20 Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) widely used as an

analgesic (pain reliever). It was discovered in the 1960s by the Boots Group which
developed a six step synthesis from 2-methylpropylbenzene. The synthesis shown
below was introduced in the 1990s by the BHC Company and received a Presidential
Green Chemistry Challenge award in 1997. The citation noted that the synthesis has
just three steps, all of which are catalytic, and an effective atom economy of 99%.
Both syntheses are carried out in solution.

21 (a) The following method was used to estimate the concentration of ethanol in an
aqueous solution, Q, prepared by the fermentation of sucrose.
25 cm3 of Q was measured using a pipette and transferred to a 250 cm3
volumetric flask; the flask was made up to the mark with distilled water and mixed
thoroughly, forming a diluted solution, R.
25 cm3 samples of R were mixed with an equal volume of a 0.200 mol dm3
potassium dichromate(VI) solution and excess dilute sulfuric acid.
The mixture was allowed to stand for several hours and then the amount of
unreacted potassium dichromate(VI) was determined by titration against a
0.255moldm3 iron(II) ammonium sulfate solution. The mean titre was 23.85 cm3.

Metal Complexes
Complexes involve ligands forming dative covalent bonds with a central
cation; the number of dative covalent bonds is the coordination number of
the cation in the complex. Complexes may be positive, negative or neutral.
The ligands may be neutral or negatively charged, but are never positively
charged. The ligands must have a lone pair of electrons. In some complexes
the central atom is neutral, as is the case with nickel carbonyl which is used in
the Mond process for the purification of nickel:
Ni(s) + 4CO(g) U

Ni(CO)4(g)
The formation of complexes is typical of transition metals but other elements
also form complexes. Zinc, which is a d block element but not a transition
metal, and aluminium, which is a Group 3 element, both form complexes.
Transition metal complexes are usually coloured, but if the interaction
between the ligand and the central ion is very strong, then the resulting
complex may well be colourless. This is the case with the complex [FeF6]3.
The ligand in a complex affects its redox properties and this is apparent from
considering the relevant standard electrode potentials. For example, with
copper(II) species:
[Cu(H2O)6]2+(aq) + 2e U Cu(s) + 6H2O(l)

E 9 = +0.34 V

[Cu(H2O)2(NH3)4]2+(aq) + 2e U Cu(s) + 2H2O(l) + 4NH3(aq)

E 9 = 0.05 V

Complexes are industrially important, for example in the purification of nickel

mentioned above and in the extraction of gold which involves the complex
[Au(CN)2].
Complex formation is used in estimating the concentrations of metal
ions in solution. Examples of this are the use of EDTA in titration and
dimethylglyoxime in gravimetric analysis. Complexes are also used in
qualitative analysis, for example, in Tollens reagent. This reagent is usually
prepared by the addition of sodium hydroxide solution to an aqueous
solution of silver nitrate followed by aqueous ammonia. The resulting
solution contains diamminesilver(I) ions.
