Question

lhe initial reaction will be slightly exothermic, and you then will maintain temperature by heating the flask in a warm 45 °C) water bath. Following a complete reaction, you will then quench any remaining oxidant and isolate the crude cyclohexanone product by extraction and column chromatography. Determine your yield and characterize your ketone product using IR spectroscopy. this Reagent Table Cyclohexanol Sodium hypochlorite Acetic Acid Cyclohexanone MW (g/mol) 100.20 74.44 60.05 16-17 118-119 1.049 0.1 98.14 58.08 mp (Cc) bp (C) 161 density (g/mL)0.960 0.150 157 0.970 56 0.784 0.78 9 mL mmol equiv 6.0 (6% ag.

Explanation / Answer

Oxidation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone

limiting reactant = cyclohexanol

1 mol of cyclohexanol gives 1 mol of cyclohexanone

moles of cyclohexanol = 1.5 mmol

moles of product formed = 1.5 mmol

theoretical yield of cyclohexanone = 1.5 mmol x 98.14 g/mol/1000

                                                       = 0.150 g
