In this video we make luminol from domestically available chemicals. The process pretty complicated and dangerous at parts and so should only performed by, or...
This video was created as a project in Dr. Bondurant's CHM 2211L -Organic Chemistry II Lab at Hillsborough Community College Dale Mabry Campus by Robert...
3-Nitrophthalhydrazide, prepared in a previous video, is reduced with a readily available reducing agent (thiourea dioxide, TUD) to luminol, which is obtained in 66% yield...
Solution A (right)- 5-amino-1,4-phthalazdione (luminol) mixed with 10mL of 3M NaOH solution & 90mL of deionized water. Solution B (left)- 4mL of 3% aqueous potassium...
A necessary precursor to luminol, 3-nitrophthalic acid, is prepared by mixed acid nitration of phthalic anhydride. The product is obtained in 35% yield with purity...
3-Nitrophthalhydrazide, the immediate precursor to luminol is synthesized from previously prepared 3-nitrophthalic acid and hydrazine sulfate using a modification of the Organic Syntheses procedure (www.orgsyn.org...
