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

Dehydration of an alcohol • Preparation of an alkene • Distillation • Unsaturation tests THEORY An acid-catalyzed dehydration is a common way to synthesize an alkene from an alcohol. Use of a strong acid like sulfuric or phosphoric acid serves to protonate the alcohol "OH" group‚ forming an H2O molecule that is a much better leaving group. As the water leaves the starting material‚ a proton is also lost in an elimination process. The end result is the alkene product. The chemical equation that describes

precipitate‚ etc) 2) work in a short amount of time (instantly to 5 minutes) 3) only work with one functional group The following are chemical tests that we will use in this class. Some cover two related functional groups (such as the bromine test for alkenes and alkynes)‚ while other only a specific subcategory of that functional group (such as the iodoform test for methyl ketones). In some cases there can be false positives (compounds which do not have the functional group still give a result test)

also be cracked by thermal or steam cracking. ================================ Properties of Alkanes and Alkenes Alkenes have similar physical properties to the corresponding alkanes. They are both non-polar molecules with weak dispersion forces being the only intermolecular forces involved. Ethene‚ propene‚ and butenes are gases at room temp. as are the corresp alkanes. The higher alkenes‚ like the alkanes‚ are liquids. However‚ they are different chemically. ================================

CONCEPTS IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY • Inductive Effect : Inductive effect is defined as permanent displacement of shared electron pair in a carbon chain towards more electronegative atom or group. Types of Inductive effect : 1.Negative Inductive Effect : (—I effect‚ Electron withdrawing effect) when an electronegative atom or group (more electro negative than hydrogen)is attached to the terminal of the carbon chain in a compound‚ the electrons are displaced in the direction of the attached

From the table‚ the result of dehydration of secondary alcohol is expected‚ and it undergoes E1 elimination. As supposed in the theory and mechanism‚ because elimination can occur both sides of secondary carbocation‚ so there are three products: 1-butene‚ trans-2-butene and cis-2-butene with three peaks. The main product is trans-2-butene‚ because it is the most stable compound. However‚ the result of dehydration of primary alcohol is not expected. It is supposed to form only one product‚ 1-butene

Subject Content Most of the objectives specified in this section relate to Knowledge with Understanding‚ although some indication has been given as to where the skills of Handling Information and Solving Problems may be developed. Teachers are reminded that‚ in the written papers‚ 40% of the marks are allocated to these higher ’thinking’ skills. In almost every section‚ students should therefore be given practice at dealing with unfamiliar situations so that these higher thinking skills can be developed
