DAY 3: Having set aside some of the benzoin for melting range, IR and NMR analysis, weigh the remaining product into a 50 mL round bottom flask (MW = 212.24 g/mol). Add 10 equivalents of glacial acetic acid (MW = 60.05 g/mol, d = 1.049 g/mL). Add 1.25 equivalents of ammonium nitrate (MW = 80.04 g/mol). Add 0.01 equivalents of copper (II) acetate solution (the solution Is 2% w/v, assuming the same density as water, MW = 181.63 g/mol) Add a boiling chip to the mixture, then heat under a gentle reflux for 40 minutes in the fume hood. Keep the reaction In the fume hood, as potentially hazardous vapors may be evolved. Monitor the reaction by TLC on silica gel plates with 20% ethyl acetaterhexanes (1:4 ratio) as eluent. You should spot the plate with both the reaction mixture, and a standard solution of benzoin (you may need to make this up yourself). Ideally the plate should show a major spot for the product, with no spot in the reaction mixture that corresponds to the starting material. Plates may be visualized under the UV lamp. If starting material is still visible by TLC, heat the reaction further. Once the reaction has been completed (by TLC), allow the reaction to cool to about 50- 60°C, then while it is still warm to touch, pour it over ice water (approximately 4.5-5 mL per gram of starting benzoin) with stirring. Make sure that you do not alliow the reaction mixture to crystallize before pouring it on the ice water. Collect the crystals by vacuum filtration and wash thE solid several tümes with ice-cold water. Allow the crystals to dry on the filter, then transfer them to a pre-weighed beaker. Allow the material to dry in your drawer until the next period. eaction:
