media type="custom" key="3479300"media type="custom" key="3479314" = = =Objective= To determine the solubility of 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzaldehyde and octadecyl amine in 5 different solvents. The solvents are methanol, ethanol, THF, acetonitrile, toluene by NMR. =Procedure= Saturated solutions of 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzaldehyde and octadecyl aminewere made with methanol, ethanol, THF, acetonitrile, toluene. After the last addition of solute to the solvents, they were vortexed for 10min each to saturate the solutions. After centrifuging the vials the supernatants (100uL) were placed into NMR tubes containing 700 μl of CDCl3. Proton NMR of the solutions were obtained on a 500MHz Varian Unity Inova instrument. The solubility of the isocyanide and the amine was determined using [|SAMS].

 * [Following on from JCB's remarks below, the same issue keeps coming up with each participant: how do you know that you have a saturated solution? Where are the data collected to verify saturation, what procedure did you use to prepare sat solns and was that procedure standard throughout all your work? At what temperature was the work conducted? What mixing times were tested? These are not pointless nitpicks, they are central to the project. BH]**

=Discussion= From the HNMR of sample #3, (THF + 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzaldehyde ) it is obvious that the sample has been contaminated with toluene (singlet at 2.33ppm and multiplets between 71.1-7.3ppm). Therefore the solubility obtained for this sample has been discarded.
