Description from the creator

How to synthesize a glowing molecule? ( Green Coumarin Synthesis by Pechmann reaction )

Team Name: In Extremis

Team composition: Girardin Thibault, Dohm Maxime, Quilliard Soline

Country: France

The synthesis and analysis of 4-methylumbelliferone is suitable for a high school organic chemistry lab course that presents a green experiment that synthesizes a glowing molecule, 4-methylumbelliferone. It uses the Pechmann condensation raction, and ion exchange resin, Amberlite IRN 77. The reaction takes place in safe and environment-friendly ethanol, which can be
biosourced. Indeed, it has a low E-factor and a high Atom economy rate. Moreover, this presentation reminds the steps of synthesis from chemical transformation to purification. The video details
mountings and shows how to use them. During the experimentation, Amberlite resin has been recuperate to be regenerated and reused with a slight decline in yield.
