Iowa State University The Preparation of Methyl Benzoate Lab Report

 

Two different paragraphs explaining each. First picture is for lab 1, 2nd picture is for lab 2. Use basic university knowledge in organic chem 1 and 2

LAB 1: For the first picture of the NMR spectra Analyze your NMR spectra. In your spectra, you should have the approximate chemical shifts of each peak. You also have to include an explanation matching up the peaks in your NMR spectra to that of the product, methyl benzoate. Explain why you think you got your product and not just starting material. If you have extra peaks in your NMR that do not match up to any proton peaks in your product, explain where they could have come from. Every peak must be accounted for!
