Running head: THE CROSSED ALDOL CONDENSATION 1 Reaction of the 3,4 Dimethoxybenzaldehyde and 1- Indanone to explore “Crossed” Aldol Condensation Anjenelle Fernandez, Steve Smith, Ayushi Vyawhare University of South Florida CHM 2211L: Organic Chemistry II Lab Isaiah Nelson
2 Reaction of the 3,4 Dimethoxybenzaldehyde and 1- Indanone to explore “Crossed” Aldol Condensation The aldol condensation reaction is an alternative to the Wittig reaction to form carbonyls into alkenes (Wildegirma, 2023). There are two kinds of aldol condensation, self-aldol condensation and crossed aldol condensation. The self-aldol condensation is one in which the molecule couples with the same kind of molecule (Wildegirm). The crossed aldol condensation requires one carbonyl is enolized, in this experiment the 1-indanone, and the other is non- enolizable, in this experiment the 3,4- dimethoxybenzaldehyde (Farmer & Reusch, 2020). This experiment uses a mixed- aldol condensation reaction as one of the reactants, as an aldehyde and ketone are reacting with each other within NaOH as a base. The crossed aldol reaction occurs at room temperature and requires a base to form the solid product (Wildegirma, 2023). This utilizes the principles of green chemistry as it uses no solvent, has a high atom economy, releases minimal waste, and does not use environmentally harmful materials (Wildegirma, 2023).

10 Figure 4: IR Graph Discussion The melting point values for the desired product was significantly different from the literature value. This may be due to the product not being properly dry when the melting point is measured. The percent yield is lower than 50% and this is likely due to large amounts of product loss within the acidifying process due to spilling and large amounts of solid being stuck to the bottom of the vial. The IR spectrum shows alkene group peaks slightly above 3000, the sharp peak around 3000 is also representative of the benzene ring, an ether peak around 1250, and a small carbonyl peak around the 1700 mark. The NMR shows the strong peak at 4 ppm, 1.8 ppm, and several small peaks between 7-8ppm. The peak between 4 ppm represents the protons attached to the methyl groups attached to the oxygens. The protons on the benzene rings are the
11 small peaks between 7-8 ppm. There is no peak at 10 ppm indicating that the reactant was formed into the desired product. Conclusion In conclusion the desired product was formed in the reaction , thus the data does connect to theory. Despite the relatively low yield, the 1H NMR and IR show that the desired product was formed. The IR spectroscopy can be used to identify functional groups within the molecule and the 1H NMR can be used to identify the connectivity within the molecule. The techniques in this experiment can be used to form other aldol products with other carbonyl compounds. This type of crossed aldol product forms α, β- unsaturated carbonyls.
