Bromination of Trans-Cinnamic Acid Christopher B. Martin CHEM 3411 1 Mechanism of Bromine Addition to Alkenes Understanding the chemical mechanism (order of bonds broken and made as well as intermediates formed) has a great value in chemical synthesis. The chemical mechanism of a reaction will influence the rate of the reaction‚ the stereochemistry of the product(s)‚ and the extent of possible undesired side reactions. Organic reaction mechanisms investigate the path towards a desired product

Experiment 1 :Alkanes&Alkenes:Combustion and action of sulphuric acid. Introduction In the study of organic chemistry‚ the organic compounds which are made up of carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. They can be gases as‚ propane‚ they can be liquids‚ for example‚ benzene‚ or they can be low-melting solids and waxes‚ for example‚ polystyrene. There are four classifications of hydrocarbons; saturated hydrocarbons or alkanes‚ unsaturated hydrocarbons or alkenes and alkynes‚ cycloalkanes‚ and

Stereochemistry of the Addition of Bromine to trans-Cinnamic Acid Introduction/Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to carry out the bromination of trans-cinnamic acid‚ to determine the stereochemistry of the dibromide product of 2‚3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid‚ and find out whether the reaction proceeds by the usual bromonium ion mechanism or some other mechanism. In this experiment trans-cinnamic acid was mixed with glacial acetic acid and stirred in which then bromine/acetic acid solution

variety of methods to examine the physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons. The first experiment we tested a variety of solvents to see if they dissolved our alkane (Decalin). One would expect that non-polar solvents will dissolve alkanes because they are non polar as well 1. If the solvent did not dissolve in the alkane we heated the solution with a heat gun‚ because higher temperature increases solubility because energy in the form of heat can break bonds and allow for the molecules to

Acetylene gas was used for the selective reactivity of hydrocarbons to functional group tests; Bayer’s test‚ Bromine test light‚ Bromine test dark‚ and Tollen’s test. In Bayer’s test‚ only Acetylene‚ Eugenol and Unknown hydrocarbon 2 reacted positively and the rest retain the purplish color of KMnO4. On the other hand‚ the five compounds in Bromine test with light reacted positively. In Bromine test dark‚ Hexane and Unknown hydrocarbon 1 did not react because light (UV) is absent. Lastly‚ in Tollen’s
