Reactions & Mechanisms: Solubility Testing & Flowchart  The main rule of thumb for solubility and solvents is “like dissolves like” meaning that nonpolar compounds  dissolve other nonpolar nonpolar compounds while polar compounds dissolve dissolve other polar compounds. compounds. Additionally, Additionally, solubility based on acid/base interactions depends on the acid/base strength of the compound to be dissolved  as well as the solvent – strong acids can dissolve weak bases that cannot be dissolved in weak acids, strong  bases can dissolve weak acids that cannot be dissolved in weak bases, weak acids dissolve strong bases, and  weak bases dissolve strong acids. Water (polar protic) – dissolves compounds with four or fewer carbons and also those containing • oxygen or nitrogen; dissolves ionic compounds 5% HCl (dilute acid) – dissolves basic compounds such as aliphatic amines that readily dissolve in acid • to form soluble HCl salts in aqueous solution

6. Ferric Chloride Chloride Test Reagents for Phenols:

Procedures & Observations: Solubility Tests:  1. Added 1 mL of each of the following to different test tubes – water, 5% NaOH, 5% NaHCO 3, 5% HCl, concentrated H2SO4, hexane, dichloromethane, ethanol, and diethyl ether. 2. Added a small amount of solid unknown #64. Unknown #64 was insoluble in H2O, 5% HCl, concentrated H2SO4, hexane, dichloromethane, and diethyl ether but soluble in 5% NaOH, 5% NaHCO3, and ethanol. Silver Nitrate (Ethanoic) Test for 3º, Allylic, & Benzylic Halides:  1. Added 0.5 mL of a 2% ethanolic AgNO 3 to test tube. 2. Under the fume hood added 1 drop of unknown #64 to test tube. Covered test tube with parafilm. No white precipitate noted. 3. Placed the test tube in a hot water bath for 5 minutes. Noted the formation of a white precipitate in the test tube. 4. Allowed test tubes to cool. Then added 2 drops of dilute HNO3. The precipitate dissolved in the nitric acid. 5. Unknown #64 had a negative silver nitrate test suggesting that it is not a halide. Baeyer Unsaturation Test for Non-Aromatic Alkenes & Alkynes:  1. Added 5 drops of unknown #64 to a test tube.

Experiment #21: Qualitative Qualitative Analysis Analysis to to Identify Unknown #64: Maleic Acid Acid 2. Slowly added 1% aqueous solution of potassium permanganate drop by drop while shaking the test tube to mix. Allowed the solution to sit for 5 minutes and observed a brown precipitate. 3. Unknown #64 had a positive Baeyer test suggesting that it has a non-aromatic alkene or alkyne group. Ferrous Hydroxide Test for Nitro Compounds:  1. Added 1.5 mL of a 5% ferrous ammonium sulfate solution to test tube. 2. Added 1 drop of unknown #64 to test tube. Tapped to mix. 3. Added 1 drop of 2M sulfuric acid and then 1 mL of a 2M potassium hydroxide solution in methanol to test tube. Covered with parafilm & shook vigorously to mix. Noted an army green colored precipitate. 4. Unknown #64 had a negative ferrous hydroxide test suggesting that it is not a nitro compound. 2,4-Dinotrophenylhydrazine Test for Aldehydes & Ketones:  1. Added 5 drops of unknown #64 to a test tube. 2. Added 1 mL of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, covered with parafilm, and shook gently to mix. No precipitate formation noted. 3. Allowed test tubes to sit for 15 minutes and noted no changes. Gently heated test tubes #2 and #3 in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Unknown #64 remained a golden yellow, clear liquid with no precipitate formation. 4. Unknown #64 had a negative 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine test suggesting that it is neither an aldehyde or a ketone. Nitrous Acid Test for 1º, 2º, 3º, & Aromatic Amines:  1. Added 2 mL distilled water to a test tube labeled #1. 2. Added 8 drops of concentrated H2SO4 to same test tube. Then added 6 drops of unknown #64. Sulfuric acid provides the proton for nitrous acid formation and also keeps the diazo dye coupling reaction from occurring prematurely. 3. Added 2 mL of a 10% aqueous sodium nitrite solution to test tube #2, and dissolved 0.1 g β-naphthol in 2 mL of aqueous 10% NaOH solution to test tube #3. The sodium nitrite will provide the nitrite ion to form nitrous acid. 4. Placed all 3 test tubes in an ice water bath at ~ 5˚C to stabilize the diazonium ion that can be formed by the reaction of 1º or aromatic amines with nitrous acid. 5. Added cold sodium nitrite solution dropwise to tube #1 and gently shook to mix. No precipitate, gas formation, or oily drops noted. 6. Poured half of the solution from test tube #1 into another test tube and allowed it to return to room temperature. No precipitate or gas formation noted. 7. Added 0.5 mL β-naphthol drop by drop to the solutions that remained in the ice bath. No precipitate formation. No sign of azo-dye coupling reaction. 8. Unknown #64 had a negative nitrous acid test suggesting that it is not a 1°, 2°, 3°, or aromatic amine. Ferric Chloride Test Reagents for Phenols:  1. Added a pea-sized amount of unknown #64 to a test tube. Dissolved in a small amount of ethanol. Covered with parafilm and shook gently to mix. 2. Added 7 drops of 2.5% ferric chloride solution to the test tube and shook gently to mix. No dramatic color change noted. 3. Unknown #64 had a negative ferric chloride test suggesting that it does not contain a phenol group.

Conclusions: The experiment was completed per protocol with observations as noted. Specific results have been presented in tabular format in the “Results” section. The solubility tests showed that unknown #64 was a polar aprotic compound and a strong organic acid. Using the solubility flowchart, it was determined that unknown #64 was a carboxylic acid or perhaps a phenol. Chemical classification tests showed that unknown #64 was an alkene or alkyne and that it was not a phenol; therefore, unknown #64 was determined to be a carboxylic acid with a double or triple bond. Both NMRs showed that the molecule was symmetrical with analysis presented on attached spectra. IR analysis showed a deep depression in 3300 to 2500cm-1 range that is consistent with a carboxylic acid. Melting point allowed for the identification of unknown #64 as maleic acid. UNKNOWN #64 is MALEIC ACID.
