Preparation of Sodium Fusion Extract :-
a) Take a ignition tube and hold it with tongs.transfer 200-300 mg of sodium metal with the help of forcibs.
b) Melt the Sodium metal in the ignition tube.
c) Pinch of substance(or) 2-3 drops of the compound should be added to the molten sodium metal.
d) Heat the ignition tube till it is red hot and place the tube slowly in a50-60 ml of cold waterin a bowl shape.
e) A wire gauge should be used for safety so that no broken part of the ignition tube comes out the bowl.
f) Triturate the mixture and transfer it to abeaker , heat for 15-20 min and the solution should be filtered.
g) The colourless filtrate obtained should be testedfor the ele ments.
h) The solution should be taken in five test tubes in small portions.

50gm of high purity grade zinc powder. (blank test halogens and sulphur should be made.)
(a) Fusion:- In a test tube mix unknown substance with sufficient of Zn-Na2CO3 reagentadded 1cm depthand mix 2cm of reagent further mixing should be donePlace 40ml of water in the evaporating dish torecieve the hot tube after the fusion and place this behind the safety screen , with the tube held horizontally ,gently heat the reagent nearest the open end of the tube and slowly increase the rate of heating until the whole mass is at red hot (evolution of gases are seen and the ejection of red hot solid stop heating temporarily).
Finally heat the tube in vertical position and then drop it inti the water contained in the evaporating dish for 2min and then filter the hot mixture.

Preparations of derivatives
CLASS OF COMPOUND DERIVATIVES1. ALCOHOLS 3,5-dinitrobenzoate2. PHENOLS benzoate, acetate, bromo-derivative3. ALDEHYDES AND KETONES semicarbazone, 2,4-dinitrophenyl-hydrazone, oxime4. ACIDS anilide, amide, p-toluidide.5. AMINES benzoyl, acetyl and sulphonamide derivativesMETHODS FOR THE PREPARATION OF DERIVATIVES
ALCOHOLS:-
(i) 3,5-Dinitrobenzoates3,5-Dinitrobenzoyl chloride is usually partially hydrolysed and should be prepared in the pure state by heating gently a mixture of 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid (1 g) and phosphorus pentachloride (1.5 g) in a dry test tube, until it liquifies (5 min).* The liquid is poured on a dry watch glass and allowed to solidify. The phosphoryl chlorides are removed by pressing the solid with a spatula on a wad of filter paper. The residual acid chloride is suitable for immediate use in the preparation of the derivatives.
*Work under fume hood. Fumes are irritating to the eyes and nose.
The 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride is mixed with the alcohol (0.5 - 1 mL) in a loosely corked dry test tube and heated on a steam bath for about 10 min. Secondary and tertiary alcohols require up to 30 min. On cooling add 10 mL sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, stir until the ester crystallises out, and filter at the pump. Wash with a little carbonate solution, water and suck dry. Recrystallise from the minimum hot ethanol or light petroleum. Cool slowly to avoid the formation of oily droplets of your ester.
PHENOLS
(i) Benzoates (Schötten-Baumann method):-To the phenol (0.5 g) is added 5% sodium hydroxide (10 mL) in a well-corked boiling tube or a small conical flask. Benzoyl chloride (2 mL) is added in small quantities at a time, and the mixture shaken vigorously with occasional cooling under the tap or in ice-water. After 15 min the solid benzoate separates out: the solution should be alkaline at the end of the reaction; if not alkaline, or if the product is oily, add a solid pellet of sodium hydroxide and shake again. Collect the benzoate, wash thoroughly with cold water, and recrystallise from alcohol or light petroleum.
(ii) Acetates:-Acetates of many simple phenols are liquids; however, this is a suitable derivative for polyhydric and substituted phenols. The phenol (0.5 g) is dissolved in 10% sodium hydroxide solution and an equal quantity of crushed ice is added, followed by acetic anhydride (2 mL). The mixture is vigorously shaken in a stoppered test tube until the acetate separates. The product is filtered and recrystallised from alcohol.
(iii) Bromo derivatives:-The phenol (0.3 g) is suspended in dilute hydrochloric (10 mL) and bromine water added dropwise until no more decolourisation occurs. The bromo derivative which precipitates out is filtered off and recrystallised from alcohol.
ALDEHYDES AND KETONES
(i) Semicarbazones:-Dissolve semicarbazide hydrochloride (1 g) and sodium acetate (1.5 g) in water (8 - 10 mL), add the aldehyde or ketone (0.3 mL) and shake. Shake the mixture for a few minutes and then cool in ice-water. Filter off the crystals, wash with a little cold water and recrystallise from methanol or ethanol.
(ii) 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazones:-Suspend 0.25 g of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine in 5 mL of methanol and add 0.5 mL of concentrated sulphuric acid cautiously. Filter the warm solution and add a solution of 0.2 g of the carbonyl compound in 1 mL of methanol. Recrystallise the derivative from methanol, ethanol or ethyl acetate.
(iii) Oximes:-Hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.5 g) is dissolved in water (2 mL). 10% sodium hydroxide (2 mL) and the carbonyl compound (0.2 - 0.3 g) dissolved in alcohol (1 - 2 mL) are added, the mixture warmed on a steam bath for 10 min and then cooled in ice. Crystallisation is induced by scratching the sides of the test tube with a glass rod. The oximes may be crystallised from alcohol.
ACIDS
(i) Amides, anilides and p-toluidides:-The acid (0.5 g) is refluxed with thionyl chloride (2 - 3 mL) in a fume cupboard for about 30 mins.* It is advisable to place a plug of cotton wool in the top of the reflux condenser to exclude moisture. The condenser is removed and the excess of thionyl chloride is distilled off (b.p. 78 ). The acid chloride thus produced is treated with concentrated ammonia solution (5 mL) or aniline (0.5 - 1 mL) or p-toluidine (0.5
- 1 g), when the solid derivative separates out. It is collected and recrystallised from alcohol adding decolourising charcoal if found necessary.
*Alternately use PCl5 to form the acid chloride.
AMINES
(i) Acetyl derivatives (acetamides):-Reflux gently in a small dry flask under a dry condenser the amine (1 g) with acetic anhydride (3 mL) for 15 min. Cool the reaction mixture and pour into 20 mL cold water. Boil to decompose the excess acetic anhydride. Cool and filter by suction the insoluble derivative. Recrystallise from ethanol.
(ii) Benzoyl derivatives (benzamides):-Suspend 1 g of the amine in 20 mL of 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide in a well-corked flask, and add 2 mL benzoyl chloride (fume hood!), about 0.5 mL at a time, with constant shaking. Shake vigorously for 5 - 10 min until the odour of the benzoyl chloride has disappeared. Ensure that the mixture remains alkaline. Filter off the solid derivative, wash with a little cold water and recrystallise from ethanol.
(iii) Benzenesulphonamides:-To 1 g of the amine in 20 mL of 5% sodium hydroxide solution in a well-corked flask add 1 mL benzenesulphonyl chloride (fume hood!). Shake the mixture until the odour of the sulphonyl chloride disappears. Check that the solution is alkaline. Acidify if necessary to obtain the precipitated derivative. Concentrated hydrochloric acid added dropwise should be used. Filter the product, wash with a little cold water and suck dry. Recrystallise from ethanol.
