About this document
Synthesis and Analysis of Dibenzalacetone by James Cooke is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the synthesis of dibenzalacetone through an aldol condensation reaction between benzaldehyde and acetone catalyzed by sodium hydroxide. The product was characterized through melting point determination, yield calculation, and thin layer chromatography. The observed melting point of 110-112.1°C matched the theoretical melting point. The % yield was calculated to be 16.8%. TLC analysis showed two spots for the product, possibly indicating contamination with the mono-substituted benzylid
