Melting point: 122-123

experimental product melting point: 120

 

mass of starting material: 1.04

mass of product: 0.85g 

 

what is limiting reagent and percent yield?

PROCEDURE:
1. To a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and containing
20 mL of dichloromethane add 1 mL of benzaldehyde and 1.1 molar equivalence of
benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride (calculate amount).
2. Add 5 mL of freshly prepared 50% NaOH (2.5 g of NaOH in 5 mL H,0) and
cover with a watch glass and stir the mixture for 30 min at room temp.
3. Transfer the mixture to a separatory funnel using dichloromethane (10 mL) and
H,O (20 mL). Shake gently, allow the layers to separate, drain off the lower DCM
layer into a beaker. Discard the aqueous (top) layer.
4. Spot a drop of this liquid onto a TLC plate (for later) and evaporate the combined
organic layers on a hot plate (at 100 °C) to an oil (cease heating when bubbling
ceases).
5. To the resulting clear oil add 10 mL 95% ethanol, mix and cool in an ice bath.

PROCEDURE: cont.
6. Collect the precipitate by vacuum filtration
7. Take a melting point, calculate a percent yield and obtain an IR spectrum. Note the
absence of a carbonyl stretch peak at about 1700 cm'.
8. Take TLC of crude reaction product (Step 4) versus final product using hexane/ethyl
acetate (95:5) as eluent. Include representation of developed TLC plate in lab notebook and
report. Calculate all R,s. Comment on the relative spot intensities of the E and Z isomers
present in the crude reaction product mixture.
