Discussion This experiment done in lab was the Bromination of (E)-Stilbene to produce dibromide stilbene. Though there are three products, the meso-stilbene product is the major product. In order to get theunderstand how to get the correct major product, the full mechanism must be done. In order to achieve the meso product, the double bond in between the carbons attackss molecular bromine which in turn breaks the bromine-bromine bond. The attacked bromine forms a cyclic bridged bromine ion intermediate with a positive formal charge on it. While centered in between phenyl groupscarbons, the bromine that was notn’t attacked gainsned the electrons from the bromine-bromine bond making the molecule negative. The nonattacked bromine then attacks one of the carbons breaking one of the the bridged bromine bonds. The nonattacked bromine ends up on the opposite side of the bromine intermediate. The product is the anti-configuration of dibromide stilbene. The meso product can be flipped in order to get the enantiomer of the product. The other products that are formed during the Bromination of (E)-Stilbene are the D- and L- configurations of dibromide stilbene. Similar in mechanism to the meso-product mechanism, the double bond attacks one of the bromines breaking the bromine-bromine bond. As far are the nonattacked …show more content…
Typically, 90% of the final product is meso while only 10% is the D/L enantiomers. This is because the though both cations can form at the same time in lab, equilibrium favors the cyclic over an acyclic product due to stability. This causes more of the meso product to be formed rather than the D/L product to be formed. The cyclic product in addition, is favored more due to the delocalization of the positive charge. In other words, the charge is distributed over the carbons in the bridged bromine ion intermediate as opposed to being centralized. To this end, this means that the electron density is
Many sources of error were responsible for recovering a small amount of product. Introduction: The carbon-carbon bond formation is an important tool in organic chemistry to construct the simple as well as an organic compound. There are several
The other possibility for the unknown neutral, 1,4-dimehtoxybenzone, would have had an H NMR spectra with two peaks; however, the spectra obtained did not show chemical shifts for an aromatic ester group and had many hydrogens in the aromatic
After adding the acetic acid and hydrobromic acid to the solution, and heating and recrystallizing the solution, the product triphenylmethyl bromide was created and had a mass of 0.103 g. The theoretical yield was calculated by determining the limiting reagent in the reaction. The triphenylmethanol was the limiting reagent in the reaction. The total amount of mass from the triphenylmethanol was converted to moles by using the molar mass of the triphenylmethanol. The amount of moles was then converted into grams to determine the theoretical yield, 0.125 g. The percent yield was then calculated by dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying the result by 100%. The percent yield was 82.4%.
In this test, primary halides precipitate the fastest while secondary halides need to be heated in order for a reaction to occur. Comparison of the rates of precipitation of the obtained product to standard 1° and 2° bromide solutions will show whether the product is a primary or secondary
Chem 51LB Report Ngoc Tran - Student ID # 72048507 The purpose of this lab is to examine the composition of three components of gas products of elimination reaction under acidic condition by conducting the dehydration of primary and secondary alcohol, and under basic condition by conducting the base-induced dehydrobromination of 1-bromobutane and 2-bromobutane. Then gas chromatography is used to analyze the composition of the product mixtures. Gas chromatography (mobile phase) is used to analyze the composition of three components of the gas products. A syringe needle with gas product is injected into the machine, and the component is eluted and the composition is related to the column or the peaks.
The product obtained was (2S, 3R)-2, 3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid and (2R, 3S)-2, 3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid, which are enantiomers. This was determined through melting point analysis. The melting point range for the product was 198 to 202 degrees Celsius, which is a lot close to the given melting point of the anti-addition product, 202-204 degrees Celsius. The given melting point range was 93.5-95 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, the syn-addition product is unlikely and difficult to produce due to stereochemistry selectivity.
Nevertheless, the latter is not used in this experiment since it is very reactive and extremely flammable. On the contrary, NaBH4 is relatively mild and it can be used with protic solvents. In this manner, 1.507 grs of the ketone 9-fluorenone were mixed with 30.0 ml of 95% ethanol in a 125 ml Erlenmeyer flask. The bright yellow mixture was stirred during 7 minutes until all the components were dissolved.
A racemic mixture is a mix of equal numbers of enantiomeric molecules. Each enantiomer rotates plane-polarized light in an equal but opposite direction and is optically inactive because they are mirror images. when an optically active compound is synthesized, the product formed is found to be an optically inactive racemic mixture containing equal amounts of both l and d forms. The process where enantiomers are separated into l and d forms is referred to as “resolution”. the mixture is then said to have been resolved.
Experiment 12: Dehydrobromination Discussion In this experiment, a double elimination reaction was performed on meso-stilbene dibromide, to form diphenylacetylene by eliminating two hydrogen and two bromine atoms in he presence of potassium hydroxide. The product was filtered and identified by comparing melting point data, and percent yield was calculated. Since an E2 reaction was performed in this experiment, the ideal conformation for the hydrogen and bromine would have been anticoplanar. However, since the phenyl groups were bulky and the atom was not symmetric, the hydrogen and bromine could at best be antiperiplanar.
One conformation placed the 4-tert-butyl substituent in most stable, locked the equatorial position with the carbonyl pointing up. Oxidation the 4-tert-cyclohexanol produced a greater amount of the more stable conformer with tert-butyl in the equatorial position relative to the conformer with tert-butyl in the un-favored axial position. The faces of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone are non-equivalent for nucleophilic attack due to top –face steric hindrance imposed by a tert-butyl group in the equatorial position and the presence of much smaller, axial deuterium atoms adjacent to the carbonyl on the bottom-face of the

The possible explanations and changes to make are similar to the previous questions. Conclusion and Future Experiment 18. The identity of the product and unknown were 4-tert-butylbenzyl phenol ether and tert-butyl phenol respectively. The key to making this discovery was the melting point and TLC results!
This was proved by utilizing the IR spectrum to verify the C =O was not in the final product as it lacked the 1640 cm-1 peak. The melting point of 113-115 degrees C proved that the final product obtained was the E-Stilbene. The TLC plate proved that the E and the Z product was produced, show cased by the double intensity of the DCM spot to the final product’s spot, both which had an Rf of 0.92. The double intensity proved that both products were produced, but through heating and filtering, the Z-Stilbene was
Bromination is a type of electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction where one hydrogen atom of benzene or benzene derivative is replaced by bromine due to an electrophilic attack on the benzene ring. The purpose of this experiment is to undergo bromination reaction of acetanilide and aniline to form 4-bromoacetanilide and 2,4,6-tribromoaniline respectively. Since -NHCOCH3 of acetanilide and -NH2 of aniline are electron donating groups, they are ortho/para directors due to resonance stabilized structure. Even though the electron donating groups activate the benzene ring, their reactivities are different and result in the formation of different products during bromination.
