In regards to the synthesis of 9-fluorenone via sodium
hypochlorite oxidation of 9-fluorenol (9-Fluorenol ->
9-fluorenone) lab answer the following question:
What would happen if this oxidation were carried out with
9-methyl-9-fluorenol?
You will apply the oxidation reaction to 9-fluorenol to obtain
9-fluorenone:
1. Describe the role of each chemical in this reaction.
Reagent
Role
9-fluorenol
H2CrO4
acetone
ether
hexanes
2. What is the actual oxidizing agent in this experiment? What
is it reduced to?
3.After all of the 9-flurenol has undergone reaction, it is
necessary to destroy the excess oxidizing agent in the reaction
mixture. How is this done?
4. Imagine that you will monitor the reaction progress by TLC.
Will...
Can you please explain the oxidation reaction of 9-fluorenol to
9-fluorenone using sodium hypochlorite, preferably a detailed
explanation of everything that is happening.
A sample of 9-fluorenone is contaminated with an impurity that
is insoluble in ethanol. 9-Fluorenone is a bright yellow solid that
dissolves in hot ethanol. Use this information to design the
experimental procedure to purify 9-fluorenone. Describe the
procedure.
A researcher attempted this reaction with H2SO4 instead of H3PO4
and noticed a 3rd product. How did this product form from just
switching the acid catalyst?
the E1 reaction for the lab:
2-methylcyclohexanol with H3PO4 to make 2-methycyclohexane
product. The H3PO4 solution will instead be H2SO4.
What is the mechanism for separating 9-fluorenone and a
carboxylic acid in mixture? We are using a separatory funnel and
adding the mixture of 9-fluorenone and a carboxylic acid to it. I
need to know the mechanism of how they will separate into an
aqueous and an organic layer.
1.1g of 9-fluorenol mixed with 11.1mL of hot methanol .11g of
NaBH4 was then added. 3M of sulfuric acid was then added to the
mixture, resulting in the formation of a solid. The mixture was
then heated until the solid that formed upon the acid addition was
dissolved in the solvent(methanol), and then cooled to room
temperature.
9-fluorenol NMR: I've provided two sets of NMR's. The
theoretical vs. the experimental. In the theoretical I understand
all the shifts except for...
