Chapter 32 When the reaction is in progress
The world outside the window is cold and windy, and occasionally a few snowflakes falling from the sky are crystal clear, dancing lightly in the cold wind.
On Liu Feng's experimental table, the electromagnetic heater kept dissipating heat like a small sun.
When the temperature of the thermometer reached 100℃, finally, in his vision, two main raw materials molecules collided on a large scale and fused into a new compound.
Liu Feng was delighted. Could it be that the main reaction began?
"1,2,3...198, hey, no, there are too many hydrogen atoms!"
Shaking his head, he found that the molecular structure of this new compound obviously has several hydrogen atoms more than the molecular structure of the target compound. In other words, they are not the final product he needs, but are still just a by-product.
Liu Feng was a little disappointed in this.
After all, every organic synthesis experimenter's expectation for the target product is exactly the same as his father's expectation for a new life in the delivery room.
Although disappointed, Liu Feng still recorded this side reaction. Because the phenomenon and side reaction recorded in each piece are the decoupling of the entire set of experiments, there is no useless experimental record.
So a new reaction equation was added to the draft book, but these were not recorded in the experimental record book sent by the senior brother, and only some simple experimental phenomena were recorded.
Obviously, this is the obvious difference between having plug-ins and not having plug-ins.
Liu Feng, who has cheated, can monitor the process of the entire reaction at any time, whether side reactions occur, when, and how much proportion they account for.
The experimenter without plug-ins can only record some simple external reaction phenomena, and occasionally uses thin-layer chromatography or other detection methods to monitor the reaction progress of the target product. This is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also the cost required is even more expensive. Chen Hongzhi and his senior brothers and sisters next to him are like this.
On the other side of the laboratory bench, Chen Hongzhi was bored at this time. His reaction was already on the right track. He had just clicked the board to do surveillance. Everything was normal. So, he had nothing to do for at least half an hour.
Looking sideways to investigate the information, he saw Liu Feng keep writing and drawing on the draft paper, and he felt it was very strange.
Organic synthesis experiments are different from other experiments. In the process, there is actually no need for anyone to pay attention to it all the time, and it cannot be missed at all. In the synthesis experiment, you only need to pay attention to whether the reaction temperature, pressure and other indicators meet the standards. At most, you can take samples and test at a certain time and monitor the reaction process.
At this time, it should be very leisurely. What is this guy doing?
"Junior Brother Liu, what are you doing with writing and painting?" It was obvious that Chen Hongzhi, who was full of doubt, ran to Liu Feng and looked over with curiosity.
"It's nothing, I'm idle, I'll just calculate whether there are any other side reactions besides the side reactions given in the information." Liu Feng said perfunctorily, it was obvious that he would not explain the cheating matter.
When Liu Feng stopped writing the mark, Chen Hongzhi picked up Liu Feng's draft paper casually and saw that he was full of equations he wrote!
I thought to myself that this guy is really a weird guy. Isn’t he just a part-time job? After I go back, this experiment will have something to do with you? I’m thinking about what to do!
Besides, even if you really figure out something, you can earn a few more dollars? After all, my senior brother is a big doctor, and I'm afraid that people have already figured out what you've been thinking about.
Shaking his head and putting down the draft paper, Chen Hongzhi ignored this weirdness and took out his cell phone and started playing.
Nothing can be so refreshing to read novels!
I heard that the platinum master of Wenyue Group recently opened a new book on the river. It seems to be the microscopic world of academic masters?
Let's go, take a look!
...
"Junior Brother Chen, pay attention to your experiment and don't make the data wrong!" Not long after Chen Hongzhi took out his cell phone, Senior Brother Zhong Jing came to check the job.
"Hehe, senior brother, just put your heart in your stomach! I have already ordered the board just now, and everything is normal for the experiment!" But this guy was still reading the novel, fearless.
"Well, that's fine! I'm not saying that you have to keep staring at the experiment, it's the key reaction nodes. It's very important. Don't make a mistake for me! Otherwise, it's not easy to explain!" Zhong Jing also knew that the experiment had free time, so he turned a blind eye to this guy playing with his mobile phone. "Let me take a look at your experimental records!"
"Okay senior brother!"
A few minutes later, Zhong Jing checked Chen Hongzhi's experimental records and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that although this guy was a little playful, he was still quite reliable in doing things. At least, he saw that the guy's experimental records were neat and all the reaction phenomena were recorded in detail.
So he came to Liu Feng again.
He was really worried about Liu Feng. After all, this guy was just a freshman and had very little experience in experiments.
"How is it, junior brother, how is the experiment progressing?" Zhong Jing also saw Liu Feng keep writing and drawing with draft paper and making experimental records. He nodded with satisfaction. This guy is diligent enough!
God rewards hard work, and those who help themselves will help them!
Zhong Jing has always believed that whether a person can succeed can be seen from his attitude towards work; after all, some experience can still be accumulated, but his attitude towards work cannot be changed. Serious means being serious, and you can't pretend.
It is obvious that Zhong Jing is very satisfied with Liu Feng's serious attitude towards doing things.
"The temperature has risen to 110℃. I just clicked the board once and found that the main reaction has not started yet. I don't know how much the temperature has risen before I started to react." Liu Feng directly explained the doubts in his heart to his senior brother.
"Well, I was neglected! The temperature at which the main reaction begins is about 110℃~130℃. When it reaches 120℃ later, you click the plate again and you may see the target product of the main reaction."
"Okay senior brother!"
"By the way, I saw what you have been recording on the draft paper just now. Can you tell me?" Zhong Jing picked up Liu Feng's draft paper casually, saw the full chapters of equations, and said curiously.
"It's such a senior brother!" When talking about the things on the draft paper, Liu Feng's eyes shone. Some side effects were not marked in the information given, but in fact, the results he saw were actually happening, and the proportion of them accounted for a large proportion. As for the reason, he didn't understand very well.
I think my senior brother is a graduate student and has rich experience, so he should be able to answer: "I observed that one branch of our starting material is β-amine alcohol. So is it possible that it can migrate through C-C through carbo-positive ion rearrangement and generate a branched chain with cyclic ketone after diazotization?"
"Hmm? Diazotization? Let's take a look." Zhong Jing looked at the reaction equation pointed out by Liu Feng thoughtfully, "Impossible. Diazotization needs to be carried out under low temperature conditions, but our system is a heating reaction, so..."
The two of them asked and answered each other.
After all, the experience of graduate students is much richer than that of undergraduates. In addition to organic chemistry, Zhong Jing has linked other content that Liu Feng has not seen yet, answering many of Liu Feng’s doubts.
Liu Feng was very excited about this. After all, Dugu Qiubai finally met a martial arts senior who was very skilled and could not be excited!
...
There are great scholars in chatting and laughing, but no one can communicate with each other.
Zhong Jing found that Liu Feng's questions were more difficult and more tricky, and he struggled to deal with them. He even couldn't answer many questions at all. He could only shirk them and said that they were too complicated and put them aside for the time being.
After touching his forehead, he really felt that Liu Feng should not be a freshman at all. Really, those with this level of freshmen are not human!
