Step 1: SYNTHESIS OF BENZOIN
The Benzoin Condensation is a coupling reaction between two aldehydes that allows the preparation of α-hydroxyketones. This method is only suitable for the conversion of aromatic aldehydes.
The reaction is catalyzed by KCN which produces cyanide (CN −) ions in solution.
Please note that the benzaldehyde used should be freshly distilled (to remove any benzoic acid).

Cyanide is VERY TOXIC and may be fatal, even at low concentrations.
Cyanide ions, in the present of acid, produces HCN gas , which is lethal at 300ppm, so NO ACID should ever be poured in that sink even in the hood.
This experiment should be done in the fume hood. Dispose of cyanide waste as directed by your lab
instructor.

Mp 122-123 oC Mp 137-139 oC
Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is commonly used as a
source of hydride (H−).
Hydrobenzoin is formed as different isomers.
FELKIN-ANH/CRAM’S RULE
When there is a chiral center at the carbon next to the carbonyl (the α carbon), there is a preference for which side the nucleophile will attack.
According to the Felkin-Ahn model, the more favorable conformation for the molecule is either A or B.
Conformation A will be favored over conformation B because there will be less steric repulsion between GS and R1.
Step 2. SET UP
• Dissolve 1 g benzoin in 10 ml of EtOH in 50 ml Erlenmeyer flask.
• Add 0.2 g NaBH4 in small portions with swirling.
• The reaction mixture was swirled at rt. for 20 min.
• Cool the flask in ice bath, add 15 ml water, then 0.5 ml 6 M HCl. Add 5 ml more water and continue swirling the flask for 20 more min.
• Collect the product by filtration and wash with H2O.
• Crystallize the solid using EtOH/water, dry the crystals overnight. Check the color and weight.
• Determine the mp.(to determine which isomer formed) And IR spectrum of dried crystals.
CAUTION
NaBH4 is very reactive with water. Do not use near the
sink or where water is close by.
Be careful when stopping the reaction with HCl and
water. Add slowly to the cooled reaction mixture.

• Place 10 g of benzoin in 100 ml flask, add 34 ml conc. HNO3.
• Heat the flask gently on steam bath for 30-40 min. with swirling.
• Cool the mixture in ice bath, pour the contents into 250 ml of water containing some ice. Break up the lumps of yellow benzil. Collect the product by filtration and wash with ice cold EtOH.
• Recrystallize the product with minimum MeOH, dry your crystals. Check the color and weight.
• Determine the mp.
CAUTION
Concentrated HNO3 is very corrosive and is an
oxidizer. Be VERY careful when handling this reagent
in the lab.
NO2 gas is evolved in this reaction, please DO NOT
inhale these fumes.

ALDOL CONDENSATION: Dehydration
• Condensation is pushed forward via dehydration.• This involves deprotonation of another alpha proton followed by
loss of hydroxide.• The formation of the ,-unsaturated system compensates for the
hydroxides poor leaving ability.• Acid or based catalyzed dehydration is promoted at higher
temperatures.

Step 4. SET UP
• Place 0.01 mol of benzil, 0.01 mol dibenzyl ketone and 10 ml triethylene glycol in 50 ml flask, heat the mixture to be dissolved on hot plate then remove from heat.
• Make the base (1 ml of 40% benzyl trimethyl ammonium hydroxide in MeOH in a test tube).
• Place a thermometer into the flask, when it reach 100 °C, then add the base. Swirl once to mix then remove from heat. Crystallization will start in 10-15 min.
• When the temperature drops to 80 °C, cool the flask under tap water, then add 10 ml MeOH. Stir or swirl to a slurry, collect the product and wash with cold MeOH until the filtrate is dark purple-pink, dry your crystals.
• Check the weight of product, Determine the mp. (if the product is impure it can be crystallized from triethylene glycol at 220 °C)
Step 5: DIEL’S-ALDER reaction
This reaction involves the addition of an alkene to a conjugated diene. It is a concerted reaction that forms a cyclic product, via a cyclic
transition state. Hence it is called “cycloaddition”. The reaction is found to be promoted by having electron donating
groups on the diene (i.e. electron rich) and electron withdrawing groups on the alkene (i.e. electron deficient).

Step 5. SET UP
• Add 0.005 mol of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (step 4 product) and 0.0075 mol dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate in 10 ml of o-dichlorobenzene in 100 ml rbf with a boiling chip. Attach a condenser (no water flowing).
• Heat gently in hood to boil (CO evolution) about 10-15 min until no more color change. Control the vapor not to rise into the condenser. (if your starting material is pure, the pure adduct is white, so watch the color changes from purple to pale tan.)
• Cool to 100 °C (thermometer) and add 15 ml MeOH, then stir slowly to let crystallization proceed. Cool and collect the product by filtration, then wash with cold MeOH.
• Determine the mp. Weight of the product, color.
NMR Spectroscopy
1H, 13C, 15N, 19F and 31P all have nuclear spin that can be exploited by organic chemist to deduce a compounds structure.
Different types of protons/carbons are represented by a specific chemical shift in a NMR spectra.
NMR: continued
There are three major factors that influence chemical shift ():
The deshielding effect: Is the result of electronegative groups reducing the electron density around 1H and 13C nuclei which allows these nuclei to be exposed to a higher magnetic field, resulting in an increase in their chemical shift ().
NMR: continued
Anisotropic effect: Due to magnetic fields generated by π-systems. Depending on the position of a proton in this field, it can be
either shielded (smaller ) or desheilded (larger ).
NMR: continued
Hydrogen Bonding Protons involved in H-bonding( e.g. OH, NH) are
deshielded and observed over a large range of chemical shifts.
Leaves the assignment of OH or NH to the end. Or use D2O to identify those peaks.
NMR: continued
Interpreting 1H-NMR How many types of Hs are present? Indicated by the
number of chemical shifts in the spectra. What types of Hs are present? Indicated by the position of
the chemical shifts in the spectra. How many of each type of H are present? Indicated by the
area under each chemical shift, which is proportional to the number of protons.
What is the connectivity of the Hs? Indicated by the splitting pattern of the chemical shift.
NMR: continued
13C-NMR
• 13C has only 1.1% natural abundance versus 100% 1H, therefore is about 400 times less sensitive than 1H nucleus to NMR.
• Due to this low abundance, 13C-13C coupling is not seen.
• The peaks in 13C spectra are shown as single lines and the number of peaks indicate the number of types of carbons present.
• Chemical shifts for 13C-NMR spectra usually occur between 0-220 ppm.
