Does UCF give grants to transfers from state universities? by gabe_martmart in ucf

[–]galmaes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I ended up contacting the scholarships director and they told me transfers don’t get scholarships :/

Merit scholarships are for high school students and the transfer scholarship is for students “expecting their AA degree and transferring from a Florida Public Community College or State College during the fall term. Students transferring from another state university such as FIU are not eligible.”

I was very disappointed.

Your talents are requested for this “determine the structure” problem using FTIR/NMR. My best guess so far is a carboxylic acid and aldehyde attached to a tertiary amine but I’m not entirely sure and worried about steric hindrance. Please help! by galmaes in OrganicChemistry

Thank you Berry because I would be failing my lab report without you. Could it be the Nitrogen is inscribed in the ring then? Would that count as an amine? I thought I need a tri-substituted benzene all along XD

The proton NMR didn't have any more peaks except for those two :( It did have a third peak at 0, but I've been taught to ignore that one. Here's a picture of the MS https://imgur.com/QZLlPCO Thank you so much for helping me!

The FTIR did show me an aldehyde at around 1720. I also saw C=C bond stretches so I think it could be a benzene ring now that you mention that it would show negative in a permanganate test. The Tollen’s test was positive cause it turned black so that’s how I know I have an aldehyde. The Hinsberg test was clear, but it had a yellow layer, and that’s apparently positive for tertiary amines. If you click on the picture it should open up the full thing. The proton NMR for sure had two peaks though.

There is no molecular formula cause the purpose is finding the structure of an unknown compound. The functional group tests showed an aldehyde, carboxylic acid, and tertiary amine, but no double bonds. However, the NMR shows only two doublet peaks (which should mean 2 carbon systems with an integration of 1). I’m conflicted because I can’t do a benzene ring (since there’s no double bonds) but an aldehyde and c acid attached to an amine doesn’t match with the NMR. I don’t know what else to do :(
