question
Purpose was to synthesize an alkyl bromide from an unknown primary or secondary alcohol. Week 1: NaBr, di water and the unknown was mixed, and sulfuric acid was added drop wise via the column, turning yellow at the end. Reflux was started and ran for 30 minutes. The solution was then cooled, and simple distillation was ran. The samples were combined with a partner and washed with di water, organic layer collected.Tthen washed with H2So4, then 10 ml of di water, then CaCO3. Week 2: sample was poured through a plugged buchner funnel and put through simple distillation. Mass and volume collected for density. IR, GC, & NMR was ran.
answer
Synthesis of an alkyl halide lab:
question
Week 1: fractional distillation of an unknown alcohol and phosphoric acid. Distillate was then added to seperatory funnel, and washed with sodium bicarbonate. Water removed and organic layer was washed with sodium bicarbonate again. CaCl2 was added to organic layer, and corked for the next week. Week 2: the liquid was decanted off and put through simple distillation. GC was ran, Br2 and KMnO4 test were ran to determine the presence of double bonds.
