Abstract.
In this laboratory work we’ll gain experience in performing synthesis of Nylon 6,6 from hexamethylene diamine(1,6-hexanedienamine) using its aqueous solution and adipoyl chloride dissolved in cyclohexane. We will find the weight of obtained dried nylon rope and calculate its percent yield.
Procedures
Firstly we poured 1 mL of 5% aqueous solution of hexamethylene diamine(1,6-hexanedienamine) into a test tube. We proceeded with adding 2 drops of 20% sodium hydroxide solution. Then we slowly added 1 mL of 5% solution of adipoyl chloride in cyclohexane by pouring it down the walls of the tube and watched the ...
