Reações multicomponentes de Biginelli e de Mannich nas aulas de química orgânica experimental: uma abordagem didática de conceitos da química verde

The introduction of Mannich and Biginelli multicomponent reactions in a practical Organic Chemistry course is presented in this article. Procedures described in the literature were adapted for use under the simple conditions available in undergraduate laboratories and were selected on the basis of Green Chemistry principles and practicality of synthesis. The reactions are easy to carry out and all products are readily isolated as crystalline solids with yields ranging from moderate to high.

Síntese e hidrólise de azalactonas de Erlenmeyer-Plöchl mediadas por radiação micro-ondas em aparelhos doméstico e dedicado: experimentos de química orgânica para a graduação

This work describes a green chemistry experiment for the synthesis of Erlenmeyer-Plöchl azalactones mediated by microwave irradiation, employing both dedicated and domestic equipment. Hippuric acid was reacted with equimolar amounts of benzaldehyde, p-chloro-benzaldehyde or p-N,N-dimethyl-benzaldehyde in acetic anhydride as the solvent. Acid hydrolysis of obtained 4-benzylidene-2-phenyloxazol-5(4H)-one under microwave and convectional heating afforded Z-α-(benzoylamino)cinnamic acid at a 51-61.5% yield. The UV-Vis molecular spectra of 4-benzylidene-2-phenyloxazol-5(4H)-one and 4-(4'-N,N-dimethylbenzylidene)-2-phenyloxazol-5(4H)-one were obtained in ethanol, CH2Cl2 and DMSO and bathochromic shift was observed for the latter azalactone.

Preparação de derivados do lapachol em meio ácido e em meio básico: uma proposta de experimentos para a disciplina de Química Orgânica Experimental

In this educational paper we describe the extraction of lapachol from its natural source according to acid-base concepts in organic chemistry and the use of its derivatives β-lapachone and hydroxy-hydrolapachol to exemplify intramolecular cyclization, carbocation stability, Michael addition reaction and chromatography. The experiments were performed during three different undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory classes using low cost material, while avoiding color reagents for TLC visualization, as well as small-scale column chromatography to isolate the mixture of lapachol and β-lapachone.

Obtenção de biodiesel por transesterificação em dois estágios e sua caracterização por cromatografia gasosa: óleos e gorduras em laboratório de química orgânica

Methanolic transesterification of oils and fats was carried out in a two steps procedure, under basic and acidic catalysis. Palm, soybean, canola, corn, rice, grapeseed, sunflower, peanut, pequi and olive oils, besides tallow and lard were used as feedstock. Specific gravity, relative viscosity, thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography were used to characterize the biodiesel. Biodiesel was obtained in high yield and purity. Results were used to discuss the following key-concepts: 1 - triglycerides, composition and properties; 2 - nucleophilic acyl substitution under basic and acid conditions, 3 - thin layer chromatography, 4 - gas chromatography and its quantitative methods.

Miniprojeto para ensino de Química Orgânica Experimental baseado no acoplamento catalítico N-C promovido por micro-ondas

This paper describes a three-week mini-project for an Experimental Organic Chemistry course. The activities include N-C cross-coupling synthesis of N-(4-methoxyphenyl) benzamide in an adapted microwave oven by a copper catalyst (CuI). Abilities and concepts normally present in practical organic chemistry courses are covered: use of balances, volumetric glassware, separation of mixtures (liquid-liquid extraction and filtration), chromatographic techniques, melting point determination and stoichiometric calculations.

A teoria de pearson para a disciplina de química orgânica: um exercício prático e teórico aplicado em sala de aula

We report a didactic experience in teaching Pearson's theory (HSAB) to graduate students in organic chemistry. This approach was based on teaching students how to use computer programs to calculate frontier orbitals (HOMO-LUMO). The suggested level of calculation was a semi-empiric PM3, proving to be efficient for obtaining robust and fast numerical results that can be performed easily in the classroom. We described a practical computational exercise and asked students to compare these numerical data with qualitative analysis using valence bond theory. A comprehensive solution of this exercise is presented, aiming to support teachers in their lessons.

Síntese de cristais líquidos derivados do nitroazobenzeno: uma proposta de síntese multi-etapas aplicada às aulas de química orgânica experimental

We describe a synthetic route consisting of five steps from aniline to obtain liquid crystal compounds derived from nitroazobenzene. Syntheses were performed during the second half of the semester in organic chemistry laboratory classes. Students characterized the liquid crystal phase by the standard melting point techniques, differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy. These experiments allow undergraduate students to explore fundamentally important reactions in Organic Chemistry, as well as modern concepts in Chemistry such as self-assembly and self-organization, nanostructured materials and molecular electronics.

Mapas conceptuales como herramienta pedagógica en la enseñanza de la química orgánica

Organic Chemistry is a branch of Chemistry involving the study of the carbon atom, its compounds and reactions. Numerous investigations carried out in the field of teaching and learning processes indicate that knowledge of a conceptual and explanatory type is not conveyed in a conventional manner, but rather each individual is constructed. Therefore, the proposal for this study was devised to help students achieve significant sustainable learning in the area of reactivity in organic chemistry, using the Concept Maps described by Novak (1998) as a teaching tool.

Hidrocarburos : un fructífero sustrato didáctico en química orgánica.

Planteamiento de un curso de Química Orgánica basado en una clasificación funcional, ofreciendo con los hidrocarburos una gran utilidad didáctica pudiendo hacer su explicación gratificante tanto para el profesor como para el alumno. Hace una representación de la química de los hidrocarburos ya que dota al alumno del conocimento necesario en los carbonados, alifáticos y aromáticos. Su ensamblaje centra al alumno en la realidad, más instructiva que deductiva.

Introducción de nueva metodología docente en el estudio de la Química Orgánica.

Realizado en la Facultad de Ciencias Químicas, por 7 profesores del centro, para las asignaturas relacionas con la química orgánica de las titulaciones de Ciencias Químicas, Ingeniería Química y Biotecnología. El objetivo era actualizar la enseñanza de la Química Orgánica usando programas informáticos especiales para este tipo de enseñanza como es el Programa Chem Office Ultra. Este programa permite el manejo de nomenclatura de Química Orgánica, el estudio de conformaciones y modelización molecular elemental así como mecanismos de reacción. Con él se ha mejorado notablemente la calidad de la impartición de clases y seminarios.
