Alcoholism Distinct patterns of brain activity are linked to greater rates of relapse among alcohol dependent patients in early recovery‚ a study has found. The research‚ supported by the National Institutes of Health‚ may give clues about which people in recovery from alcoholism are most likely to return to drinking. "Reducing the high rate of relapse among people treated for alcohol dependence is a fundamental research issue‚" said Kenneth R. Warren‚ Ph.D.‚ acting director

Introduction In a Grignard reaction‚ a Grignard reagent (R–MgX) adds to the carbonyl group in an aldehyde or ketone to form an alcohol (Figure 1). The reaction of a Grignard reagent with formaldehyde can be to synthesize a primary alcohol‚ with any other aldehyde can be used to synthesize a secondary alcohol‚ while the reaction with ketone is useful in the synthesis of a tertiary alcohol. Figure 1. General reaction mechanism of a Grignard Reaction The preparation of the Grignard reagent involves the adding

the addition of an organometallic to an aldehyde/ketone will not (usually) work as R- (i.e. H- or CH3-) is a bad leaving group - addition of a Grignard reagent to an aldehyde/ketone = stable tetrahedral intermediate (alkoxide) - addition of an alcohol to a carbonyl group in the presence of a base = unstable intermediate (hemiacetal/hydrate) - nucleophiles with good leaving groups (anions i.e. Cl-‚ RO-‚ RCO2-) = unstable - starting carbonyl compound with good leaving group = unstable (makes

drops of Br2/CCl4 to test for unsaturation. The mixture turned colorless‚ a positive sign for the presence of a double bond that 4-methylcyclohexene contains. The second test mixed a few drops of the product with KMnO4 to test for the presence of alcohol. The color changed to brown‚ indicating the presence of the desired product. A drop of the product was also tested with IR spectroscopy. There were peaks at both 1600cm-1 and 3300cm-1 which are indicative of an alkene. 1600cm-1 correlates with the

Introduction: The Grignard reagents are alkyl magnesium halides‚ R-Mg-X were first introduced in 1900. These reagents are usually prepared by reacting one atom with one molecule or by other means magnesium and alkyl halide in the presence of dry alcohol free ether.

because different substances require differing amounts of energy to evaporate. To test this‚ the temperature change from the evaporation of 4 different alcohols was measured and compared‚ along with cyclohexane. Methanol had the largest change in temperature‚ 18.9 ºC. This indicates that methanol has the weakest intermolecular attractions out of the 4 alcohols‚ because it evaporated the most. This may be because methanol is a small molecule so it has less electrons and therefore is not as polarizable as

by : Directorate of Education‚ Delhi SOME IMPORTANT REASONING BASED QUESTIONS OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 1. Chlorobenzene is less reactive than chloromethane. Ans. In chlorobenzene‚ each carbon atom of benzenering is sp2 hyridised and is electron withdrawing. Chlorine atom donates a lone pair of electron and acquire positive charge. The negative charge is delocalised on ortho and para position by resonance. C-Cl bond acquires partial double bond character and is 169 pm as compared to 17.0 pm in chloromethane

Brine shrimp and Ethanol research paper Ethanol is an alcohol substance that has effects on growth in organisms. Brine shrimp are used to tell the different levels of acidity in environments. Organisms absorb the substance around it; sometimes it has no effect on them sometimes it does. The best way to figure out if the environment has an acidity level too high for normal growth is to put the organism in a dish and watch carefully and observe any changes that occur in comparison to a normal organism
