Lab Protocol #8 - Dehydration of 3‚3-dimethyl-2-butanol KEYWORDS: alkenes‚ E2‚ E1‚ carbocation stability‚ elimination A. Introduction. The dehydration of alcohols is an ELIMINATION reaction that is commonly used to form alkene molecules. The mechanism for the dehydration of alcohols consists of transforming the –OH functional group into a better leaving group by using a strong acid to protonate the alcohol. After –OH has been transformed into –OH2+‚ it becomes easier to break the σ-bond between the

Cyclohexanol Aim: To prepare an alkene‚ cyclohexene‚ by the dehydration of an alcohol‚ cyclohexanol‚ and better understand the processes that take place during this reaction. Introduction: One of the common ways of preparing an alkene is through the dehydration of an alcohol. In this experiment cyclohexanol is dehydrated to prepare cyclohexene while using sulfuric acid as a catalyst. A bromine test can be later done to ensure that the end product is an alkene. Procedure: The procedure

The reason it is able to react with the Maleate alkene is due to the presence of the ester groups. these groups are allowing the maleate to resonate and pull the electrons from the alkene towards the esters creating partial positive charges on the carbons of the carbon-carbon double bonds formed next to the carbon-oxygen bonds. Pbu3 can attack these partial positive

solubility Boiling points increase as intermolecular attractive forces increase. For the alkanes‚ which are non-polar hydrocarbons‚ the intermolecular forces are induced dipole forces. In the case of the alcohols‚ the intermolecular forces include induced dipole forces‚ dipole forces‚ and hydrogen bonding. Induced dipole forces increase with increasing molecular weight‚ so the boiling points of the straight chain alkanes increase as the number of carbon atoms in the chain increases. Therefore pentane

Alkenes by Elimination Kyle Peterson Chem. 243a Matt Judd‚ Sec. 25 Date Performed: 11/12/03 Abstract: The objective of this experiment is to successfully perform a dehydration of a 2-butanol and a dehydrohalogenation of 2-bromobutane to form the products 1-butene‚ trans-2-butene‚ and cis-2-butene. It was found that a dehydration of 2-butanol yielded 4.6% 1-butene‚ 67.3% trans-2-butene‚ and 28.1% cis-2-butene‚ and a dehydrohalogenation of 2-bromobutane yielded 19.1% 1-butene‚ 69.9% trans-2-butene

ISOMERIZATION OF AN ALKENE Martin‚ Marilen1‚ Lovenia‚ Melden D.2 1Professor‚ School of Che-Chm-BE-MSE‚ Mapua Institute of Technology; 2Students‚ Chm145L/A41‚ School of Che-Chm-BE-MSE‚ Mapua Institute of Technology ABSTRACT The experiment was conducted to accomplish the following objectives. The first objective aims to synthesize an isomer of alkenes. This was done by converting maleic acid to fumaric acid. This conversion was accomplished by applying a heat-catalyzed reaction on maleic acid

Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize isopentyl acetate via an esterification reaction between acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol‚ using concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The product was washed with sodium hydrogen carbonate‚ as well as with water‚ then dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The product was then distilled using a Hickman still and characterized using infrared spectroscopy. The percent yield of isopentyl acetate was 61.52%. This may have been low due to
