Paracetamol – Synthesis and Uses Discovered in 1877 by Harmon Northrop Morse at the John Hopkins University, Paracetamol was one of several aniline deriviatives that was found to have analgesic and antipyretic properties (Brodie 23). It was first synthesized by the reduction of p-nitrophenol with tin in glacial acetic acid; however was not used classified as a medication until ten year later (Bertolini 264). Initially, phenacetin, a closely related compound that exhibited similar physiological
1-What is the physiological role of histamine? Histamine is a biogenic amine involved in local immune responses as well as regulating physiological function in the gut and acting as a neurotransmitter. Histamine triggers the inflammatory response. It increases the permeability of the capillaries to white blood cells and other proteins, in order to allow them to engage foreign invaders in the affected tissues. It is found in virtually all animal body cells 2-How is histamine synthesised within the
Experiment 02: Synthesis and characterisation of Benzocaine Introduction Benzocaine is described and used in the industry as local external anaesthetic; it is constructed of a white crystalline powder. The advantage of anaesthetics such as benzocaine is the action can be reversible where the use is followed by a completed recovery of the tissue with no potential permanent damage being caused. Aim The purpose of conducting this experiment was to synthesise and characterise for the preparation
Condensation Polymerization Monomers that are combined by condensation polymerization have two functional groups. A carboxylic acid and an amine can form an amide linkage, and a carboxylic acid and an alcohol can construct an ester linkage. So as each monomer has two reactive sites, they can form long chain polymers by making multiple amide or ester links and releasing a small molecule. Examples of the mentioned mechanism are illustrated below. Example
= 5%. A comparison of the experimental value for the equivalent weight of sebacic acid yields an error of 2.5%, determined by the following calculation: (101-98)/101x100% = 2.5%. A comparison of the experimental value for the melting point of the amide derivative of sebacic acid yields an error of 0%. This was determined by the following calculation (168-168)/168x100%=0. On average, the error inherent to the total project was 2.5%. In the future, it would be desirable to further support the identification

Goal of Bioplastic Production * To Save Resources by either reducing the production of standard Polypropylene plastics by replacing it with a less resource-intensive
Stephanie Kwolek was the first to discover and synthesize Kevlar in 1964 at the laboratories in Wilmington. In 1950, Kwolek specialized in creating a solid gas based fibers. She was successful in creating the first monomer that is used to manufacture polybenzamide. From this unstable process that can only stay for a while and this result in acceptable solvent that all allow too be in low temperature polymer. When it is placed in the required state conditions, the polymer will become liquid substance
covalent bonds in the nitro group are then weakened and are vulnerable to be attacked by hydrogen. The final step is the formation of an amide. Most amines undergo reactions with anhydrides to produces amides. 4-aminophenol is suspended in water at room temperature and reacts readily with ethanoic anhydride, which is an acetic anhydride, producing a precipitate of the amide, which is the acetaminophen. (“Paracetamol
They are either all aliphatic or aromatic. The aromatic polyamides known as aramids, have better solvent, flame and heat resistance, greater dimensional stability and higher strength, than the all aliphatic amides but a lot of pricey and tougher to produce. The two most important aromatic amides are poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide), called as Kevlar, and poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide). The fully aromatic structure and the hydrogon bonds between the aramid chains leads to high melting points, generally
Interpretation • Referred to table 9 Paracetamol: 1.Amide: contains nitrogen and carbonyl so it’s hydrophilic.2. Hydroxyl: hydrophilic because of the presence of Oxygen that can H-bond with water.3.benzene ring: lipophilic because of non-polar hydrocarbon ring. 4. Methyl is lipophilic because of the nonpolar hydrocarbon group. Aspirin: 1. Carboxylic acid: Oxygen that’s polar which can H-bond with water. 2. Ester: lipophilic because it is non polar although it has oxygen. 3. Benzene: lipophilic because
local anaesthetics are administered into the vein or artery it results to very high systemic levels possibly causing CNS and CV toxicity due to rapid penetration into these regions. Both bupivacaine and ropivacaine are amide linked esters. They are extensively bound in the plasma. Amides extensively bind to the alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AAG) with ~94% ropivacaine bound to it; it has a higher affinity even though albumin binds to greater amount due to its relative abundance in the human plasma. AAG concentration
“artificial silk,” it is not a truly synthetic fiber, as it is made from wood pulp, a naturally-occurring, cellulose-based material. Nylon, however, is a synthetic fiber. It is a polyamide whose molecular chains are formed by regularly spaced –CONH– amide groups. Nylon 6-6, or poly(hexamethylneadipamide), is composed of two structural monomers (hexamethylendiamine (H2N(CH2)6NH2) and adipic acid (HOOC(CH2)4COOH), whereas Nylon 6, or poly(6-caprolactam), is composed of a single structural unit (either
Polyamides I researched polyamides, polyamides are a type of macromolecule that have repeating units linked by amide bonds. Polyamides are a general category of Polymers and the most common example of them are Nylons and Kevlars so nothing is just a polyamide it will be a certain type. The monomer unit, a molecule that is bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer, for polyamides the monomer unit varies due to the fact they can easily copolymerize, which is when two or more different monomers
N.B.: R refers to an electron-donating alkyl group. Aliphatic amines are more basic than phenylamines and phenylamines are more basic than amides. For aliphatic amines, the more R groups present, the stronger is the electron donating inductive effect. Thus, a tertiary amine is expected to be the most basic among the aliphatic amines. However, it isn’t. A tertiary amine is less basic than a
the material. Kevlar is very similar to other common synthetic polymers, including Nylon, Teflon and Lycra. In all Polated to strength. Aromatic refers to the Carbon atoms attached in a ring, and Amides refers to a group of Carbon, Nitrogen and Hydrogen atoms. Kevlar fiber is therefore a “Polyaromatic amide”, as it has a high breaking strength. Polymer chains are long, individual chains, although they behave as if they are attached to each other. The individual chains are actually held together by
Ap Biology Final Project Light years away in a distant galaxy, there is a planet. Not a planet anything like our own, but much larger, approximately eleven times larger than our own making, it is closer in size to that of Jupiter. The name of this planet is Kronos. Since Kronos is so much larger than our Earth it has an atmosphere that is very close to the surface of the planet, this is true because the law of universal gravitation tells us that as the masses of two objects increase the distance
Medicinal or Pharmaceutical Chemistry is a scientific discipline at the intersection of chemistry and pharmacology involved with designing, synthesizing and developing pharmaceutical drugs. Medicinal chemistry involves the identification, syntheses and development of new chemical entities suitable for therapeutic use. The majority of the therapeutic agents are heterocyclic compounds; hence heterocyclic chemistry has become the most prolific area for drug discovery. Based upon the fact, the present
