has its characteristic melting point, resolidification point, heat of crystallization, specific volume and X-Ray spacing. Each form has different morphology and they may be dense, opaque crystals or transparent crystals. Physical properties of fats and oils are greatly influenced by polymorphism. Table 4 summaries the physical properties of three typical polymorphic forms of fats and

    1-Butanol with intermediate polarity was soluble in both highly polar water and non polar hexane as 1-butanol can be either polar or non polar compound. 1-Butanol was polar based on the general rule of thumb stated that each polar group will allow up to 4 carbons to be soluble in water. Also, 1-butanol can be non polar due to their carbon chains, which are attracted to the non polarity of the hexane.

    Thermal properties of material (Tg, Tm, Td) are those properties that response to temperature. They can be studied by thermal analysis techniques including DSC, TGA, DTA and dielectric thermal analysis. The nanometer-sized of inorganic particles incorporated into the polymer matrix can improve thermal stability by acting as a superior thermal insulator and as a mass transport barrier to the volatile products generated during decomposition [117]. Khanna et al. [57] reported the thermal (TGA) analysis of the PVA/Ag nanocomposite. They observed that the decomposition profile starting at about 330 ◦C and continuing till about 430 ◦C. They also found the PVA/Ag nanocomposites have higher thermal stability than the PVA alone. Mbhele et al. [99] also observed that that the pure PVA starts decomposing at about 280 ◦C and
