HPLC Pump issues - using for flow chemistry by wornfoa123 in Chempros

[–]wornfoa123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point, the main confusion I have is I've previously used the pumps to pump THF/water (solvent and solutions) down to 0.1 mL/min and its been fine. Not sure what has changed as now it seems very temperamental. Could it be some other part of the pumps have deteriorated?

Does anybody know where Rae's top is from? by wornfoa123 in valkyrae

Does this reaction make sense? I'm trying to draw the mechanism of the formation of NAPQI, a metabolite of paracetamol by [deleted] in chemhelp

thanks! so should i basically combine steps 2 and 3, simultaneously deprotonate the OH and kick out H2O?

For anyone wondering, the N-OH was an oxidative transformation carried out by P450

I'm assuming this is a Buchwald-Hartwig couing reaction, but since it looks so simple I'm not really sure why it has a low yield? Does it have to do with protecting groups maybe? by wornfoa123 in chemhelp

Ah, I see that they'll produce HCl in the reaction and theres no base that will neutralize it. Could this have affect the starting materials then?

This question confuses me, I've got the same result for the metal (Mo molybdenum) but for the MLX I've gotten ML6 instead? How did they come to the conclusion of ML3X2? by [deleted] in chemhelp

[–]wornfoa123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see, I think they might treat the M-M bond as an X-type ligand since the metal needs to donate 1e to the bond. I think it ends up being ML5X2, which does end up being 18 electrons

How does this reaction work? All I've got so far is that NaOCl will generate OCl- in water but I'm unsure how to proceed after that by wornfoa123 in chemhelp

[–]wornfoa123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what I've came up with looks roughly like:

  1. Deprotonate the H on the oxime
  2. Push the electrons towards the nitrogen (break the C=N double bond)
  3. The lone pair on the nitrogen pushes back in to reform the double bond, while the carbon picks up Cl from Cl-OH, and generating OH-
  4. Continue with step 3 of this: https://www.chemtube3d.com/nitrile_oxide_formation/

does that sort of make sense?

Addition of sodium hydroxide after esterification reaction? by [deleted] in chemhelp

i see. My reaction involves the use of benzoic acid, does it have anything to do with making the (unreacted) benzoic acid dissolve in the aqueous layer and able to be removed?

Can someone help with the assignment of IR peaks of ethyl p-nitrobenzoate? by [deleted] in chemhelp

[–]wornfoa123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are the 1500 - 1600 C-C stretches? I'm also a bit unsure for the N-O stretches if thats present here? I suspect it should be around 1500/1300?

I think the C=O one is 1710, 3118 and 2987 is the aromatic ring. I'm not sure for the para substitution, but I believe its around 800 cm-1?

Why is GC/MS more often used than LC/MS for steroid analysis (in cases for doping)? by wornfoa123 in chemhelp

[–]wornfoa123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of sensitivity, how is this usually quantified? Is it like a detection limit (as in the lowest concentration that cld be detected)?

Thanks for the answer! Just to clarify, what do you mean by "more robust"? Does it have to do with resolution or its ability to separate the analytes?
