FIND PERCENT YIELD OF BENZOIN

Transcribed Image Text:Experiment 9A: Coenzyme Synthesis of Benzoin (Data Sheet)
Running the reaction:
0.65 g of thiamine hydrochloride were dissolved in 2 mL of water in a 6-dram vial
10 mL of 95 % ethanol were added to the mixture and the mixture swirled until it was
homogeneous
Next, 2.10 mL of 4 N sodium hydroxide solution was added dropwise. The solution turned
bright yellow at first but was pale yellow at the end
6.00 mL of benzaldehyde were added and the mixture was swirled until the aldehyde
completely dissolved leading to a pale-yellow solution
The vial was tightly closed and stored in the drawer
Product isolation:
After two days, the vial contained a copious amount of long crystals
The vial was placed in an ice bath for 15 minutes
The solids were isolated by vacuum filtration on a Hirsch funnel
The yellowish solids were rinsed with three portions of ice-cold water and two portions of
ice-cold 95 % ethanol (5 mL each); the crystals were white afterward
After sucking air through the crystals, they were allowed to dry
Product characterization:
4.45 g of the product
М.p.: 134-137 °C
