CONCLUSION• The Grignard reactions are generally used by chemists due to its versatility. In
this experiment, the syntheses of phenylmagnesium bromide, the Grignard reagent, and triphenylmethanol were performed.
• The synthesis of Grignard reagent must take place in an inert and anhydrous solvent, ideally anhydrous diethyl ether, using bromobenzene and magnesium solid. The reaction is exothermic and must be kept closed until reaction ceases to prevent water contamination. This is the most crucial stage of the synthesis since absence of water must be maintained.
• The Grignard reagent must be reacted immediately with the ketone, benzophenone, to form the alkoxide and upon acidification, the product, triphenylmethanol is formed. The product was dried, weighed and subjected to Thin Layer Chromatography.

CONCLUSION• The mass of the crude extract is 0.328 g. The mobile phase used is 1 DCM:5
petroleum ether. The results for TLC shows that the synthesis and isolation of the desired product is unsuccessful. This is further confirmed by melting point determination, the melting range of the product was 43-47°C. The IR spectra of the product is similar with benzophenone, one of the reactants. It is concluded that the synthesis of phenylmagnesium bromide was successful and the synthesis for triphenylmethanol was not.

RECOMMENDATION• In performing the experiment for the synthesis of phenylmagnesium bromide, it
is highly recommended to keep the system dry and free from contamination. All glasswares must be preheated at least 30 minutes to ensure dryness and cleanliness.
• It is recommended to use analytic grade anhydrous diethyl ether, use proper container and proper transferring must be done to ensure water-free ether. The magnesium, bromobenzene and benzophenone must be dried also.
• For the activation of magnesium, it is recommended to use iodine as activator for magnesium and indicator for the reaction so as to avoid the exposure of the mixture to air.
• It is recommended to perform TLC analysis as frequent as possible to monitor the progress of the reaction and the formation of the product.
