Ozonolysis of Alkenes

Overzicht

This experiment will demonstrate an example of an ozonolysis reaction to synthesize vanillin from isoeugenol (Figure 1). Ozonolysis of alkenes, an oxidation reaction between ozone and an alkene, is a common method to prepare aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids. This experiment also demonstrates the use of an ozone generator and a low temperature (−78 °C) reaction.

Procedure

  1. Add 200 mg of isoeugenol, 15 mL of MeOH, and ~ 2 mg of Sudan III to a 3-necked 50- mL round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar.
  2. Connect the reaction flask to an oxygen tank and a bubbler.
  3. Turn on the flow of oxygen.
  4. Cool the reaction mixture with a dry ice/acetone bath.
  5. Switch on the ozone generator, which converts the oxygen from the tank to ozone that goes into the reaction flask. The generator will be between the oxygen tank and the reaction flask. Allow the reaction mixture to st

Toepassing en samenvatting

In this experiment, we have demonstrated the synthesis of vanillin from isoeugenol using the ozonolysis reaction. Also, using an ozone generator while performing a low temperature reaction was shown.

Ozonolysis is a useful reaction to prepare aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids from alkenes. It has been applied in natural product synthesis and industrial-scale preparation of pharmaceuticals. Artemisinin is a potent antimalarial agent and was one of the nat
