Abstract The preparation of 7.7-dichlorobicyclo [4.1.0]heptane which is also known as 7‚7-dichloronorcarane was done by reacting cyclohexene ‚ chloroform and a base( 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide) with benzyl triethylammonium chloride. The latter being a water soluble phase transfer catalyst (PTC).reaction was performed at room temperature and was distilled at atmospheric pressure. The mechanism of action of the above mentioned PTC is described in the text along with the mechanism for the addition

Ohnmacht CHEM 0330 Scott Caplan 10/30/12 Abstract: In Organic Chemistry‚ many different methods are used to synthesize organic compounds from various components. In this lab‚ cyclohexanol was dehydrated to cyclohexene through an elimination reaction. In order to separate the cyclohexene product from the cyclohexanol starting component‚ previously learned lab techniques such as extractions and simple distillation were used. The formation of the product was verified by performing a Bromine test

naked eye. It was concluded that 5 of the combinations proved soluble‚ 2 completely insoluble‚ and 2 were insoluble at room temperature but soluble if heated. Also tested was the reactivity of cyclohexane and cyclohexene in sulfuric acid which tested to prove reactivity between cyclohexene but not cyclohexane. Finally tested was the reaction between bromine and alkenes‚ which showed reaction between the more polar alkenes than non polar. Introduction

Francesca; Lañez‚ Kristine Department of Psychology College of Science University of Santo Tomas España Manila 1015 Abstract A hydrocarbon is strictly composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms only. Five hydrocarbons were used namely hexane‚ cyclohexene‚ toluene‚ naphthalene (in hexane)‚ and the unknown (which will be known through parallel chemical tests). Three tests‚ nitration test‚ bromine test and basic oxidation test were conducted to fully differentiate each type of hydrocarbon from one

recyclable catalyst will be examined. This article will discuss how manipulating equivalents of 30% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) affect the product yield. Results show product yield was affected when changing H2O2 equivalents. Equivalent ratio 1:4 (cyclohexene to H2O2) was most ideal‚ with an average yield of 27.37%. Understanding ideal greener approaches may help mediate the negative environmental impact. _______________________________________________________________ Adipic acid (ADA) is used in

Katie Smith April 11‚ 2013 Competitive Nucleophiles Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to compare the nucleophilicities of chloride and bromide ions toward the n-butyl and t-pentyl alcohols. We were able to analyze this by using refractometry to measure the amounts of alkyl chloride and alkyl bromide in each reaction. Experiment Scheme (Procedure A) To begin the experiment‚ we assembled a reflux apparatus in the fume hood with a 100 mL round bottom flask and a condenser

Procedure: Oxone reaction Dissolve 0.40 g oxone ® in 2.0 mL of water by shaking vigorously in a sealed vial. (Caution! Be sure the vial is sealed because oxone is a strong oxidizer.) Dissolve 50 L of cyclohexene in 2.0 mL of acetone in a small Erlenmeyer flask. Cool the cyclohexene solution in an icebath‚ then add the oxone solution dropwise over 5 minutes with swirling in the icebath. Remove the Erlenmeyer flask from the icebath and allow the reaction to sit for 15-30 minutes. (To save

reactant loses a water molecule. In the presence of a strong acid like 85% phosphoric acid‚ an alcohol like-2-methylcyclohexanol can be dehydrated to form an alkene. In this experiment‚ alcohol was dehydrated by E1 elimination‚ in order to synthesize cyclohexene. First‚ alcohol is protonated by the acid. Second‚ during E1 elimination‚ a carbocation is formed by the removal of an oxonium ion to yield a secondary and a tertiary carbocation. The receiving flask had a few drops of water before beginning the
