Benzoin Condensation: Monitoring a Chemical Reaction by High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography
Apurba Bhattacharya, Vikram C. Purohit, and Nicholas R. Beller
Department of Chemistry, Texas A&M University–Kingsville, Kingsville, TX 78363

Abstract
High-pressure liquid chromatography was successfully introduced in the undergraduate advanced organic chemistry laboratory to reinvestigate the cyanide-catalyzed condensation of benzaldehyde to benzoin. In addition to an increase in overall yield and purity of the product over the existing procedure the experiment provided the students with a practical hands-on introduction to modern HPLC and its application in process optimization.
Supplement
Instructions for the students and notes for the instructor are available.
