Hbr To 1-Hexene
Discussion and Interpretation of Results
The addition of HBr to 1-hexene created a 2-bromohexane, as indicated from the ethanol silver nitrate test and sodium iodide/acetone test. The observations when the product was subjected to these tests were similar to what were observed with the 2° bromide compound. When subjected to the silver nitrate test, the product produced a precipitate at the same rate of the 2° bromide compound, and the product produced a hue of yellow that was also similar to the 2° bromide compound. This observation matched the expectations that a 2-bromohexane would be the likely result of this experiment. However, some errors are inherent to this procedure. This can include some problems in the heat reflux step. Some reagents
