Organic Chemistry

1. Organic Chemistry Synthesis of Organic Compounds

2. Learning Goals Students will: • Understand that organic compounds can be synthesized in the lab using chemical reactions that they have learned. • Apply their knowledge of OrganicReactions • Understand that the synthesis of organic compounds often requires a series of reactions(see flow chart on the next slide)

3. Success Criteria Students will be able to: • apply the correct organic reaction at each step • Use the organic reaction flow chart to choose the correct synthesis path • Understand the condition under which reaction occurs (catalysts, heat, pressure, etc.)

5. The Organic Chemistry Lab • Lab Equipment • Chemicals • Catalysts • Safety Materials • Fume Hood

6. Supplies for our Organic Chemistry Lab Our lab contains the following Chemicals: • Any alkene or alkane you wish • Ammonia (NH3) • Oxidizers (ex. KMnO4, Cr2O72-) • Halogens (ex. Br2) or Hydrohalogens (HBr) • Catalysts (conc. H2SO4, FeCl3, Pt, etc.) • Sources of heat and pressure • Separation and purification equipment

7. Prepare ethyl pentanoate from a primary alcohol and ethene.

10. Prepare 1-aminopropane (propanamine), a primary amine, from propane and ammonia.

13. Prepare a tertiary amine starting with alkenes and ammonia.

16. Try these: pentanoic acid N-methyl aminobutane Hexyl ethanoate N-ethyl-N-propyl ethanamide Synthesize all of these compounds using the simple compounds found in our lab
