Unit I: 

Synthesis and characterization of given organic compounds-

  • To record the IR spectrum of the synthesized compound and interpret the vibrational frequencies
  • To determine the absorption maxima of the synthesized compound spectrophotometrically in different solvents.
  • To interpret the NMR spectra of the synthesized compounds
  • 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)

  • Aldol condensation (Synthesis of dibenzal propanone)
  • Acetylation (synthesis of acetanilide from aniline)
  • Pechmann condensation for coumarin synthesis (clay catalyzed solid state synthesis of 7- hydroxy -4-methyl coumarin)

Two step synthesis (any three)

  • Benzoin → benzil → benzilic acid
  • Benzophenone → benzopinacol → benzopinacolone
  • Acetanilide → p-bromoacetanilide → p-bromoaniline
  • Acetanilide → p-nitroacetanilide → p-nitroaniline
  • Resorcinol → fluorescein → eosin

Extraction of Organic Compounds from Natural Resources (any one)

  • Isolation of caffeine from tea leaves.
  • Isolation of casein from milk.
  • Isolation of lactose from milk.
