Oxidizing agent

using a secondary alcohol and oxidizing agent in order to use that ketone in a reduction reaction with a specific reducing agent to determine the affect of that reducing agent on the diastereoselectivity of the product. In the first part of this experiment, 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol was reacted with NaOCl, an oxidizing agent, and acetic acid to form 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone. In the second part of this experiment, 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone was reacted with a reducing agent, either NaBH4 in EtOH or Al(OiPr)3

Oxidation of 2-Octanol Oxidation of 2-Octanol Using Hypochlorite as an Oxidizing Agent Jessica Johnson CHEM 331L-002 15 November 2017 – 29 November 2017 Abstract The purpose of the experiment is to oxidize a secondary alcohol (2-octanol) by using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) to produce 2-octanone. The starting material consisted of a sample of 2-octanol that was placed into a three-neck flask along with acetic acid and acetone creating an acidic solution. While monitoring temperature fluctuations

Experiment 8: Synthesis of Adipic Acid Performed November 8th & 10th By Jennifer Seitz Organic Chemistry 344 Section 803 Fall 2011 Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize adipic acid from cyclohexanol via an oxidation reaction that was catalyzed by sulfuric acid. Purity of the product was assessed by measuring the melting point. Physical Properties/Structures: Name | Formula | Molecular Weight (g/mol) | Boiling Point (0C) | Melting Point(0C) | Density(g/mL)

April Goodson CHEM 242L-002 February 20, 2013 Oxidation of Cyclohexanone to Adipic Acid Abstract The cyclic ketone cyclohexanone was oxidized to adipic acid using the oxidizing agent nitric acid. The experiment yielded 0.2667 grams of adipic acid, giving a percent yield of 113.97%. Although the product was allowed to dry for one week, residual moisture was still present in the sample and a melting point could not be obtained. This error in the experiment either resulted from adding too much

Introduction An oxidation reaction is one of the basic reactions in chemistry, this reaction involves the movement of electrons between two different compounds. Oxidation specifically is when a compound loses an electron, in turn the other compound in the reaction would gain the electron thus it is reduced, the whole interaction is called oxidation-reduction reactions. A basic oxidation-reduction reaction would go as shown in figure 1.0 below. This reaction has CO2 being reduced while the H2 is being

vigorously stirred with a stirring rod, and every so often (about every 5 minutes) a small portion of the potassium permanganate solution was added to the solution; at this point, it was emphasized that the potassium permanganate solution, or the oxidizing agent, should be added in small

Chemistry Practical Investigation-Volumetric Analysis Discussion: Based on the data obtained, the precision of obtaining the data is high. This is because the data shows closeness between one another. It shows the reproducibility of a set of measured quantity. The data obtained showed three concordant titres where the titre volumes differ by less than 0.1mL from the highest to the lowest. The variability of a measurement cannot be determined from a single measurement, therefore multiple measurements

Course Introduction As a licensed cosmetologist, your clients rely on you to teach then about their hair, skin, and nails. As such, it is imperative that you maintain a working knowledge if basic chemistry and trichology. The ability to recognize the structures and anatomy of the nails and skin is also crucial as you work to educate your clients. It is also important for you to recognize common diseases, disorders, and conditions of the hair, skin, and nails as you work in the salon. Finally, you

The disposal of colored organic waste water from the textile industries causes serious problems to the aquatic ecosystem and because of this the aquatic environment is contaminated which created a serious threat to the living organisms. Textile industry is water-intensive resulting a large amount of harmful dye effluent 33. The increasing awareness on environment issues the norms are being specified by the governments of various countries 34. In view of complex chemical, molecular structures and
