Methods of the determination of the organic molecules structure. Elemental analysis (determination of the Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Sulfur, halogens). Solving problems on output formulas.

2. Acidic and basic properties of the organic compounds. Classification of the organic reactions and reagents.

 

Aim: to learn: а) the basic principles of classification of the organic reagents and reactions. b) the acidic and basic properties of the organic compounds. c) to master the basic stages of the purification (different types of distillations) and identification of the unknown organic compound and execute the qualitative element analysis of the organic compounds.

 

Professional orientation of students:

For the successful mastering of material from the course of organic chemistry it is necessary to master the basic points of Butlerov’s theory of chemical structure. basic principles of classification, nomenclature and types of isomery of organic compounds. basic types of chemical bonds, electronic effects in the molecules of organic compounds. acid and basic properties of organic acids. types of organic acids and bases. Electrolytic, proton, electronic theories of acids and bases. classification of organic reactions and reagents. types of organic reactions and their mechanisms.

90 % medicinal preparations are the compounds of organic origin, and most methods which are used in pharmaceutical practice for extraction, purification and establishment of the structure of the medicinal preparations are chemical and physico-chemical. And that’s why it is necessary for future pharmacist to master the basic methods of the researching of the structure of organic compounds.

Types of distillation and their usage

The process of distillation is of the great importance among the numerous methods of purification and secretion of the organic compounds. The purpose of distillation is to divide the liquid components of mixture which have different temperatures of boiling.

Distillation is the process, when compounds which are in the mixture are transformed from mixture to steamy state by heating. steam is condensed in a liquid distillate in the condenser.

There are four types of distillation processes: Simple distillation, Vacuum distillation, Vigreux (Fractiona) distillation and Steam distillations.

Experiment 1. Simple distillation at atmospheric pressure and determination of boiling temperature.

Reagents: ethanol, benzene, chloroform, methanol, carbon tetrachloride.

Equipment and materials: Bunsen spirit lamp, laboratory stands, asbestos net, Vurts flask, thermometr, Libikh condenser, allonge, receiving flask.

Any liquid evaporates until pressure of its steam will not reach some point that is characteristic for this liquid at certain temperature. Pressure of the saturated steam does not depend on the amount of liquid which evaporates. With the increase of temperature the pressure grows and at certain temperature it reaches atmospheric pressure. This temperature is named the temperature of boiling of this compound. It is major physical and chemical description of liquid compound.

Simple distillation of compound at atmospheric pressure is used in following cases:

1. For verification of cleanness of compound by determination of boiling temperature and boiling temperature interval. Clean compounds are distillated in the interval of 1-2°С. For identification of compound it is necessary to compare received point of boiling temperature and the point of boiling temperature (at the same pressure) of the same compound from original literature.

2. For dividing of liquid from hard or compounds dissolved in it.

3. For dividing of mixtures of liquids, when their temperatures of boiling differ more than 80°С (for example, for dividing ether and phenol solution. boiling temperature of diethyl ether is 34,5°С, phenol — 183°С).

Technique of experiment. For simple distillation construct the device (fig. 1).

Fig. 1. The device for simple distillation of liquid compounds:1) Bunsen spirit lamp. 2) a ring with pincer and asbest net. 3) Vurts flask. 4) grip with pincer. 5) a thermometr. 6) stands. 7) Libikh condenser. 8) allonge. 9) a receiving flask.

 

In a flask pour a liquid which must be distillated and heat to its boiling. The temperature of boiling of every compound is determined in the moment of dropping the first drop of liquid from the condenser. Constancy of boiling point of liquid means about its cleanness.

Experiment 2. Fractional distillation and determination of boiling temperature of liquids.

Reagents: mixture of aniline and carbon tetrachloride.

Equipment and materials: Bunsen spirit lamp, laboratory stands, asbestos net, flask, deflegmator, thermometr, Libikh condenser, allonge, receiving flask.

Using this method divide liquids in mixture which differs by the boiling temperatures on 50-80 °С.

Technique of experiment. For execution of fractional distillation construct a device (fig. 2).

Fig. 2. A device for fractional distillation: 1) a flask. 2) deflegmator. 3) a thermometer. 4) a Libikh condenser. 5) allonge. 6) a receiving flask.

Pour in a flask the mixture of aniline and carbon tetrachloride, which is needed to be divided, and heat to boiling. Every liquid has its boiling temperature. The temperature of boiling of every compound is determined in the moment of dropping the first drop of liquid from the condenser.

Experiment 3. Distillation with aquatic steam.

Reagents: mixture of aniline and water.

Equipment and materials: laboratory stands, Keldal flask, Libikh condenser, allonge, receiving flask.

This type of distillation is used for the division of liquids which limitedly dissolve in water, for example, aniline, essential oils.

Technique of experiment. For work construct a device (fig.3).

Fig.3. A device for distillation with aquatic steam:1) steam-maker. 2) Keldal flask. 3) Libikh condenser. 4) allonge. 5) a receiving flask.

In Keldal flask pour 35 ml of aniline and 35 ml of water, heat steam-maker to formation of steam. Distillation lasts 1-1,5 hours. If the distillate is lees the distillation is over. For selection aniline add 25 g of salt to the distillate per each 100 ml of liquid and after complete dissolution of salt extract aniline by chloroform three times. Determine the boiling temperature of aniline.

Experiment 4. Distillation in vacuum.

Reagents: cyclohexanone, dimethylformamide, tetraline, o-toluidine.

Equipment and materials: laboratory stands, Claisen flask with a thermometer and capillary, condenser, allonge, receivers, glass, manometer, vacuum pump.

At the distillation of organic compounds with high boiling temperatures (more than 150°С). It is necessary to distillated in a vacuum. Reducing of pressure in a device is usually created by water or oily vacuum pump. For most organic compounds the reducing of pressure on 20 mm mercury reduces a boiling temperature on 100-120°С.

Attention! During work with a vacuum it is necessary to use round bottom flask only, it is necessary to wear protective glasses or mask.

Technique of experiment. For distillation in vacuum construct the device (fig. 4).

Fig.4. The device for vacuum distillation:1) Claisen flask. 2) capillary. 3) thermometer. 4) condenser. 5) an allonge-spider. 6) receivers. 7) glass. 8) a manometer.

Connect all parts of device. Check the impermeability of device before the beginning of work. Then pour the liquid in the half of flask, close it by a cork with a thermometer, turn in a pump and block connection of device with an atmosphere. Close a clamp on a capillary that through it air passes at the speed of 5-6 blisters per second. Open a manometer. After pressure is permanent the distillation begins. A compound must be distillated with the speed 1-2 drops per second.

After distillation stop the heating, cool the flask and align the pressure in a device.
