About this document
Synthesis and Analysis of Benzile by Houssam Boularas is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the synthesis of benzile. It states that heating the reaction accelerates product formation and the vertical condenser prevents loss of reactants and products. Crystals of benzile obtained are mixed with acetic acid, and water is a suitable solvent to wash the crystals since acetic acid dissolves in water. A minimum reflux time of 35 minutes is needed as that is when the starting material benzoine is no longer detected by chromatography. The IR spectrum of benzile synthesized should n
