The Diels-Alder reaction, an electrocyclic reaction between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene, also known as a dienophile, was used in the experiment. The purpose was to synthesize a substituted cyclohexene derivate by the reaction between the diene and dienophile, and it reacted in a reflux solution with toluene as the solvent forming an unsaturated six-membered ring. First, approximately 54 mg each of both compounds, tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (TPCPD) and diphenylacetylene (DPA), were placed in a reaction tube to be mixed and heated on a sand bath for several minutes. During the heating process, the color of the TPCPD reactant would fade as the color went from purple to white showing the other reactant. Also during the heating, DPA refluxed for a brief time until the tube was removed from the sand bath for the melted product to cool and solidify. Then, 0.25mL of diphenyl ether was added to the tube and it was …show more content…
Their presence affects the reactivity and stability of dienes and dienophiles in the Diels-Alder reaction, making them more open. However, it allows the diene to reduce energy to produce a more stable cyclic product, but dienes with a low ring strain reduce reactivity in the reaction. Hexaphenylbenzene undergoes “ring closure” to form a new benzene ring. Ring closure is a reaction in which an open chain of atoms is closed to form a ring. The process includes breaking one of the carbon double bonds in the phenyl group and creating a new bond between the carbon atoms of the neighboring group, resulting in the hexaphenylbenzene creating a new ring. When tetraphenylcyclopentadienone reacts with diphenylacetylene, the reaction includes forming carbon monoxide (CO). The metal carbonyl complex is formed during the process with CO in the middle, resulting in the carbon-oxygen bond weakening and CO gas released as a reaction
Grignard is a reaction that is crucial to forming the new carbon-carbon bond. This is a two-part lab that teaches new techniques; the purpose of this lab is to introduce realistic organic synthesis and apply acid workup to produce triphenylmethanol. A Grignard reaction is characterized by the addition of a magnesium halide (an organomagnesium halide) to an aldehyde or a ketone in order to form a secondary or tertiary alcohol. These reactions are helpful because they serve as a crucial tool in performing important carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions (Arizona State University, 2018). This experiment aimed to observe the mechanisms of a Grignard reply to synthesize triphenylmethanol from benzophenone using phenylmagnesium bromide as the Grignard reagent.
Therefore, the selective hydrogenation of Carbon dioxide to produce methanol requires the preservation of the chemical structure of CO2, specifically the C= O bond, to achieve high selectivity and efficiency of methanol production. 6. (1 point each) Table 1 describes some initial (before testing) and spent (after testing) properties of the
The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel, separated into an organic layer and water layer, and then drained. The water layer was washed twice with 10 mL of hexane. The organic layer was dried
the help of the enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase ( PI ) this reaction occurs involving an isomerization reaction. This reaction includes the rearrangement of the the carbon-oxygen bond to transform the six membered ring. Rearrangement takes place when the six membered ring opens and then closes in such a way that the first carbon becomes now external to the
Chem 51LB Report Ngoc Tran - Student ID # 72048507 The purpose of this lab is to examine the composition of three components of gas products of elimination reaction under acidic condition by conducting the dehydration of primary and secondary alcohol, and under basic condition by conducting the base-induced dehydrobromination of 1-bromobutane and 2-bromobutane. Then gas chromatography is used to analyze the composition of the product mixtures. Gas chromatography (mobile phase) is used to analyze the composition of three components of the gas products. A syringe needle with gas product is injected into the machine, and the component is eluted and the composition is related to the column or the peaks.
The reaction itself also requires that the dienophile have either a double or triple bond present (Diel-Alder). The resulting structure following this reaction is a ring structure (Weldegirma).
Benzyne Formation and the Diels-Alder Reaction Preparation of 1,2,3,4 Tetraphenylnaphthalene Aubree Edwards Purpose: 1,2,3,4-tetraphenylnaphthalene is prepared by first producing benzyne via the unstable diazonium salt. Then tetraphenylcyclopentadienone and benzyne undergo a diels-alder reaction to create 1,2,3,4-tetraphenylnaphthalene. Reactions: Procedure: The reaction mixture was created. Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (0.1197g, 0.3113 mmol) a black solid powder, anthranilic acid ( 0.0482g, 0.3516 mmol) a yellowish sand, and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (1.2 ml) was added to a 5-ml conical vial.
The bridge and one aromatic ring (ring B) is founded by a phenyl¬propanoid unit biosynthesized from p-coumaryl-CoA (refer formation of p-coumaryl CoA from Phe; above). The six carbons of the other aromatic ring (ring A) originate
The ion, stabilized by resonance, will react with the p-electrons from a double bond in benzene (acting as a nucleophile) and form the cyclohexadienyl cation intermediate and the tetrachloroaluminate anion. The anion then acts as a base to remove a proton from the ring and reform the initial Lewis acid. The ring regains its aromaticity and the product, an aromatic ring with an acyl substituent is fully synthesized.
In this lab, the experiment consisted of multiple reactions performed in a cyclical manner to begin with solid, elemental copper and end with solid, elemental copper. The first and fifth reactions are oxidation-reduction, or redox, reactions, where a transfer of electrons occurs, changing the charge of an element or ion. Redox reactions are often a type of single replacement reactions, in which one elemental species will react with another molecular species, producing another elemental solid out of the metal of the molecular species, as well as a new molecular species with the original elemental species and the ion or non-metal from the original molecular species. For example, if elemental zinc (Zn) were to react with hydrochloric acid (HCl), the chlorine from the hydrochloric acid would bond with the zinc to create zinc chloride (ZnCl2), leaving the hydrogen (H2) as a diatomic gas. The second reaction is a double displacement, in which two species, both consisting of two parts, essentially switch partners with each other.

The limiting reagent in the case of the experiment was the maleic anhydride. The
The experiment consisted of a Diels Alder reaction between anthracene and maleic anhydride to produce 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-α,β-succinic anhydride. This is called a cycloaddition reaction because the reaction between the two products creates a cyclic product. The conjugated diene (called diene) was anthracene (consisted of 2 double bonds) and the dienopile was maleic anhydride (consisted of 1 double bond). The reaction occured between the alkene group of maleic anhydride and the alkene group of anthracene. The reaction is: Source: Melvil, 2014.
We started our work with a reference paper, where ethylene di-benzoate(EDB) was taken as sample molecule. We studied the $\beta$-elimination reaction of EDB as a model system in order to follow the thermal degradation of polyethylene terephthalate(PET). In this system the carbon in the ester linkage turns into a nucleophile and interacts with the $\beta$-hydrogen atom of glycol unit. This resulted in the formation of six centred cyclic transition state. In vacuum, the final Gibbs free energy which is the difference between the total energy in the reactant and the transition state was calculated to be 51.1kcal/mol.
Cyclopropane is a flammable, synthetic compound which is a ring made up of three carbon atoms. Each carbon atom has two stereoselective hydrogens thus creating a molecular formula of C3H6. Cyclopropane is seen in daily life through physiological activity and in chemical and biological transformations. Cyclopropanols are versatile building blocks for organic synthesis because of the ability to undergo various transformation. The unique ring structure, that involves an -OH group, allows for many opportunities for drug design in today’s pharmaceutical field, especially in antibiotics.
