Final Procedure Report

The document describes an experimental procedure involving the following steps: 1) Sodium tungstate dehydrate, sulfuric acid, and hydrogen peroxide were introduced into a round-bottom flask and stirred for 30 minutes to prepare an in situ proxy tungstate catalyst. 2) Cyclohexanone was added and the mixture was heated to reflux for 6 hours. 3) The solution was cooled in a refrigerator for 12 hours, forming an adipic acid precipitate after filtration. 4) The yield and purity of the synthesized adipic acid crystals were calculated through stoichiometry, titration with sodium hydroxide, and FTIR spectroscopy analysis.

Experimental Procedure

Reagent used:
1. Cyclohexanone
2. Sodium tungstate dehydrate
3. 30% Hydrogen peroxide
4. Sodium Bi sulfate
5. NaOH
6. H2SO4
7. Phenophthalene

Equipment:
1. 500ml 3 neck round bottom flask
2. Heatable magnetic stirrer
3. Magnetic stir bar
4. Reflux condenser
5. Buchner funnel
6. Suction flask
7. Pipette, desiccators
8. Beaker
9. Thermometer (100OC)
10. Filter Paper
11. Burette
12. Refrigerator

Procedure:
Na2WO42H2O, sulfuric acid and 30% H2O2 (molar ratio was 1:3.26:218, H2O2 was added in
one time or batches) were introduced in a 500 mL round-bottomed flask.
Thermometer will set in side arm of flask to monitor the temperature.
The mixtures were stirred at magnetic stirrer for 30 min to prepare in situ the proxy tungstate
catalyst, then cyclohexanone (the total molar ratio to H2O2 was 1:4.36, added in one time or
batches) was added and the system was heated to reflux.
After reflux, the reaction was stirred for 6 h at 8095 C.
After the completion of the reaction the solution will cool at 4oC in refrigerator for 12Hr.
After the filtration the Precipitate will separate out and will dry over night to get crystal of adipic
acid.

Testing:
After the synthesis of the adipic acid the yield and purity of adipic acid crystal will calculate. Yield will
calculated by stoichiometry calculation and purity will calculate by the titration of adipic acid with NaoH,
phenolphthalein as a [Link] spectrum will also analyze for the identification of the adipic acid.
Melting point of adipic acid will be tested that should be between 149-152oC.
