CHEM 14CL 6 - THE ALDOL CONDENSATION SYNTHESIS OF DIBENZALACETONE PRE-LAB REPORT GUIDELINES 1. Introduction - outline the goal(s) of the experiment as well as the experimental techniques that you will be using to purify/isolate the desired product(s). 2. Prepare a half-page flow chart of the experimental design; indicate on your flow chart a time plan for the experiment that will allow you to complete the work in 2 hours. Be sure to use the time the reaction is stirring for other activities/preparation. Make sure that you REFERENCE the procedures. 3. List the equipment that you will need to have on hand for each step in the procedure for week 1. 4. Draw the three possible isomers of dibenzalacetone. (Hint: Consider the stereochemistry around the two double bonds. Remember that there is no free rotation around a double bond.) Give common and IUPAC names for each of the structures. Note: There is NO prelab for the Molecular Modeling Experiment.
