  • Chem 353: Grignard
    GRIG.1 ORGANIC SYNTHESIS: BENZOIC ACID VIA A GRIGNARD REACTION TECHNIQUES REQUIRED : Reflux with addition apparatus, rotary evaporation OTHER DOCUMENTS Experimental procedure, product spectra INTRODUCTION In this experiment you will synthesise benzoic acid using bromobenzene to prepare a Grignard reagent, which is then reacted with carbon dioxide, worked-up and purified to give the acid. This sequence serves to illustrate some important concepts of practical synthetic organic chemistry : preparing and working with air and moisture sensitive reagents, the "work-up", extractions, apparatus set-up, etc. The synthesis utilises one of the most important type of reagents discussed in introductory organic chemistry, organometallic reagents. In this reaction, the Grignard reagent (an organomagnesium compound), phenylmagnesium bromide is prepared by reaction of bromobenzene with magnesium metal in diethyl ether (the solvent). The Grignard reagent will then be converted to benzoic acid via the reaction of the Grignard reagent with excess dry ice (solid CO2) followed by a "work-up" using dilute aqueous acid : The aryl (or alkyl) group of the Grignard reagent behaves as if it has the characteristics of a carbanion so it is a source of nucleophilic carbon. It is reasonable to represent the structure of the - + Grignard reagent as a partly ionic compound, R ....MgX. This partially-bonded carbanion is a very strong base and will react with acids (HA) to give an alkane: RH + MgAX RMgX + HA Any compound with suitably acidic hydrogens will readily donate a proton to destroy the reagent. Water, alcohols, terminal acetylenes, phenols and carboxylic acids are just some of the functional groups that are sufficiently acidic to bring about this reaction which is usually an unwanted side reaction that destroys the Grignard reagent.

  • Grignard Reaction: Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol
    *NOTE: Grignard reactions are very moisture sensitive, so all the glassware in the reaction (excluding the work-up) should be dried in an oven with a temperature of > 100oC overnight. The following items require oven drying. They should be placed in a 150mL beaker, all labeled with a permanent marker. 1. 5mL conical vial (AKA: Distillation receiver). 2. Magnetic spin vane. 3. Claisen head. 4. Three Pasteur pipettes. 5. Two 1-dram vials (Caps EXCLUDED). 6. One 2-dram vial (Caps EXCLUDED). 7. Glass stirring rod 8. Adaptor (19/22.14/20) Grignard Reaction: Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Pre-Lab: In the “equations” section, besides the main equations, also: 1) draw the equation for the production of the byproduct, Biphenyl. 2) what other byproduct might occur in the reaction? Why? In the “observation” section, draw data tables in the corresponding places, each with 2 columns -- one for “prediction” (by answering the following questions) and one for actual drops or observation. 1) How many drops of bromobenzene should you add? 2) How many drops of ether will you add to flask 2? 3) 100 µL is approximately how many drops? 4) What are the four signs of a chemical reaction? (Think back to Chem. 110) 5) How do the signs of a chemical reaction apply to this lab? The Grignard reaction is a useful synthetic procedure for forming new carbon- carbon bonds. This organometallic chemical reaction involves alkyl- or aryl-magnesium halides, known as Grignard 1 reagents. Grignard reagents are formed via the action of an alkyl or aryl halide on magnesium metal.

  • Grignard Reagents and Silanes
    GRIGNARD REAGENTS AND SILANES By B. Arkles REPRINTED FROM HANDBOOK OF GRIGNARD REAGENTS by G. Silverman and P. Rakita Pages 667-675 Marcel Dekker, 1996 Gelest, Inc. 612 William Leigh Drive Tullytown, Pa. 19007-6308 Phone: [215] 547-1015 Fax: [215] 547-2484 Grignard Reagents and Silanes 32 Grignard Reagents and Silanes BARRY ARKLES Gelest Inc., Tullytown, Pennsylvania I. INTRODUCTION This review considers two aspects of the interaction of Grignards with silanes. First, focusing on technologies that are still viable within the context of current organosilane and silicone technology, guidelines are provided for silicon-carbon bond formation using Grignard chemistry. Second, the use of silane-blocking agents and their stability in the presence of Grignard reagents employed in organic synthesis is discussed. II. FORMATION OF THE SILICON-CARBON BOND A. Background The genesis of current silane and silicone technology traces back to the Grignard reaction. The first practical synthesis of organosilanes was accomplished by F. Stanley Kipping in 1904 by the Grignard reaction for the formation of the silicon-carbon bond [1]. In an effort totaling 57 papers, he created the basis of modern organosilane chemistry. The development of silicones by Frank Hyde at Corning was based on the hydrolysis of Grignard-derived organosilanes [2]. Dow Corning, the largest manufacturer of silanes and silicones, was formed as a joint venture between Corning Glass, which had silicone product technology, and Dow, which had magnesium and Grignard technology, during World War II. In excess of 10,000 silicon compounds have been synthesized by Grignard reactions. Ironically, despite the versatility of Grignard chemistry for the formation of silicon-carbon bonds, its use in current silane and silicone technology has been supplanted by more efficient and selective processes for the formation of the silicon-carbon bond, notably by the direct process and hydrosilylation reactions.

  • Mechanistic Considerations on the Hydrodechlorination Process of Polychloroarenes
    Chapter 3 Mechanistic Considerations on the Hydrodechlorination Process of Polychloroarenes YoshiharuYoshiharu Mitoma, Mitoma, Yumi KatayamaYumi Katayama andand CristianCristian Simion Simion Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.79083 Abstract Defunctionalization of organochlorines through reductive dechlorination (also known as hydrodechlorination—replacement of chlorine atoms by hydrogen—is one of the main methodologies used in the detoxification of these harmful compounds. Most of the pub- lished papers on this particular matter focused on specific reagents, reaction conditions, and mainly result efficiency. Some of the authors were also concerned with reaction -path ways (e.g., the order in which chlorine atoms were removed from a polychlorinated aro- matic substrate—polychlorinated biphenyls, PCBs; polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, PCDDs; or polychlorinated dibenzofurans, PCDFs). However, the papers that dealt with the investigation of reaction mechanism were rather scarce. This chapter presents the advances made by researchers in understanding, from a mechanistic point of view, the hydrodechlorination process, along with our own assumptions. In doing so, it would be easier to predict the behavior of such compounds in a specific environment, showing more clearly the scope and limitations of each process, depending on the reaction condi- tions and reagents. Keywords: hydrodechlorination, reaction mechanism, metal/hydrogen donor 1. Introduction Most chlorinated and especially polychlorinated arenes (such as polychloro-dibenzo-p-diox- ins 1, polychloro-dibenzofurans 2, or polychlorobiphenyls 3) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that are harmful to both man and the environment [1–5]. © 2016 The Author(s).

Acid can turn poor leaving groups Fischer esterification X groups that are strong bases are poor leaving groups. forming new π-bond and displacing (NR2, OH) into good leaving groups (HNR2, H2O) Formation of amides by Alkyl groups and hydrogens never leave.
