Oh Sweet Tooth!

molecule of the week MOTW

This Week’s Hints:

  • It is extracted from a plant

  • It can be used as a flavoring agent in food, beverages and pharmaceuticals

  • Very sweet in smell

V____ ____ I ____ L ____ ____   

 

That’s Right! This Week’s Molecule will be Vanillin!

Here’s a bit of information about Vanillin:

Vanillin is a phenolic compound which has a phenolic ring, an aldehyde group, hydroxyl and ether group. It is derived from vanilla bean, as which synthetic vanillin is now used very often as a flavouring agent in foods. This is because natural vanilla tends to be more expensive than vanillin.

 

So What Does Vanillin Looks Like in Chemistry?

 

 

Let’s Get Building!

Using your Student Molecular Set from Duluth Labs, let’s create Vanillin. You’ll need:

  • 8 Carbon Atoms
  • 8 Hydrogen Atoms
  • 3 Oxygen Atoms
  • 7  Medium connectors (single covalent bonds)
  • 8 Long connectors (double bonds)
  • 8 Short connectors (hydrogen bonds)
  • Molecular Tool (for Disassembly) 

Put aside all the atoms and connectors needed.

 

We will be building this molecule in a clockwise rotation with the carbon atom in the 6:30 position. Using the chemical structure above as a representative, we will start by building a Benzene Ring. 

  • First using a carbon atom and 2 long connectors, attach another carbon atom to form a double bonded carbon. 
  • Then using a medium connector, attach a carbon atom to the double bonded carbon.  
  • Using 2 long connectors, attach another carbon atom to form another double bonded carbon. 
  • Using a medium connector, connect a carbon atom to the double bonded carbon. 
  • Using 2 long connectors, attach another carbon atom to form another double bonded carbon. 
  • Finally, using a medium connector, connect both carbon atoms to each other. 

At this stage, we now have our Benzene Ring! Now lets add all the functional groups to create Vanillin.

Starting with the carbon at the 6:30 position, we are going to create the OCH3 group.

  • Using a medium connector attach an oxygen atom, then using another medium connector attach a carbon atom. Thereafter,  using 3 short connectors attach 3 hydrogen atoms to the carbon. 
  • Going in a clockwise position, at the next carbon atom ( for this example: carbon #2) in the ring, use a medium connector to attach an oxygen atom. 
  • Using a short connector, attach a hydrogen atom to the oxygen atom forming an OH group. 
  • Going in a clockwise position, at carbon #5, use a medium connector to attach a carbon atom. 
  • Using 2 long connectors, attach an oxygen atom 
  • Using a short connector, attach a hydrogen atom to the carbon free electron. 
  • Now that we have added all the functional groups, it is time to use the remaining small connectors and attach hydrogen atoms to the free electrons on the carbon atoms throughout the molecule.

    Thank you for the interesting article, it is very intellectual and instructive, as it helps to take a fresh look at theatrical plays, as well as correctly evaluate new productions of performances, because in fact this is a very important topic, because the beauty and professional acting of actors still remain an important part of our daily life, and this, of course, directly affects our emotional state and even intelligence. Of course, in life we have fun, for example, we can play online casino games https://jennycasino.com/ slot machines and game bonuses where we can make money and then enjoy for ourselves, but of course we get something here for the soul …
