Wittig - Guides d'étude, Notes de cours & Résumés

(3E)-4phenyl-3-buten-2-one was synthesized using Green utilising a Wittig reaction between Benzaldehyde and Methyl (triohenylphosphoranylidene) acetate. A product of (3E)-4phenyl3-buten-2-one was obtained and its mass was calculated to be 0.36g and the %yield was calculated to be 29%. The retention factors were calculated to be 0.35 and 0.19 for Benzaldehyde and the product respectively.

Three types of reaction are explained in these notes with mechanism of reaction.

In depth notes including plenty of reactions and diagrams and breakdowns of mechanisms

I got a 1st in my first year studying chemistry at the University of Birmingham using these revision notes that I have uploaded. They include detail on the structure and bonding of alkenes, consequences of the pi bond, E- and Z- isomers, stability of alkenes, bonding and geometry of alkynes, acidity of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, elimination (making alkenes from alkyl halides), the Wittig Reaction, synthesis of alkenes from alkynes, dissolving metal reduction, synthesis of alkynes from differe...
