  • Common Names for Selected Aromatic Groups
    More Nomenclature: Common Names for Selected Aromatic Groups Phenyl group = or Ph = C6H5 = Aryl = Ar = aromatic group. It is a broad term, and includes any aromatic rings. Benzyl = Bn = It has a -CH2- (methylene) group attached to the benzene ring. This group can be used to name particular compounds, such as the one shown below. This compound has chlorine attached to a benzyl group, therefore it is called benzyl chloride. Benzoyl = Bz = . This is different from benzyl group (there is an extra “o” in the name). It has a carbonyl attached to the benzene ring instead of a methylene group. For example, is named benzoyl chloride. Therefore, it is sometimes helpful to recognize a common structure in order to name a compound. Example: Nomenclature: 3-phenylpentane Example: This is Amaize. It is used to enhance the yield of corn production. The systematic name for this compound is 2,4-dinitro-6-(1-methylpropyl)phenol. Polynuclear Aromatic Compounds Aromatic rings can fuse together to form polynuclear aromatic compounds. Example: It is two benzene rings fused together, and it is aromatic. The electrons are delocalized in both rings (think about all of its resonance form). Example: This compound is also aromatic, including the ring in the middle. All carbons are sp2 hybridized and the electron density is shared across all 5 rings. Example: DDT is an insecticide and helped to wipe out malaria in many parts of the world. Consequently, the person who discovered it (Muller) won the Nobel Prize in 1942. The systematic name for this compound is 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(4-chlorophenyl)ethane.

  • PDMS-Based Antimicrobial Surfaces for Healthcare Applications
    PDMS-based Antimicrobial Surfaces for Healthcare Applications This thesis is presented to UCL in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Ekrem Ozkan Supervised by Professor Ivan P. Parkin Materials Chemistry Research Centre Dr Elaine Allan Division of Microbial Diseases 2017 1 DECLARATION I, Ekrem Ozkan confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis describes two types of approaches for reducing the incidence of hospital- acquired infections (HAIs), which are chemical approaches that inactivate bacteria that adhere to the surface i.e. bactericidal activity and physical approaches that inhibit initial bacterial attachment to the surface i.e. anti-biofouling activity. Specifically, the antimicrobial polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based systems detailed in this thesis are: (i) photosensitizer, crystal violet (CV),-coated PDMS for both medical device and hospital touch surface applications, (ii) crystal violet-coated, zinc oxide nanoparticle-encapsulated PDMS for hospital touch surface applications, (iii) superhydrophobic antibacterial copper coated PDMS films via aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD) for hospital touch surface applications and (iv) slippery copper-coated PDMS films to prevent biofilm formation on medical devices. The materials were characterized using techniques including: X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis absorbance spectroscopy, water-contact angle measurement and microbiology tests. Functional testing indicated that CV-coated samples were suitable for targeted applications and showed potent light-activated antimicrobial activity when tested against model Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, and Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, associated with hospital-acquired infections, with > 4 log reduction in viable bacterial numbers observed.

The extracting solutions were aqueous bases. In this experiment you will be seperating a mixture of a basic and a neutral compound. As you will recall from sec. 1.2 of experiment 1 that this will require an aqueous'acidic solution. The basic compound after separation is recovered by re extraction. Objeetives After srudying and performing this experiment you should be able to : . separate a mixture of a neutral and a basic organic compound by solvent extraction technique, identify the functional group of the separated compounds, and describe the theory behind the above. 2.2 PRINCIPLE This mixture contains a basic compound, p-toluidine, and a neutral compound viz., naphthalene. Their separation is quite straight forward. You will recall from above that a basic compound can be extracted by an aqueous solution of an acid. As this mixture contains only one basic compound (as against two acidic compounds in the previous experiment), you don't need to bother about which acid to use for extraction. A strong acid like HCI is definitely a good choice and will afford an effective separation.

  • Perkin's Mauve: the History of the Chemistry
    REFLECTIONS Perkin’s Mauve: The History of the Chemistry Andrew Filarowski Those of us who owe our living in part to the global dyestuff and chemical industry should pause today and remember the beginnings of this giant industry which started 150 years ago today with William Perkins’ discovery of mauveine whilst working in his home laboratory during the Easter holiday on April 28, 1856. Prior to this discovery, all textiles were dyed with natural dyestuffs and pigments. What did Perkin’s Reaction Entail? William Henry Perkin carried out his experiments at his home laboratory in the Easter break of 1856. He was trying to produce quinine (C20H24N2O2). This formula was known but not the structural formula. Because chemistry was in such an early stage of development Perkin thought that by simply balancing the masses (simple additive and subtractive chemistry) in an equation he would obtain the required compound. He therefore believed that if he took two allyltoluidine molecules, C10H13N, and oxidised them with three oxygen atoms (using potassium dichromate) he would get quinine (C20H24N2O2) and water. 2 (C10H13N) + 3O C20H24N2O2 + H2O It is unsurprising to us now but Perkin reported “that no quinine was formed, but only a dirty reddish brown precipitate.” However, he continued in his trials and decided to use aniline (C6H5NH2) and its sulphate, and to oxidise them using potassium dichromate. This produced a black precipitate that Perkin at first took to be a failed experiment, but he noticed on cleaning his equipment with alcohol that a coloured solution was obtained. Perkin’s Patent W H Perkin filed his patent on the 26th August 1856 for “Producing a new colouring matter for the dyeing with a lilac or purple color stuffs of silk, cotton, wool, or other materials.” (sic) Patent No.

Conclusion Introduction The compounds you will be making are also naturally occurring compounds; the chemical structure of these compounds is already known from other investigations. Esters are organic molecules of the general form: where R1 and R2 are any carbon chain. Esters are unique in that they often have strong, pleasant odors. As such, they are often used in fragrances, and many artificial flavorings are in fact esters. Esters are produced by the reaction between alcohols and carboxylic acids. For example, reacting ethanol with acetic acid to give ethyl acetate is shown below. + → + In the case of ethyl acetate, R1 is a CH3 group and R2 is a CH3CH2 group. Naming esters systematically requires naming the functional groups on both sides of the bridging oxygen. In the example above, the right side of the ester as shown is a CH3CH2 1 group, or ethyl group. The left side is CH3C=O, or acetate. The name of the ester is therefore ethyl acetate. Deriving the names of the side from the carboxylic acid merely requires replacing the suffix –ic with –ate.

  • NOMENCLATURE of ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ©2010, 2003, 1980, by David A
    NOMENCLATURE OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ©2010, 2003, 1980, by David A. Katz. All rights reserved. Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds. Carbon has the ability to bond with itself to form long chains and, as a result, millions of compounds from simple hydrocarbons to large biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Originally it was believed that these compounds had to come from a living organism, now they are synthesized in the laboratory. The simplest organic compounds are composed of carbon and hydrogen and are known as hydrocarbons. There are four types, or classes, of hydrocarbons: Alkanes: contain all C-C single bonds. These are known as saturated hydrocarbons. Alkenes: contain at least one C=C double bond. Alkynes: contain at least one C≡C triple bond. Both alkenes and alkynes are known as unsaturated hydrocarbons Aromatic hydrocarbons: contain a benzene structure Lewis structures of alkanes look like this: These are also called structural formulas. Since these take up a lot of space, condensed structural formulas are used. Even simpler than condensed structures are skeletal or line structures: There are a range of structures used to represent organic compounds: Before we start naming organic compounds, it is important to understand how carbon atoms are bonded. Every carbon atom will try to form 4 bonds. A carbon atom on the end of a chain of single bonded carbon atoms will be bonded to H one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms: C C H H 1 H A carbon atom in the middle of a chain of single bonded carbon atoms will be H bonded to two carbon atoms and two hydrogen atoms.

(b) The chemical shift of the benzene protons is at considerably greater chemical shift because benzene is aromatic and 1,4-cyclohexadiene is not. 16.6 (b) Among other features, the NMR spectrum of 1-bromo-4-ethylbenzene has a typical ethyl quartet and a typical para-substitution pattern for the ring protons, as shown in Fig. 16.3, text p. 747, whereas the spectrum of (2- bromoethyl)benzene should show a pair of triplets for the methylene protons and a complex pattern for the ring protons. If this isn’t enough to distinguish the two compounds, the integral of the ring protons relative to the integral of the remaining protons is different in the two compounds. 16.7 (b) The IR spectrum indicates the presence of an OH group, and the chemical shift of the broad NMR resonance (d 6.0) suggests that this could be a phenol. The splitting patterns of the d 1.17 and d 2.58 resonances show that the compound also contains an ethyl group, and the splitting pattern of the ring protons shows that the compound is a para-disubstituted benzene derivative.
