Can anyone help me to write a well organized procedure? I have another picture of other procedure but the product is solid so it will be somehow different k procedure You may wse anything that is wvailahãe in yow eqament es s that you have wsed this semester or anything you ean getto calculatethe%yield to look up any information, it is all here. Workug Reaction time é 16 hours at reflux O viscous HO-S-OH len Sodium sulfate O liquid dodecanol Ci2H2OH sta Ci7H3CO,H Amount used-100a stearic acid swlfuric acid (catalyst) colorless white dodecyl carat Cpae whie FW -4528 als FW= 186.33 d 0.833 FW= 284.48 (* dodecanol is MP 68°CB MP = 68 °C , I OTH a Literature: MP-410°C the Experimental: MP-40 BP- 261 °Ca CA mount useoK 6.00 mt f 375mg Amount used reactant and the solvent is over, extractions, purifications, tration etc

Explanation / Answer

The procedure is as follows:

1. In an oven dried 25 mL. round bottom flask, take 6 mL. of dodecanol using a 10 mL. syringe.

2. Weigh 375 mg of Stearic acid using an analytical balance and transfer the whole amount to the flask at a time.

3. Stir the mixture for two minutes.

4. Now add 100 microlitres of concentrated sulfuric acid using a microlitre syringe to the mixture.

5. Set a reflux condensor to the mouth of the flask and set the flask inside an oil-bath.

6. Now, set the system to reflux with continous stirring (magnetic stir bar)

7. Continue refluxing for 16 hours.

8. After 16 hours, cool the reaction mixture at room temperature.

9. After the reaction mixture comes to room temperature, transfer it completely in a separating funnel and extract it with 5% NaHCO3 solution (three times, 3*10 mL. solution)

10. Collect the organic layer in a clean conical flask and add anhydrous sodium sulfate to it for drying.

11. Filter the solution using a buchner funnel and collect the filtrate (organic layer). Evaporate the solvent using a rotatory evaporator to collect a solid mass. This is your crude product (the ester)

12. Recrystallise the crude product from toluene to obtain the pure product.
