When racemic guest and chirally pure host are mixed in the solid state, one enantiomer of the guest is included by the host, and then when the mixture is heated the uncomplexed guest distills at relatively low temperature. Thereafter the complexed enanti- omer is released on distillation at relatively high temperature. In this review, optical resolution by selective inclusion is not discussed. However, optical resolution by the combination of enantioselective solid-state reaction and the distillation technique is described in chapter II.

Inclusion crystals are usually prepared by recrys- tallization of both components. Surprisingly, how- ever, it was discovered that movement and chiral arrangement of achiral molecules can occur by mix- ing and grinding host and guest crystals in the solid state. In other words, an optically active product results from mixing and grinding an achiral guest with a chiral host followed by irradiation.

  • Experiment 5 – IR Exercise Reading Assignment Mohrig Chapter 21
    CHEM 8L, Binder UCSC Experiment 5 – IR Exercise Reading Assignment Mohrig Chapter 21 In this experiment, students will study the infrared (IR) spectra of compounds with different functional groups. The purpose of the experiment is to become familiar with the IR spectrometer, the preparation and handling of IR samples, and the interpretation of IR spectra. CHEM 108M students use the IR nearly every lab. You will obtain the IR spectra of aspirin, carvone, and methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil). Carvone and methyl salicylate are liquids and their IRs are obtained directly from a very small drop of pure (aka “neat”) material. Aspirin is a solid and must be diluted before the IR is obtained. O O OH O O O OCH3 OH Methyl Salicylate Acetylsalicylic Acid Carvone (Wintergreen Oil) (Aspirin) Figure 1. Structures of compounds to be analyzed by IR. IR spectroscopy is similar to spectrophotometry, a technique that is used in the general chemistry labs to determine concentration of samples based on absorbance of visible light. In spectrophotometry, a colored sample absorbs light in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. IR spectroscopy explores a different range of frequencies in order to determine the types of bonds and functional groups present but does not require a visible color in the compound. Absorption of IR radiation results in the stretching and bending of bonds in ways characteristic to the functional group. Before beginning to prepare the notebook for this lab, read the sections on IR in the Mohrig text and attend the IR lecture! You may bring this handout to lab to compare with literature IR, but you still need to prepare your lab notebook or you will not be permitted to enter the lab (zero points on the report).

  • Experiment 19 — Aldol Condensation
    Chem 22 Spring 2010 Experiment 19 — Aldol Condensation _____________________________________________________________________________ Pre-lab preparation. (1) Write the mechanism of the base-catalyzed aldol condensation of acetone and a generalized aromatic aldehyde, Ar–CH=O to give the α,β-unsaturated product (i.e. the reaction at the top of the next page, but with a 1:1 ratio of ketone and aldehyde). Remember that dehydration in this case occurs under basic conditions, so it can't start with protonation of the hydroxyl group. Nor can it go via an E2 pathway. (2) Draw the structures of all the possible aldehyde and ketone reactants (not the 25 possible condensation products!). (3) The new CC double bonds of the condensation products are E rather than Z, as shown in the acetone example. Why? (4) What's the purpose of rinsing the crude product with dilute acetic acid, followed by ethanol? (5) What is the procedure for carrying out a single-solvent recrystallization? Write this out in detail. The aldol condensation has historically been one of the favorite tools in the synthetic organic chemist's repertoire because of its versatility in forming new CC bonds. Since its discovery in the 1870s the aldol condensation has been use extensively in the synthesis of natural products and other complex molecules. In a typical base-catalyzed aldol condensation an enolate ion attacks the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or ketone. This carbonyl addition produces a β-hydroxy carbonyl compound. In many cases the initially formed condensation product undergoes an "E1cB" dehydration to produce an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound as the final product.

DE ASSIS Instituto de Química, UNICAMP, Rua José de Castro, s/n, 13083-970 Campinas, SP, Brazil Manuscript received on September 11, 2017; accepted for publication on December 29, 2017 ABSTRACT In this overview, we present our analysis of the future of organic synthesis in Brazil, a highly innovative and strategic area of research which underpins our social and economical progress. Several different topics (automation, catalysis, green chemistry, scalability, methodological studies and total syntheses) were considered to hold promise for the future advance of chemical sciences in Brazil. In order to put it in perspective, contributions from Brazilian laboratories were selected by the citations received and importance for the field and were benchmarked against some of the most important results disclosed by authors worldwide. The picture that emerged reveals a thriving area of research, with new generations of well-trained and productive chemists engaged particularly in the areas of green chemistry and catalysis. In order to fulfill the promise of delivering more efficient and sustainable processes, an integration of the academic and industrial research agendas is to be expected. On the other hand, academic research in automation of chemical processes, a well established topic of investigation in industrial settings, has just recently began in Brazil and more academic laboratories are lining up to contribute.

Introduction: Aldol condensations are important in organic synthesis, providing a good way to form carbon–carbon bonds. The "aldol" (aldehyde + alcohol) product is a structural unit found in many naturally occurring molecules and pharmaceuticals, and is therefore important. In an Aldol condensation an enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl compound to form a β- hydroxyaldehyde or β-hydroxyketone, followed by dehydration to give a conjugated enone. The general equation is shown in Figure 1. O O O R" B: H R R'" R "R R'" loss of H2O H R' R' Figure 1. The equation for the Aldol Condensation. The reaction involves the nucleophilic addition of an enolate to an aldehyde to form a β-hydroxy carbonyl. The β-hydroxy carbonyl is readily dehydrated under mild conditions.

We report here a strategy tially formed ZACA products. Introduction of the OH group for a highly enantioselective (≥99% ee) and catalytic synthesis by oxidation of initially formed alkylalane intermediates in of various γ- and more-remotely chiral alcohols from terminal Scheme 2 is based on two considerations: (i) the proximity of the alkenes via Zr-catalyzed asymmetric carboalumination of alkenes OH group to a stereogenic carbon center is highly desirable for (ZACA reaction)–Cu- or Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling. ZACA–in situ lipase-catalyzed acetylation to provide ultrapure (≥99% ee) di- oxidation of tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS)-protected ω-alkene-1-ols functional intermediates, and (ii) the versatile OH group can R S α ω produced both ( )- and ( )- , -dioxyfunctional intermediates (3) be further transformed to a wide range of carbon groups by – ee ≥ ee in 80 88% , which were readily purified to the 99% level tosylation or iodination followed by Cu- or Pd-catalyzed cross- by lipase-catalyzed acetylation through exploitation of their high α ω coupling.
