Chapter 1 Organic synthesis

1.1 Preparation of m-Dinitrobenzene

Aim: To synthesize a pure sample of m-dinitrobenzene by nitration of nitrobenzene.

Principle: Nitration of aromatic compounds containing electron releasing groups (OH, NH2 etc) is carried out under milder conditions because the aromatic nucleus is activated.

In case the aromatic compound containing an electron withdrawing group (NO2, SO3H, CHO, CO2H) the nitration requires drastic conditions (i.e.,) use of fuming HNO3 and concentrated H2SO4 as nitrating agents.

Type of reaction: Electrophilic Substitution Reaction on Aromatic ring (Nitration).

Apparatus: Round bottom flask (RBF), Air condenser, beaker, suction pump.

Chemicals required: 5ml nitrobenzene, 7ml fuming nitric acid, 10ml concentrated H2SO4.

Procedure: 1. Prepare nitrating mixture by placing 7ml of fuming nitric acid in a clean dry Round bottom flask (RBF). To this carefully add, with shaking 10ml of concentrated H2SO4 and a fragment of porcelain. 2. To the nitrating mixture add 5ml nitrobenzene in very small lots with constant shaking. After Adding whole of nitrating mixture shake the Round bottom flask (RBF) for 5 minutes. 3. Fix the air condenser and heat the flask on boiling water bath for 1 hour. Shake the flask vigorously from time to time throughout this period of heating. 4. After heating allow the Round bottom flask (RBF) to cool to room temperature. Finally pour this mixture carefully with vigorous stirring into a beaker containing crushed ice. The heavy oily dinitrobenzene will rapidly solidify.

Re-crystallization: Rectified spirit or alcohol.

Yield: 5.6g.

Melting Point: 89-900C.

1.2 Preparation of m-Nitroaniline

Aim: To synthesize a pure sample of m-nitroaniline by selective reduction of m-dinitrobenzene.

Principle: m-nitroaniline unlike o and p-nitroaniline cannot be prepared by direct nitration of Aniline. It has therefore to be prepared by reducing only one of the nitro groups in m-Dinitrobenzene. This selective reduction can be achieved by boiling an aqueous suspension of m-Dinitrobenzene with sodium disulphide. Sodium disulphide is prepared in situ by the addition of Sulphur to sodium sulphide solution. In these circumstances the dinitrobenzene is readily reduced to m-nitroaniline, the sodium disulphide being oxidized to sodium thiosulphate.

Types of reaction: partial reduction or selective reduction.

Apparatus: 500ml beaker sand bath burette, glass funnel.

Chemicals required: 2.5g m-dinitrobenzene, 1g-sulphur, 4 g-sodium sulphide, 200ml-water.

Procedure: 1. Preparation of sodium disulphide: Add 1 g of finely powdered sulphur to a solution of 4 g of crystalline sodium sulphide in 60ml water. Boil the mixture gently for a few a minutes until a clear solution of sodium disulphide is obtained. 2. Heat 2.5g of pure m-dinitrobenzene in 150ml of water in a 500ml beaker on sand bath until the water boils gently. 3. Transfer the sodium disulphide solution into a burette and clamp the burette in position such that the end of the burette is immediately above the beaker. 4. Allow the sodium disulfide solution to fall drop by drop into boiling water at such a rate that the total addition takes 10-15minutes throughout this period keep the molten dinitrobenzene continuously dispersed as fine drops and not allowed to settle to the bottom. 5. When the addition of sodium disulphide is complete, boil the solution gently for a 20 minutes and quickly filer the solution using a hot water funnel. 6. A small quantity of elementary sulphur remains in the filter paper. The pale brown filtrate rapidly deposits yellow crystals of m-nitroaniline.

Re-crystallization: Hot water.

Melting point: 1140C

Precautions:

1. The crystalline sodium sulphide (Na2S.9H2O) is very deliquescent, and only a sample which has been kept in a well Stoppard bottle and therefore reasonably dry should be used. 2. Avoid using animal charcoal during re-crystallization as it is liable to absorb and appreciable quantity of the m-nitroaniline.

1.3 Preparation of Hippuric Acid:

Aim: To synthesize a pure sample of hippuric Acid from glycine and benzoyl chloride.

Principle: Hippuric Acid can be synthesized by N-benzoylation of glycine. The benzoylation of hydroxyl and amino compounds in the presence of excess of cold aqueous base is called Schotte Baumann reaction. In Schotte-Baumann reaction N- Benzoylation or O- Benzoylation is carried out in the presence of cold aqueous NaOH. The excess of sodium hydroxide reacts with excess of un-reacted benzoyl chloride to give NaCl and sodium benzoate, which remains in solution.

Type of reaction: N-benzoylation.

Apparatus: Iodination flask, beaker, litmus paper, watch glass.

Chemicals required: glycin-2.5g, 25ml-10%NaOH, 4.5ml-Benzoyl chloride, CCl4-10ml.

Procedure: 1. in a clean dry iodination flask dissolve 2.5g glycine in 25ml of 10% NaOH 2. To this add 4.5ml benzoyl chloride in two lots. 3. After each addition, the flask is Stoppard and shaken vigorously until all the chloride has reacted. 4. Transfer the solution to a beaker and rinse the conical flask with a little water. 5. Place some crushed ice in the solution and concentrated HCl slowly with stirring until the mixture is acid to litmus paper. 6. Filter at pump. The crystalline benzoyl glycine obtained is contaminated with benzoic acid. 7. Place the solid in a beaker with 10ml CCl4, cover the beaker with a watch glass and boil gently for 10minutes on electric hot water bath. A pinch of animal charcoal may be added at this point. This extracts any benzoic acid which may be present.

Yield: 4.5g

Cool to room temperature and pour in a beaker containing cold water. Azlactone separates out. 6. Add alcohol and allow it to stand for 10 minutes. Filter at pump.

Re-crystallization: the product obtained is almost pure. If required re-crystallization can be carried out using benzene as solvent

Yield: 2.7g

Melting point: the yield of the compound is almost pure with a melting point of 165-1660C. Re-crystallization with benzene raises the melting point to 167-1680C.

1.5 Preparation of phthalimide:

Aim: To synthesize a pure sample of phthalimide from phthalic anhydride and urea.

1.7 Preparation of Anthracene-Maleic anhydride adduct

Aim: To synthesize a pure sample of anthracene-maleic adduct from anthracene and maleic anhydride.

Principle: Anthracene acts as a conjugated diene system. The double bond in maleic Anhydride is activated by the presence of two carbonyl groups. Therefore maleic Anhydride behaves as a dienophile. The thermal (4+2) cycloaddition reaction between diene (anthracene) and dienophile (maleic anhydride) is called Diels alder reaction. The product of Diels alder reaction is called an Adduct.

Type of reaction: Diels- Alder reaction. (Cycloaddition reaction)

Procedure: 1. Take 1g of anthracene, 0.5g-maleic anhydride, dry xylene 13 ml in a clean dry Round bottom flask (RBF). 2. Add a porcelain piece and boil under reflux for 20minutes. 3. During the early stages of heating, keep the mixture gently shaken until a clear solution is obtained, otherwise a portion of the reagents may adhere to the base of the flask and darken because of local overheating. 4. After boiling for 20 minutes, immediately filter using hot water funnel. Cool the solution, when the addition product will rapidly crystallize. 5. Filter at the pump and dry.

Note: 1.The crude is almost pure therefore re-crystallization is not required. Otherwise re-crystallization can be done with 50ml xylene. 2. Preheat the funnel if you are re-crystallizing the crude compound because the crystals tend to solidify very quickly.
