Functional group

With the matrix structure, it overlaps both the functional design, which is what Omidyar initially started out with and the divisional design. Within the matrix structure method, employees belong to at least two groups at the same time. For example, within the functional areas Omidyar set up initially, someone in finance could have knowledge and work in the operations division of the company and vice versa. The workers would also report to two supervisors – one within the functional group and the other within the team. This structure not only spreads employee enthusiasm, but it also allows practical and overall executive training across all operative areas as well. Although there are several advantages and disadvantages, like in any other organization structure one major advantage of running on the matrix is the greater responsiveness to customers from bringing together information about customer needs and organizational capabilities (Bateman, Snell, & Konopaske page. 263 exhibit 8.10). On the other hand…

electrophile to form a carbocation, resonance occurs, and then a hydrogen is removed from the carbon that received the electrophile using a weak base to form a double bond, which was lost. When conducting an aromatic substitution reaction, there are several things that need to be taken into consideration, like what functional group is being substituted. Depending on the group can affect the outcome of the reaction in terms of structure and whether it can be done or not. Groups that are…

The purpose of this lab was to prepare tetraphenylcyclopentadienone most commonly known as tetracyclone. This involved a 3-step synthesis over the course of 3 weeks. The first step was the preparation of benzoin, which was completed through self-condensation of benzaldehyde with thiamine used as the base catalyst of the reaction. The next step was the preparation of benzil from the oxidation reaction of benzoin with nitric acid. In the oxidation reaction, the alcohol functional group of benzoin…

4-bromo-2-chloroaniline was successfully synthesized from aniline, as shown through the visualization of the NMR spectra, and the reaction type and order for its synthesis was shown to had mattered. The first step was prepared beforehand, but it would be important to note that this step involved the acetylation of the amine, which blocked the nucleophilic amine group (a strong activation group) from an undesired reaction for the desired formation of acetanilide product, a less reactive compound,…

Temazepam, commonly known as Restoril, is a sleeping pill that is prescribed to patients. This drug is classified under a type of drugs called benozaphines, which are, “a large group of drugs with sedative and anxiety-reducing properties, which have been found valuable for a large number of uses” (UXL Encyclopedia of Drugs and Addictive Substances). This class of drugs is used to reduce anxiety and help with insomnia. Since temazepam is classified as a benzodiazepine, I was curious as to what…

research has identified the key structural groups of the compound that are essential for its function (Combemale et al., 2013; Kudo et al., 2010; Nakamura et al., 2003). Bioassays examining the structure-function relationship have resulted in a crude comprehension of the potency of HPA-12 and numerous analogues (Fleury et al., 2015; Santos et al., 2015; Ueno et al., 2001; Yasuda et al., 2001). However, from a medicinal chemistry perspective, an important aspect of this appears to have been…

also indicated which functional group the unknown composed itself of. The assessment was done using distilled water and four to five drops of the unknown. If the compound was soluble in water, the unknown was mixed with an ether solution further determining its solubility: if insoluble with the ether solution, the compound was classified as S2, meaning it was composed of salts of organic acids. If soluble in the ether solution, a litmus test was done to determine whether it was an acid (Sa),…

In the IR spectrum, RM-10-1i, peaks that are present correspond to the functional groups in 6-ethoxycarbonyl-3,5-diphenyl-2-cyclohexenone. These functional groups are sp2 hybridized carbons at 3031 cm-1, sp3 hybridized carbons at 2981 cm-1, a carbonyl at 1735 cm-1, aromatic carbon-carbon stretching at 1660 cm-1, an ester carbon-oxygen stretching at 1144 cm-1, and alkene carbon-hydrogen stretching at 698 cm-1. There was no alcohol present in this spectra, indication that all of the catalyst was…

converting lead into gold, as methane is an inert molecule with few methods of selective transformation. Methane is a ubiquitous byproduct with the potential to create more efficient chemical syntheses and replace the current petrochemical feedstocks through less expensive and more readily-available alkanes . C-H bond activation frequently occurs at transition-metal centers , often with high selectivity and trivial conditions. Our research group specializes in organometallic chemistry, most…

Negative Compound 7 No precipitate Negative Compound 8 Precipitate forms Positive Compound 9 No precipitate Negative Compound 10 No Precipitate Negative Discussion In the Water Solubility test, if a compound contains a carbonyl or hydroxyl group, or if it is a carbon with less than three carbons, it will have a positive result, being soluble in water. This is because water is a polar solvent, not dissolving compounds that are non-polar. In alcohols, the hydroxyl group is polar and dissolvable.…
