experiment Benzophenone, which is nonpolar and has a polar carbonyl group, was analyzed as partially soluble in methyl alcohol and hexane but insoluble in water. This is because the ketone carbonyl group in Benzophenone will make the molecule slightly polar and thus partially soluble in the intermediately polar solvent methanol and nonpolar solvent hexane due to Benzophenone mostly being highly nonpolar and hexane being nonpolar. However water is highly polar and therefore benzophenone does not dissolve
electrophile , to form a chemical bond (James). The nucleophile that will be used is phenylmagnesium bromide. They react with aldehydes to form secondary alcohols or react with ketones to form tertiary alcohols. Since benzophenone is a ketone, a tertiary alcohol will be formed. Benzophenone is the electrophile. A Grignard reagents is important to organic synthesis and can be easily prepared using an organic halide, turnings, and an ether solvent Weldergirma). Grignard reagents are also strong bases and
In Part A, each of the three solid organic compounds were found to be a different polarity. Benzophenone was insoluble in water, rendering it not polar. This compound was also partially soluble in a nonpolar solvent, hexane, but completely soluble in methyl alcohol. Therefore, benzophenone has intermediate polarity. Malonic acid is a polar compound, because it is soluble in water, and biphenyl is a nonpolar compound – it was found to be soluble
