DESCRIBE THE PREPARATION OF

SELECTED ORGANIC COMPOUND


What is organic compound?

• Organic chemistry constituents a large


part of your everyday life. The food you
eat, the fuel that cars use, and the
alcohol that you use to disinfect object, to
name a few, are made up of organic
compound. Even your body is mostly
made up of organic compound. Organic
compound are compound generally
made up of carbon © atoms except 2
ORGANIC COMPOUND:
HYDROCARBON
• A major group of organic compound is the
hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbon are made up of
only carbon and hydrogen atoms.

ORGANIC COMPOUND: FUNCTIONAL
GROUPS
• Organic compounds may also be classified according to the functional groups
they contain. A functional group is a group of atoms that is largely responsible
for the chemical behavior of the parent molecule. Compound containing the
same functional groups undergo similar reactions.

Synthesis of some simple organic
compound.
1. Acetanilide
 Acetanilide is prepared from aniline by acetylating it
with acetic anhydride in the presence of glacial acetic
acid. Aniline or phenylamine is a primary amine with
molecular formula C6H5NH2. It is basic in nature. Acetic
anhydride is an anhydride of acetic acid and acts as a
source of acyl group.

2. Dibenzal acetone
• Claisen Schmidt Reaction is a condensation reaction between an aromatic
aldehyde and an aliphatic ketone in the presence of a strong base like NaOH
leading to unsaturated ketone. In this reaction, two molecules of water are
eliminated.
• In the preparation of Dibenzal acetone, two moles of benzaldehyde
condenses with one mole of acetone. The chemical reaction is represented as
follows;

3. p-Nitro acetanilide

• p-Nitro acetanilide
• The direct preparation of p-nitro acetanilide from aniline using a nitrating mixture is very difficult. This is
because, in the presence of the nitrating mixture, the amino (-NH2) group of aniline is oxidised to the nitro (-NO 2)
group and forms nitro benzene.
• The amino group of aniline is first protected by acylation with acetic anhydride to produce acetanilide which is
then nitrated to form p-nitro acetanilide as the major product and o-nitro acetanilide as the minor product. To
separate p-nitro acetanilide from this mixture, the reaction mixture is recrystallised in ethanol, so that the more
readily soluble o-nitro acetanilide dissolves in ethanol and pure p-nitro acetanilide separates out.

4. 2-Naphthol aniline dye
• 2-Naphyhol aniline dye is an azo compound and it is a scarlet red dye. It is
mainly used for dyeing textiles. It contains the characteristic group. Azo
compounds have an extended conjugated system and are often coloured and
are used as dyes. These compounds are prepared by the reaction known as
coupling reaction. 2-Naphthol aniline dye is prepared from aniline.
