Bromination Of E-Stilbene Lab Report

794 Words4 Pages

In this experiment, the bromination of E-Stilbene, or trans 1, 2 diphenylethene was performed in order to figure out whether the cation intermediate in the mechanism was cyclic or acyclic. The hypothesis was that if the product of the reaction was 100% meso- 1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane, or meso-stilbene dibromide, the intermediate was cyclic, but if there was a 50:25:25 ration of meso, D, and L isomers, the intermediate was acyclic. In the mechanism with the cyclic intermediate, the pi electrons in the E-Stilbene double bond attack the bromine molecule, causing heterolytic cleavage, resulting in the formation of a bromide ion, and a cyclic structure on the E-Stilbene where a bromine atom forms partial bonds with both the carbons involved in the double bond. This cyclic structure provides steric hindrance on one side of the E-Stilbene molecule. The bromide ion then attacks one of the carbons in the double bond, forming a bond with that carbon, and causing the other bromine atom to form a bond with the opposite carbon, resulting in the …show more content…

However, due to the hindrance from the cyclic structure, the bromide ion is only able to attack from the side opposite that of the cyclic structure. Since the cyclic structure can form on either side of the double

In this experiment, 1,2-diphenylacetylene was synthesized from trans-stilbene via bromination reaction using the "greener" reaction of HBr and hydrogen peroxide followed by elimination reaction involving potassium hydroxide. The theoretical yield of stilbene-dibromide due to the bromination of trans-stilbene was calculated to be 2.0519 grams, with 1.4797 grams recovered experimentally, for a 72.1% yield. The theoretical yield of 1,2-diphenylacetylene due to an elimination reaction involving KOH was found to be 1.07547 grams using 1.4598 grams of recrystallized stilbene dibromide. The percent yield based on the recovered 0.9221 grams was calculated at 85.7%. Bromination is the process by which two bromines are added across an alkene anti

Bromination Of Acetanilide And Aniline Lab Report

603 Words | 3 Pages

The objective of this lab was to perform halogenation reactions where acetanilide and aniline were brominated. The bromination of acetanilide can results in two possible products: 4-bromoacetanilide and 2-bromoacetanilide. Therefore, the melting point was used to confirm that 4-bromoacetanilide was formed and not 2-bromoacetanilide from the bromination of acetanilide. The bromination of aniline resulted into 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. At the end of the experiment, the mass of each bromination was determined to measure the reaction’s efficiency by calculating the percent yield.

For this experiment, a nitro arene was prepared and then the relative rates of bromination for a set of arenes was observed. Electrophilic aromatic substitution is the reaction of an electrophile with an aromatic ring to form a new bond between the aromatic ring and the electrophile. Two experiments were performed. First, the preparation of 4-nitro-1-bromobenzene takes place through a nitration of bromobenzene.

Free-Radical Chain Reaction Lab Report

In free-radical chain reactions, a diatomic halogen molecule is reacted with the most reactive hydrogen atom on a carbon chain to form a halide and a haloalkane. In the case of bromination, diatomic bromine is reacted with a carbon chain to form hydrobromic acid and an alkyl halide. The first step in the reaction is initiation, or the formation of bromine radicals. These radicals can then react with hydrogens along the carbon chain through propagation to form hydrobromic acid and a carbon radical. Additionally, the carbon radicals can react with other bromine radicals to form carbon-bromine bonds.

Bromohexane Test Lab Report

Through the use of a 5 mL conical vial, a spin vane, and a water-cooled condenser, a mixture of 0.5 mL of 1-hexene, 2 mL of 48% aqueous HBr, and 150 mg of tetrabutylammonium bromide is put under heat for 2 hours to reflux. The use of heat under reflux, in this case, is diverse from the tradition application of heat, due to the use of a water-cooled condenser under heat in order to prevent the escape of reagents, due to the fact that the organic reaction is very slow and takes a long time to display differences in effects, as well as the fact that though application of heat to the mixture may increase the rate of reaction, some organic compounds may also vaporize and disturb the proceeds of the reaction, due to the high heat and low boiling points of the compounds. Furthermore, a vigorous stir of the mixture under heat at this point is very important, for it enables and ensures the liquefying of all solids with the solvent. The reaction mixture is then put to cool to room temperature, which completes the initial reaction setup and reflux conditions. A HBr addition to 1-hexene and its product is shown

How To Write A Lab Report Vicinal Dihalide

1407 Words | 6 Pages

Halogenating an alkene will produce vicinal halides, which are compounds that have halogens on adjacent carbons. Halogenation occurs rapidly when Br2 or Cl2 are used as they give stable products. However, F2 is highly unstable and it gives side products thus, Br2 was used in this experiment. Bromination of alkenes occurs through the process of electrophilic addition reaction. Electrophilic addition reaction is when a nucleophile, which is the alkene which bears the negative charge as it has a pi () bond and is able to donate electrons, attacks an electrophile halogen atom which bear the partially positive charge.

The first band was yellow and at the bottom while the second band was orange and was at the top. There was more of the yellow band than the orange band. There was no third red band so the impurity, diacetylferrocene, was not produced. The solution was drained and collected into four test tubes. One contained just the solvent, two contained the yellow band (F1) and one contained the orange band (F2).

In the reaction mechanism, magnesium and anhydrous diethyl ether were added to bromobenzene (the limiting reagent). Adding the bromobenzene to the magnesium turnings quickly would form a biphenyl bi-product. Therefore, when added at the proper rate, this allowed magnesium to form a bond with bromine and with the alpha carbon that bromine was originally attached to. The magnesium then took the two electrons that it shared with the alpha carbon, making itself positively charged, and then detached itself from the molecule, creating a phenyl carbanion. The nucleophile then attacked the carbon on carbon dioxide, pushing the electron that the carbon shared with oxygen, onto the oxygen giving it a negative charge.

Introduction Electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) is an organic reaction in which an electrophilic reagent replaces a hydrogen attached to an aromatic ring. One of the most important type of EAS is halogenation, in this experiment, bromination of an aromatic compound. The main goal of this experiment is to investigate the activators in the aromatic system and how the substituent affect the activator’s efficacy through the products that have been obtained in the EAS reaction. The EAS reaction is a fairly simple procedure in which nucleophilic aromatic system, electrophilic compound, which is the pyridinium tribromide, and a catalyst are required. The procedure is usually done with the electrophilic compound being added to the aromatic compound with a catalytic compound mixed in.
