I run NMR of before and after of evaporation of hexane and they came out exactly the same despite the fact I evaporated my product for more than 5hours π

We run our experiment in cold temperature/ice, and it seems to be working so well. We will be running our NMR on Monday. Hopefully we get better peaks this timeπ€πΎ
@DrTNTina#ResearchSuccess#LorasJTermResearch2023
We doubled the amount of acetyl chloride, and halved the amount of diene to see if we get more products. Fortunately we can see new peaks on the NMR nowπ
@DrTNTina#ResearchSuccess#LorasJTermResearch2023
We tried out different procedure by eliminating hexane and making methanol our solvent and evaporating but we got the same NMR as our starting material.
@DrTNTina#ResearchFail#LorasJTermResearch2023
We changed the procedure a little bit today. We used methanol as our solvent instead of hexane. We can understand our NMR results better now with the hexane out of the picture.ππ«‘
@DrTNTina#ResearchSuccess#LorasJTermResearch2023
We let the reaction spin all weekend and vaporize it all day today and Iβm running the carbon and proton NMRπ«‘
Hopefully we get better results than beforeπͺπΎ
@DrTNTina#ResearchSuccess#LorasJTermResearch2023
Just learned how to use the evaporator machine to take some hexane off the product and I run NMR for several hoursπ’ But theyβre looking pretty good so far!!
