Hypothesis
The reaction of specific chemicals in methanol will yield a new organic compound.
Conclusion
The expected product was not obtained; instead, a different organic salt was formed.
Supporting Evidence
- The reaction was conducted in methanol.
- The product formed was hexane-1,6-diaminium 3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-2-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoate.
- The crystal structure was analyzed using X-ray diffraction.
Takeaway
Scientists mixed some chemicals and expected to get one thing, but they got something else instead.
Methodology
The chemicals were mixed and refluxed, then allowed to crystallize naturally.
Limitations
The reaction conditions may have affected the expected outcome.
