Synthesis: Organic Compound

Complete catalog record
Shows the synthesis of 2-butanone, from 2-butanol as an example of a common type of organic synthesis. Discusses three basic steps - synthesis, purification, identification. Explains that 2-butanone is oxidized by sodium dichromate and sulfuric acid to yield 2-butanone, that purification is accomplished by solvent extraction followed by distillation of 2-butanone, and that the product is identified by forming a solid derivative and determining its melting point
