 * Group 1: ** Due to the procedural errors that occurred (See the notes regarding Group 1's procedure in the "Procedure" section), all product was lost. Therefore, no further testing such as melting point, IR, or NMR was completed. The product was lost before any of it had crystallized, so it is difficult to tell whether or not we would have had any of our expected product from our reaction of phenol with chloroacetic acid to make phenoxyacetic acid.


 * Group 2 **
