Experiment 8: Multistep synthesis Benzoin Condensation O OH CN H - + CN /H2O H O OH- H OH OH OH CN - H CN OH O H + CN- Since cyanide is quite toxic, we will use thiamine as our catalyst to replace cyanide - CH3 N NH2 Cl S N N OH + CH3 Thiamine is heat sensitive so the addition of 5 M NaOH needs to be added slowly (3 to 5 min) to the thiamine hydrochloride in an ice bath with constant swirling and maintain the temperature below room temperature. Once the benzaldehyde is added, the reaction flask, an Erlenmeyer flask, is sealed with a cork and sealed with Parafilm to keep out air. Place in your drawer until next week. How do I go about figuring out what my unknown is? 1. From your solubility measurements, you should be able to classify your unknowns according to the solubility classes discussed. 2. Complete and hand in your preliminary report if you haven’t done so. 3. From your solubility measurements and you physical properties, make a list of the possible compounds. 4. Look up some reference IR spectra in your manual that have the possible functional groups present in your unknown. 5. Begin to analyze your NMR spectrum. If you have an carboxylic acid as an unknown, consider titrating it to determine its equivalent weight. Step 2 Oxidation of benzoin to benzil OH O O O HNO3 H 1.

This method was proved to be eco- benign, easy work-up, convenient, relatively short reaction times and the products were isolated with high yields. Keywords: Multi-component reactions (MCRs), One-pot synthesis, tetrasubstituted imidazoles, Preyssler catalyst, Heteropoly acid (HPA) Introduction Imidazole, at first, has been prepared by debus 1 in 1858. Over the century, imidazole derivatives have received significant attention due to their synthesis, reactions and biochemical properties. The imidazoles are one of the most important substructures found in a large number of natural products and pharmacologically active compounds. For example, histidine, histamine and biotin, an active component in several drug molecules 2, anti-allergic activity 3, hypnotic agent etomidate 4, proton pump inhibitor omeprazole 5 and the benzodiazepine antagonist flumazenil 6 are imidazole derivatives. Recent advances in green chemistry and organometallic catalysis has extended the application of imidazoles as ionic liquids 7 and N-heterocyclic carbenes 8.

Received: 27 August 2019; Accepted: 4 October 2019; Published: 6 October 2019 Abstract: UV-curable inks, coatings, and adhesives are being increasingly used in food packaging systems. When exposed to UV energy, UV-photoinitiators (PI’s) present in the formulations produce free radicals which catalyze polymerization of monomers and pre-polymers into resins. In addition to photopolymerization, other free radical reactions occur in these systems resulting in the formation of chemically varied photolytic decomposition products, many of which are low molecular weight chemical species with high migration potential. This research conducted model experiments in which 24 commonly used PI’s were exposed to UV-energy at the typical upper limit of commercial UV-printing press conditions. UV-irradiated PI’s were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and electrospray-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in order to identify photolytic decomposition products. Subsequently, migration studies of 258 UV-cure food packaging samples were conducted using GC-MS; PI’s and photolytic decomposition products were found in nearly all samples analyzed. One hundred-thirteen photolytic decomposition products were identiﬁed. Eighteen intact PI’s and 21 photolytic decomposition products were observed as migrants from the 258 samples analyzed, and these were evaluated for frequency of occurrence and migratory concentration range.

The solution was heated at 100°C and agitated until the red fumes were gone. The reaction was followed by the means of TLC (CH2Cl2 was the eluent). Then, the solution was transferred in a flask containing 150mL of cold water and agitated until the precipitate was formed. 2.2) Isolation The solid product (yellow crystals) were filtered and washed with cold water and then recrystallized in ethanol. 3. DISCUSSION AND RESULTS 3.1) Observations There was a strong release of NO2, identified by its red/dark orange fumes. Although the protocol said that the reaction should be finished after about an hour, almost two hours were necessary to its full completion (until the spot corresponding to the reagent disappeared from the TLC plate).

Resorcinarene adopts a boat conformation in 1-4 and a bowl conformation in 5 and 6. Compounds 1-4 show a brick-wall-like framework, in which two benzil molecules are incorporated. For 5, bpeh spacers link CMCR molecules to give a one-dimensional wavelike polymer in which one benzil guest is embedded within the polymer cavity. Complex 6 forms a carcerand-like capsule in which two benzil guests are encapsulated. The OdC-CdO torsion angles vary from 91.8 to 139.3° and correlate with the length of the central C-C bond. The benzil concentration, which is ∼6.2 mol/L in the neat crystals, varies between 1.01 and 1.51 mol/L in the structures studied, corresponding to a 6-fold dilution. The benzil molecules are disordered in the larger cavities of 4 and 5. The two benzoyl fragments are almost perpendicular in 3, which has the next largest cavity size when solvent volume is excluded, whereas a nearly trans-coplanar conformation occurs for the cavity with the smallest volume in 6.
