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 Organic Reactions 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 (NH 3 ) Oxidizers (ex. KMnO 4, Cr 2 O 7 2- ) Halogens (ex. Br 2 ) or Hydrohalogens (HBr) Catalysts (conc. H 2 SO 4, FeCl 3, 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 Synthesize all of these compounds using the simple compounds found in our lab N-ethyl-N-propyl ethanamide Hexyl ethanoate
