Grignard Reaction Assignment Directions: Complete the following tasks using data that you collected in the experiment. This assignment must be completed as a Word document or PDF and submitted via upload to Canvas by the due date. 1. Is magnesium, bromobenzene, or benzophenone the limiting reactant in this experiment? Show calculations to justify your answer. (3 points) 2. Based on your answer to the question above, calculate the theoretical yield for your reaction. (3 points) 3. How much of the product was recovered? What is the percent yield for the reaction? (3 points) 4. Comment on the results of your IR spectroscopy test of the Grignard product. What key bands in the IR were observed, and what can you conclude about the reaction from them? (3 points) 5. We did not do NMR spectroscopy for this experiment in the interest of time. What would you have expected to see in the NMR if we tested your Grignard product? Sketch an image of the NMR spectrum that you would predict for your product in the space below. (3 points)
6. Vanillin is the molecule responsible for the pleasant odor of vanilla. Although vanillin has a similar molecule to benzophenone, it does not produce the desired Grignard addition product when substituted for benzophenone in this experiment. Explain this observation. (3 points) vanillin OCH 3 O OH MgBr diethyl ether OCH 3 OH OH not observed! 7. Attach an image of your IR spectrum. You can either embed it in this Word document or submit it as a separate file on Canvas. (2 points)
