The Condensation Reactions Experiment 14: Synthesis of 3-Carbethoxycoumarin Go over mechanisms for transesterifcation & aldol condensation in class
The Condensation Reactions Experiment 16: Synthesis of Creatine Go over mechanism in class.
Esterification Synthesis of esters A Typical Esterification (generic example): reaction of a carboxylic acid (elec) with an alcohol (nuc) acid catalyzed reversible known as a Fisher Esterification
Esterification Experiment 80: Synthesis of Aspirin Reaction of an alcohol (nuc) with an anhydride (elec) Similar mechanism to Fisher esterification Analyses: IR & NMR Aspirin: Anti-inflammatory analgesic (pain killer) Antipyretic (fever reducer)
More Esterifications Experiment 86: Synthesis of Benzocaine Fisher esterification reaction Analyses: IR, NMR & MS Benzocaine: Topical local anesthetic for itching and pain caused by sunburn, insect bites, poison ivy, poison oak, minor cuts Deadens the nerve endings in the skin
Fragrant Esters Analyses: IR, NMR, GC, GC-MS, MS
