interconversion of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol and 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone. The purpose of first week was to explore the oxidation of an alcohol to a ketone and see how the reduction of the ketone will affect the stereoselectivity. The purpose of first week is to oxidize the alcohol, 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol, to ketone just so that it can be reduced back into the alcohol to see how OH will react. The purpose of second week was to reduce 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol from first week and determine the effect
1. Introduction Heterocyclic chemistry is the branch of chemistry dealing with the synthesis, properties and applications of heterocycles. The name comes from the greek word “heteros” which means “different”. Any of a class of organic compounds whose molecules contain one or more rings of atoms with at least one atom (the heteroatom) being an element other than carbon, most frequently oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur [1]. The most common heterocycles are classified in aliphatic and aromatic molecule.

Introduction: We all have seen how Alcohol has had a sizeable impact on sporting events. Sporting events such as the Heineken Cup In Rugby, The Guinness Autumn Rugby Internationals, and The Hennessy Brandy Gold Cup. The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was called the Guinness Hurling Championship when Guinness was the main sponsor between 1995 and 2008. In England Liverpool FC were sponsored by Carlsberg and Heineken also sponsor the Champions League. These are just some brands that have
is familiar with the fruity scents at their local grocery store. Many of these scents are esters. Most of the aromas we know represent a mixture of esters and other molecules like alcohol. The process of making ester is known as esterification. Esters are formed carboxylic acid and a carboxylic acid reacts with alcohol, water is also produced from this reaction. Carboxylic acid contains the –COOH group (Jim Clark, 2003) The general formula for esterification is O O ||
parents who allow teens to experiment with alcohol in a controlled setting with experienced adults. Alcohol consumption should be the decision of a well informed adult. Alcohol should not be regarded as such an unsettling topic when encounters with alcohol are inevitable and prevalent in our daily lives. As a result of harsh restrictions placed on alcohol by our government parents are not only discouraged to inform both negative and positive attributes of alcohol, but they are also looked down upon for

prevention campaigns and research, alcohol and drug use among adolescents still remains a problem today. There has been a myriad of research done on adolescent alcohol and other drug use regarding a plethora of theoretical standpoints that consistently shows that having friends who use alcohol or other drugs is an important factor in whether or not teens will use and to what extent.

A staggering 80% of college students consume alcohol and around half of those students are frequent binge drinkers (“College Drinking”). The excessive consumption of alcohol has became a widespread issue at universities nationwide, causing many people to wonder where the problem got its roots.

Excessive drinkers who are not alcoholics risk suffering from long-term health conditions, such as liver
determine which of the 3 compounds was formed from the starting material. The third compound was the oxidation of both alcohols. This could not have been my product because of the results of my IR. I had a broad large absorption is the range of 3200 to 3500 wavenumbers. This indicates the presence of an alcohol. If my compound had been fully oxidized then there would be no such alcohol present. Also, because of my IR, I know that my compound was one of the other 2 compounds because of the strong sharp
Comparing the Enthalpy Changes of Combustion of Different Alcohols Introduction In this investigation I will set out to find the differences in the enthalpies of combustion of 6 different alcohols. These are methanol, ethanol, butan-2-ol, propan-1-ol, propan-2-ol and 2Methylpropan-1-ol. I can then find the variation between straight chain and branched molecules and isomers. Planning -------- Method ------ Carrying Out The Experiment To carry out the experiment, I will fill
