Written by Michael Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to learn about the use of carbanions and stablilized carbanions in synthesis through performing a synthesis that constructs a carbon-carbon bond. Another purpose of this experiment lies in the purification of an organic base using an acidic aqueous extraction. Experimental: All experimental procedure, observations, and data can be found in Appendix D. Results and Discussion: In the first step, we prepare triphenyl(4-pyridinylmethyl)phosphonium chloride.riphenyl(4-pyridinylmethyl)phosphonium chloride. After the reaction ran to completion, […]
