# ELIMINATION REACTIONS-E1 AND E2

-
HI ALL..
HAPPY MORNING...

Today I wanna share with you some useful notes for the chemistry students regarding  Elimination Reactions in organic chemistry(Part-1)

#Elimination reactions in organic chemistry involves removal of two groups/substituents from adjacent carbon atoms to form new Pi bond(π). Practical point of view these reactions are useful for generation of double/Triple bonds in compounds from a saturated starting Material.

Eg: Dehydro halogenation of Alkyl halides to alkenes can be the best example here to explain well.


Elimination Reaction goes  through following events.

  1. removal of a proton
  2. formation of the C-C π bond
  3. leaving group(Halide group) bond breaking
Different mechanisms are possible due to time interval between different events
  1. E2 Reaction:Simultaneous removal of  H+ ,formation of new C=C bond and loss of the halide group(Leaving Group)-Involves One step
  2. E1 reaction:Formation of carbocation by removal of leaving group followed  by removal of  H+  with new C=C bond formation-Involves Two steps
  3. E1cb reaction:Initially carbanion formation by removal of  proton followed by C=C new bond formation with removal of leaving group-Involves Two steps
Factors:   
  1. Nature of  Base :Strong base favours E2 reaction and weak base/acidic medium favours E1     
  2. Nature of leaving group: I > Br > Cl > F  
  3. Nature of solvent : Aprotic solvent like DMF,DMSO favours E2, Protic solvents like Alcohols and acetic acid and water favours E1 reaction
  4.  Alkyl halide order of reactivity for both E1 AND E2 reactions is 30 > 20 >10         


   Thank you all....Soon I will post  PART-2 of Elimination reactions with detailed mechanisams.

#ASSAY OF ATROPINE

-
Image
Aim :  To report the amount of atropine present in the given tablet/powder/solution . Materials:  Burettes, pipettes, beakers, glassrod, funneletc Chemicals:  Perchloricacid, glacial acetic acid, PHP, Atropine sulphate Principle:             Assay of Atropine comes under non aqueous titration. Weak bases are dissolved in acetic acid and titrated with perchloricacid. Acetic acid which is frequently used as a solvent for titration of basic substances in non-aqueous titration. When strong acid like perchloric acid dissolve in acetic acid combines with protons donated by perchloricacid to form acetonium ion. Atropine in acetic acid exerts leveling effect and enhance basic property, accept a proton from acetonium ion forms protonated atropine and acetic acid. Crystal violet is used as an indicator. Procedure: Standardization of 0.1M Perchloric acid Place 0.02 gm of PHP in 100ml conical ...

#ASSAY OF CHLORPROMAZINE

Aim: To report the amount of chlorpromazine present in the given tablet/powder/solution . Apparatus : Burettes, pipettes, beakers, glass rod, funnel etc. Chemicals : Perchloric acid, acetone, mercuric acetate solution, chlorpromazine drug PHP(Potasium hydrogen Phthalate) Principle:            Assay of Chlorpromazine comes under non aqueous titration. In this assay the perchloric acid reacts with acetic acid and forms acetonium ion. Chlorpromazine in acetic acid acts as a base and accept a proton from acetonium ion and forms protonated chlorpromazine and acetic acid. The addition of mercuric acetate in the non-aqueous titrimetric method is based on the principle of removing the chloride counter ion so as to prevent the interference of the halide ion released by the titrant (acetous perchloric acid). The addition of mercuric acetate (which is undissociated in acetic acid) replaces the halide ion in chlorpromazine with a...

#PREPARATION OF 4-BENZYLIDENE-2-PHENYL OXAZOLE-5-ONE#

-
Image
Aim: To prepare and submit the pure product of 4-Benzylidine-2-Phenyl oxazole-5-one Apparatus: Round bottomed flask, Condenser, Water bath, Beaker, Funnel, Glass rod Chemicals: Benzaldehyde, Benzyl glycine, Sodium hydroxide, Acetic acid, Ethanol . Principle: Principle involved in the preparation of 4-Benzylidine-2-Phenyl oxazole-5-one is dehydration followed by cyclization method. The active methylene group react with aromatic aldehydes, Benzyl glycine reacts with benzaldehyde followed by dehydration gives 4-Benzylidine-2-Phenyl oxazole-5-one. Mechanism: Procedure: Take 3.25ml of   Benzaldehyde 5.5g of Benzyl glycine 19.5g NaOH, 2.5ml of Acetic acid in 100ml round bottom flask. Heat the reaction mixture in hot plate with a occasional stirring until the solid mixture convert to liquid.   Remove the flask & heat the mixture by using reflux condenser& add 12.2ml of   Ethanol carefully ...
