Wasacz, J. P.; Badding, V. G. published the artcile< A hydration of an alkyne illustrating steam and vacuum distillation>, HPLC of Formula: 5455-94-7, the main research area is laboratory experiment alkyne hydration; steam distillation laboratory experiment.
An experiment involving the conversion of 2,5-dimethyl-3-hexyne-2,5-diol to 2,2,5,5-tetramethyltetrahydrofuran-3-one, suitable for an early organic chem. laboratory course and using aqueous mercuric sulfate without the use of acid, is described. The experiment demonstrated several principles and techniques: hydration of an alkyne; steam distillation; vacuum distillation (optimal); drying of an organic liquid; stereochem.; synthesis of a ketone; keto-enol tautomerism; synthesis of a cyclic ether; and salting out techniques (optional).
Journal of Chemical Education published new progress about Alkynes Role: MSC (Miscellaneous). 5455-94-7 belongs to class tetrahydrofurans, and the molecular formula is C8H14O2, HPLC of Formula: 5455-94-7.
