Cards

Term
what are the two dyes we used and what class of dyes are they?
Definition
orange II and congo red, which are azo dyes
Term
what is an azo group?
Definition
-N=N-
Term
what are the two steps to prepare azo dyes?
Definition

1. diazotization

2. coupling

Term
two types of dyeing
Definition

1. direct dying: synthesizing the dye and then dipping the fabric in it

 

2. developed dying: synthesizing the dye in the presence of the fabric

Term
how many peaks will show up in the HNMR spectra of 2,2-dimethoxypropane? For acetone/methanol?
Definition
2,2-dimethoxypropare shows two NMR peaks; acetone and methanol show three combined.
Term
is the hydrolysis of 2,2-dimethoxypropane by HCl exothermic or endothermic?
Definition
endothermic
Term
Lucas Test
Definition

ROH + HCl ------> RCl + H2O

ZnCl2

 

primary alcohol: will be clear

secondary: will be clear for a bit, then cloudy

tertiary: will be cloudy

Term
if upon performing the chromic acid test the substance turns from orange to green, what are the three possibilities for your unknown?
Definition
could be a primary alcohol, a secondary alcohol, or an aldehyde
Term
TCICA Test
Definition
tells primary alcohols from secondary alcohols (secondaries form a precipitate very quickly)
Term
2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone test
Definition
aldehydes and ketones yield a bright yellow precipitate
Term
if you do a 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone test and get a yellow precipitate, what are the two tests you can then do to determine what species you have?
Definition
2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone test is positive for both aldehydes and ketones. The Tollens test and the chromic acid test both only test positive for aldehydes.
Term
Tollens Test (include equation)
Definition

you get a silver precipitate from an aldehyde, but not a ketone.

 

2Ag(NH3)2OH + aldehyde ---> 2Ag + carboxylic acid + NH4+ + H2O + NH3

Term
iodoform test
Definition
identifies methyl ketones (yellow precipitate)
Term
what is an example of a chain-growth polymer?
Definition
polyethylene (CH2CH2CH2CH2etc)
Term
nylon, polyeurothane, and polyester are examples of what kind of polymer formation?
Definition
condensation formation
Term
what solvent is used for the formation of nylon? What by-product is formed?
Definition

solvent: hexane

 

by-product: HCl

Term
what do you combine with pthalic anhydride if you want linear polyester? cross-linked polyester?
Definition

linear polyester: pthalic anhydride + ethylene glycol

 

cross-linked polyester: pthalic anhydride + glycerol

Term
what do you use to form polyurethane?
Definition
a diisocyanate and a polyol
Term
in hydrogen bonding using NMR, when will acac predominate?
Definition
when you are using a POLAR solvent
Term
what is a dielectric constant?
Definition
a measure of the ability of a substance to insulate charges from each other; will be higher in more polar species
Term
what was the most polar deuterated solvent we used in the keto-enol equilibrium experiment?
Definition
deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide
Term
what is the equilibrium constant for the keto-enol experiment?
Definition
enol / keto = Ke
Term
in the keto-enol experiment, what will result in a HIGHER Ke?
Definition
a less polar solvent; this will shift equilibrium toward the enol species and raise enol/keto
Term
in the keto-enol experiment, what will be the result of using a solvent with a high dielectric constant?
Definition
there will be more of the keto form; therefore the Ke (equilibrium constant) will be smaller
Term
how do you tell keto from enol in NMR?
Definition
keto has two peaks; enol has four
Term
in the keto-enol experiment, what is the only solvent without TMS already added?
Definition
deuterated hexane
Term
what is the pattern of a higher mole fraction in the keto-enol experiment?
Definition
having a higher mole fraction means there's more solvent, which means the solution is less polar, which means more of the enol form, which means the Ke is higher
Term
when a ketone is used for mixed aldol condensation, what is the reaction called?
Definition
Claisen-Schmidt reaction
Term
describe the reaction used in crossed aldol condensation
Definition

benzaldehyde + acetone ---------> (E,E)-dibenzalacetone

NaOH

Term
what is the equation for absorbance?
Definition
A = Ecl where E is the molar extinction coefficient/molar absorbtivity
Term
why is (E,E) dibenzalacetone more stable than (E,Z) or (Z,Z)?
Definition

1. the p orbitals on its sp2 carbons overlap

2. steric reasons

3. it also stacks well with itself

Term
in the order of (Z,Z) --> (E,Z) --> (E,E), show the direction of increase of melting point, wavelength, molar absorbtivity, and Hf
Definition

melting point: ----------->

wavelength: ---------->

molar absorbtivity: ----------->

Hf: <---------

Term
to measure the absorbance of dibenzalacetone, dissolve it in...
Definition
HPLC grade methanol
Term
in the measurement of bibenzalacetone, what is the spectrophotometer we used?
Definition
40 UV/VIS
Term
what are the y-axis and x-axis of the 40 UV/VIS spectrophotometer?
Definition

y-axis: absorbance

x-axis: wavelength

Term
what are the unites for the A and wavelength of the crossed aldol condensation?
Definition
A has no units; wavelength is in cm
Term
describe the synthesis of aspirin
Definition
use salicylic acid and anhydride; react with phosphoric acid (H3PO4)
Term
how do you detect the presence of salicylic acid?
Definition
FeCl3 will turn purple
Term
what do we use as the NMR solvent for aspirin?
Definition
CDCl3
Term
what solvent did we use for aspirin TLC?
Definition
1:1 ratio of methylene chloride and ethanol
Term
if the Rf is smaller, that means the mobile phase was...
Definition
more polar
Term
why is water added to the aspirin after synthesis?
Definition
to decompose any unreacted anhydride
Term
why did we recrystallize the aspirin?
Definition
to prevent hydrolysis back into salicylic acid
Term
is the pinacol rearrangement exothermic or endothermic?
Definition
exothermic
Term
what method to we use in molecular modelling?
Definition
the semi-empirical method
Term
describe the synthesis of orange II dye
Definition
sulfanic acid with NaNO2 and HCl makes a diazonium salt; adding 2-napthol and NaOH gives you sulfonic dye
Term
what is the purpose of the SO3H group on sulfanic acid?
Definition
it makes the dye water soluble and interacts with ionic charges
Term
what happens when you reduce sulfonic dye with Na2SO4?
Definition
it breaks the N=N bond, reducing the conjugation and fading the orange color
Term
what is the difference between direct dying and developed dying?
Definition

direct dying: synthesizing the dye first, then dying the fabric

 

developed dying: synethsizing the dye WHILE dying the fabric

Term
describe the structure of cotton
Definition
made of cellulose, which is mostly carbon rings linked with oxygen - not too great with ionic charges/dying
Term
why do wool and silk bond well with sulfanic dye?
Definition
the polar SO3- of the sulfanic dye binds ionically with the charged parts of the R-groups of the wool and cotton polypeptides
Term
describe the dying affinity of nylon
Definition
it has some polar character, so it binds dye better than cotton but not as well as wool/silk
