The SN2 reaction can be evaluated by first observing the chemical mechanisms of the compounds involved. The agents took into account for the mechanism was the naphtholate anion and allyl bromide. First, a pair of lone pairs on the oxygen anion on the naphtholate compound attacks a single-bonded carbon on the allyl bromide compound. Afterwards, the bromide leaving group exits the allyl bromide compound, and creates its own anion cloud. Overall, this synthesizes naphthyl ether. The mechanism cannot

In this experiment, a Grignard was performed with 3-pentanone and an unknown alkyl bromide to obtain and identify a 3˚ alcohol. In order to identify the alkyl bromide, the identity of the product was found by spectroscopic analysis. To complete this reaction, first the Grignard reagent was prepared. The reagent was generated by taking Unknown AP and adding it, dropwise, to a mixture of 6.2 mL of THF and 1.0008 g of magnesium. The magnesium had to be crushed to initiate the reaction between magnesium

A chemical reaction is where two or more substances come together and pops, fizzes, and in some cases explode! Alka Seltzer is a type of chemical reaction where you put water and carbon dioxide gas. Equation . When Alka-Seltzer tablets are dissolved in water, bicarbonate forms (from the sodium bicarbonate), which in turn reacts with hydrogen (from citric acid) to form water and carbon dioxide gas. “ In The bicarbonate reaction project you will find out for yourself by plopping Alkaseltzer

Revised Analysis Conclusion A chemical reaction is the interaction of 2 or more reactants that produces one or more new substances. The reactants in this experiment were distilled water and Alka-Seltzer tablets. Water contains H2O, and the ingredients in Alka-Seltzer are aspirin, citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). When sodium bicarbonate is placed in water, it dissociates into sodium (Na) and Bicarbonate (HCO3). When the bicarbonate splits apart, it reacts with the hydrogen ions from

The halogen-containing organic compound I decided to research is chloroform. Chloroform is also called trichloromethane, its molecular formula is CHCl3. It is, “a colorless liquid, half again as dense as water and of about the same viscosity, chloroform has a heavy, etherlike odor and a burning sweetness of taste, being about 40 times as sweet as cane sugar” (Chloroform, 2016). In addition, “it is an important solvent for gums, resins, fats, elements such as sulfur and iodine, and a wide variety

My science fair project is based on a chemical reaction taking place to turn a hot substance into ice. A chemical reaction is a reaction that changes the substances original identity to a different chemical identity. There are many different types chemical reactions in chemistry, but the one we are going to be focusing on are exothermic reactions. Exothermic reactions are reactions that transfer energy to the surroundings. The exothermic reaction is a reaction that gives off more energy than it

poisonous, however this is only specific to the violet-blue coloured flowering plants; the yellow flowered plants, most commonly known as eranthis are not poisonous. Aconitine, which is a highly poisonous alkaloid derived from the aconitum plants has a chemical formula of C34H47NO11. Aconitum napellus is found wild in some parts of England, mostly in the western counties and also in South Wales and it’s habitat is most commonly mountain slopes; therefore the plant can also be found in parts of the Himalayas

Enzyme inhibition refers to a decrease in enzyme-related processes, enzyme production, or enzyme activity. Various clinically critical communications between drugs result from CYP450 hindrance. CYP450 inhibitors are diverse in their selectivity toward proteins and are arranged by their systems of activity. A few medications are strong focused inhibitors and go after the dynamic site, yet they are not a substrate for the compound (e.g., quinidine and CYP2D6), while different medications are noncompetitive

In this experiment, a Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction was performed. This reaction was performed with 1,3-cyclopentadiene and maleic anhydride. The 1,3-cyclopentadiene was obtained by cracking dicyclopentadiene. The Diels-Alder reaction resulted in 2.0881 grams of clear white crystals, which were confirmed to be cis-norbornene-5,6-endo-dicarboxylicacid anhydride. This amount determined a percent yield of 83.16 %. The percent yield is only 83.16 % because some product was lost during vacuum filtration

LAMP reaction The LAMP reaction was performed by using Loopamp DNA amplification kit, Eiken chemical CO., LTD., JAPAN. The 2X reaction mix composed of 40 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.8), 20 mM MgSO4, 16 mM (NH4)2SO4, 0.2% Tween 20, 1.6 M Betaine and 2.8 mM dNTPs each. The LAMP reaction was optimized by incorporating different concentrations of primers and temperature. The LAMP reaction of total 25µl volume consisted of 2X reaction mixture (12.5µl), 2.0 μM FIP and BIP; 0.8 μM LF and LB; 0.2 μM F3 and B3 each
