Synthesis and characterization of given organic compounds-
1. To record the IR spectrum of the synthesized compound and interpret the vibrational frequencies
2. To determine the absorption maxima of the synthesized compound spectrophotometrically in different solvents.
3. To interpret the NMR spectra of the synthesized compounds
4. To observe the mass spectral fragmentation pattern in the synthesized compound and predict the base peak and molecular ion peak.
One step synthesis (any two)
1. Aldol condensation (Synthesis of dibenzal propanone)
2. Acetylation (synthesis of acetanilide from aniline)
3. Pechmann Condensation for Coumarin synthesis (Clay catalyzed solid state synthesis of 7- hydroxy -4-methyl coumarin)
Two step synthesis (any three)

Scheme of Examination
The duration of examination will be 6 hrs.
The following exercises will be set in the examination
Organic Synthesis 20 marks
Spectral Characterization 35 marks
Viva 15 marks
Total 70 marks
1. Organic synthesis
This exercise carries 20 marks. Synthesis will be allotted to the candidates by lot. The yield, purity, crystallization and recording of m.p. will be given due consideration while awarding marks.
2. Spectral Characterization
This exercise carries 35 marks. The organic compound synthesised in the laboratory will be characterized on the basis of various spectroscopic techniques. The distribution of marks will be as follows.
- Recording and interpretation of IR spectrum 7 marks
- Determination of absorption maxima 14 marks
- Interpretation of the NMR and Mass spectrum 14 marks
·
3. Viva
Oral questions shall generally be asked over the work assigned to the candidate. The purpose is to find out as to what extent the candidate has an understanding of the basic principles.
