Experiment 9B: Oxidation of Benzoin (Data Sheet)
Running the reaction:
2.50 g of benzoin and 0.39 g of tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate were dissolved in
45 mL ethyl acetate in a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask
19 mL of bleach, 10 m of water, and 9 mL of 0.05 M disodium hydrogenphosphate buffer
were added
The flask was closed with parafilm and clamped
The mixture was stirred vigorously for 60 minutes during which it turned bright yellow
Product isolation:
The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel
8 mL of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution were added
After shaking, the layers were separated (the organic layer is the top layer)
The organic layer was extracted with 10 mL of water
The layers were separated, and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate
The bright yellow solution was decanted, and the drying agent was extracted with 5 mL
ethyl acetate; the wash was combined with the remaining organic layer
Using the rotary evaporator, the volume of the solution was reduced to 5 mL
A 5.25" Pasteur pipette was filled with alumina (until 3-4 cm from the top)
After wetting the column with 2 mL ethyl acetate, the concentrated solution was added
gradually; the yellow fraction was collected in a test tube
The solvent was completely removed using the rotary evaporator leaving behind a dark-
yellow semisolid
5 mL of 95 % ethanol were added to the crude benzil
The mixture was heated to a gentle boil causing the solids to dissolve; the solution was
transferred to a small beaker
Upon cooling to room temperature, yellow, needle-shaped crystals formed; the mixture
was place
The crystals were isolated by vacuum filtration using a Hirsch funnel
The crystals were washed with a small amount of ice-cold 95 % ethanol (2*1 mL)
The crystals were placed in a beaker and allowed to dry
in an ice bath for 15 minutes
Product characterization:
1.60 g of the product
М.p.: 93-95 °C
