wondering if this looks good or should I make the format some other way.

not sure if I should include the actuall synthesized product in each part.

Thank You.

seems like it's inadequate somehow..as if something is missing. =/

I think the format looks good. I would provide a synthesis for each step.

wondering if u got the mechanisms

on the front page?

actually that would look good if it was small. Not sure, should it go under Multistep like this

example

Multistep A,B
aniline (molecule) + sodium acetate tryhydrate(molecule)=> (above arrow is HCl) acetanilide(molecule) + acetic acid(molecule)

The thing is I'm not sure when to put something below or above an arrow. Is it when it is solvent then you put it there or can you put reactants as well (I think I've seen some but maybe those were solvents) In the reaction above HCl is there but not reacting well I didn't show it reacthing anyhow.

Thanks Dr.Bob

I misunderstood. For the front page, I assume that is a Title Page. If a title page I would just write the title, your name, report, date, etc. INSIDE, for the actual lab writeup, that's where I would break it down into the actual syntheses.

Based on the provided description, it seems like you are presenting a multistep synthesis of 4-Bromo-2-Chloro-6-Iodoaniline and you are unsure if the format looks good or if you should include the synthesized product in each part.

In order to determine if the format looks good, you should consider the purpose and audience of your presentation. Are you presenting this to a specific audience, such as your classmates or your instructor? If so, you may want to consider any guidelines or expectations they have provided.

In general, when presenting a multistep synthesis, it is important to have a clear and organized format to help your audience understand the process. You have already included headings for each step (A, B, C, etc.) along with corresponding dates, which is a good start. However, it might be helpful to provide more detailed information for each step, such as reaction conditions, reagents used, and the overall objective of each step. This will help the audience follow the synthesis and understand the significance of each step.

Regarding including the synthesized product in each part, it can be beneficial to include the final product of each step. This allows the audience to see the progress of the synthesis and understand how each step contributes to the overall goal. However, if the final product of each step is not significant or if it can be easily deduced by the reaction conditions and starting materials, it may not be necessary to include it in every part.

Overall, the format of your presentation should be clear, organized, and tailored to your audience's needs. Make sure to provide sufficient details for each step and consider the significance of including the synthesized product in each part.
