Midterm Key is in ERES file Class Average: 75.5 High: 100 Low: 27 Today: “Unknowns”: - Brief Review of Preliminary tests and Solubilities - Aldehydes and Ketones - Alcohols and Phenols (Unknown #1) Family Science Night Volunteers: Please see me after class Next time: Carboxylic acids Esters Amines (Unknown #2) Preliminary Tests • Mp. (range!) for solids • Bp., refractive index for liquids • Ignition test • Test for unsaturation • Beilstein test for halogen (p.626) Solubility Tests (pp. 626 – 627) What type of information do you get if your unknown 1. is soluble in water? 2. is soluble in NaOH and in NaHCO3? 3. is soluble in NaOH only, not in NaHCO3? 4. is soluble in dilute HCl solution? 5. is soluble only in conc H2SO4? 6. is not soluble in any of the above solvents? Aldehydes and Ketones functional group? • Preliminary tests • Solubility • Classification tests • Derivatives • Spectra •Typical properties? Mp.? Bp.? • Solubility? Classification Tests for Aldehydes and Ketones • Preliminary tests • Solubility • Classification tests • Derivatives 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone • Spectra also a good derivative! 1. What are desirable properties of a derivative? 2. What is the purpose of preparing a derivative? Aldehydes and Ketones • Preliminary tests To distinguish between aldehydes and ketones: • Classification tests • Solubility • Derivatives • Spectra • Tollens Test: • Jones (chromic acid): check reagent! Test is also positive for …..? • Schiff reagent: check reagent! Always do with a known compound to compare! Aldehydes and Ketones Derivatives • Preliminary tests • Solubility • Classification tests • Derivatives Imines: 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone oxime semicarbazone • Spectra • Preliminary tests • Solubility • Classification tests • Derivatives • Spectra Question…. • What characteristics would you look for – in the IR spectrum of an aldehyde – In the HNMR of an aldehyde – In the CMR of an aldehyde? Aldehydes and Ketones IR: H-NMR: Alcohols and Phenols Solubility distinction? • Preliminary tests • Solubility • Classification tests • Derivatives • Spectra Solubility: Alcohols: “neutral”; Phenols: very weak acids, pKa around 10, except nitrophenols! Classification tests (many also positive with amines…): • Jones • Lucas test for 3o alcohols, 2o alcohols (slow): • Phenols only: Complexation with Fe 3+ OCH 3 OH Anthocyanin Colors + O HO OCH 3 O - glucose OH Cl Malvidin an anthocyanin in blue grapes - • Preliminary tests Alcohol and Phenol Derivatives • Solubility • Classification tests • Derivatives • with 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride • Spectra • urethanes Similarly: Naphthyl urethanes Phenols only: Bromoderivatives • Preliminary tests • Solubility • Classification tests • Derivatives • Spectra IR: H-NMR: Exchange with D2O Alcohols Phenols IR H-NMR Next time: • Carboxylic Acids and Esters • Amines Review this class!
