  • official English version available on request for clarification only. Ask your lab assistant.
  • after the stop signal put your booklet aside and leave it at your working table.
  • You must stop your work immediately after the stop signal has been given. A 5 min delay will result in zero points for the current task.

Techn. points501266680

Aldehydes and ketones are among most commonly used organic compounds. Application of these substances often requires easy methods of their identification. Hydrazones are produced as a result of hydrazine interaction with aldehydes or ketones under appropriate conditions. Due to well characterized properties and distinctive appearance, hydrazones are often used for such identification.

In this task you will have to identify two substituted benzaldehydes (shown below) by studying the products of their reactions with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine.

Structural formulas of the two substituted benzaldehydes: on the left 2,3-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (benzene ring with a CHO group and two adjacent O–CH3 groups), on the right 4-bromobenzaldehyde (benzene ring with CHO at the top and Br at the bottom).

Procedure

A. Preparation of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones

Attention! Do not try to carry out two syntheses simultaneously!

Equip the 50 (or 100) mL beaker with the magnetic bar. Fix the beaker on the stirrer using the metal ring attached to the stand. Place the content of on a vial labeled “2,4-DNPH” into the beaker and start stirring carefully. Only in the presence of your lab assistant, carefully pour the concentrated sulfuric acid (1 mL) from one plastic bottle with screw cap onto the solid. Using pipettes add 1.6 mL of water and 4 mL of ethanol to the reaction mixture. Then using a pipette add slowly the whole solution of one of the aldehydes (you can start with any of the aldehydes!). Bright precipitate starts forming at once. Continue stirring for 10 min, then add 10 mL of water and stir for another 3 min.

B. Product separation and purification

Assemble the filtering apparatus: fix the found-bottom flask to the stand, attach the vacuum hose to the adapter, place the latter into the flask, and apply the glass filter to the adaptor. Transfer the reaction product together with the stirring bar onto the filter. Turn on the water-jet pump and filter out the precipitate. Put a little amount of water in the beaker and transfer the leftover product onto the filter. Wash the solid on the filter 3 times with 20 mL water portions mixing the suspension the with glass rod. Then wash the solid three times with 5 mL portions of ethanol. Dry out the solid on the filter with working water-jet pump, loosening and squeezing the product with the glass rod from time to time. (Once you have arranged vacuum drying of the first product, you can start synthesizing the second one – see Section C). After ca. 20-40 min carefully transfer the dried powder into the pre-weighed weighing bottle labeled with the same product number as the aldehyde sample for the final drying in the air (do not close the weighing bottle!). Put the weighing bottle with the product in a safe place (e.g. on the shelf).

Always remove the vacuum hose from the adaptor before turning off the water-jet pump!

Keep the water-jet pump turned off when not using it.

As soon as your product seems dry, remove the stirring bar with tweezers and weigh the product. Fill in Table 1.

Note: The products you have synthesized will be further re-examined by the lab staff.

C. Synthesis, separation and purification of the second product

Move the clamp with the filtering apparatus aside and continue drying the first product. Meanwhile, put the magnetic stirrer on the stand base and repeat the above synthetic and purification procedures with the other starting aldehyde. When finished, fill in the second column of Table 1.

2. Write down the structures of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and the products. [12 т.]

A hydrazone color is mainly dependent on the substituents present in the benzene ring. The electron-donor groups are responsible for the wavelength of maximum absorption closer to the red range of the spectrum, whereas the electron-acceptor ones do not produce strong effect.

3. Based on the above information, assign numbers 1 or 2 to appropriate aldehydes. Calculate the percent yields of both hydrazones.

2,3-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde (benzene ring with a CHO group and two adjacent O–CH3 groups), drawn in the left answer box above its 'Number:' line.
4-Bromobenzaldehyde (benzene ring with CHO at the top and Br at the bottom), drawn in the right answer box next to its 'Number:' line.

Yield Number 2 _________________ % [6 т.]

The scheme of 2,4-DNHP synthesis is given below.

Synthesis scheme: benzene → (Cl2, FeCl3) → [empty bracket] → (HNO3 conc., H2SO4 conc., 130 °C) → [empty bracket] → (N2H4, EtOH/H2O, t°) → 2,4-DNHP.

4. Draw the structures of the intermediates. [6 т.]

5. Choose the mechanism of the latter reaction from the variants given below (tick the appropriate box)

  • ☐ Aromatic nucleophylic substition
  • ☐ Nucleophylic substitution SN1_1
  • ☐ Nucleophylic substitution SN2_2
  • ☐ Free radical reaction
  • ☐ Electrophylic substitution in aromatic ring [6 т.]
