first three parts of the Cyclohexanol Cycle. The cyclohexanol was first converted to cyclohexene and water by simple distillation (product: 6.5395g‚ 79.75% recovery). The cyclohexene then underwent a bromination reaction by addition of concentrated HBr and a 30% H2O2 solution‚ followed by an extraction of the aqueous phase. This produced trans-1‚2-dibromocyclohexane (product: 12.8886g‚ 67.34% recovery). The trans-1‚2-dibromocyclohexane was reduced by zinc metal to cyclohexene. The reaction was conducted

Bromination of trans- Stilbene to form 1‚2- Dibromo- 1‚2-diphenylethane Abstract 1‚2-dibromo-1‚2-diphenylethane was produced by the bromination of trans-stilbene through the addition of hydrobromic acid (HBr) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). This experiment was a greener bromination of stilbene because bromine was generated in situ and ethanol was used as the solvent. The melting point (243.30°C)‚ mass (.427g)‚ and percent yield (45.54) of the crystals were recorded. The FTIR

stir the solution in the conical vial while it is in the reflux condenser. The vigorous stirring is to ensure the interaction between the 1-hexene‚ the HBr‚ and the tetrabutylammonium bromide. Tetrabutylammonium bromide is used as a phase catalyst (one that helps the reactants move into the same phase phase) to help proceed the reaction faster since HBr and 1-hexene are the aqueous and organic phases respectively. The use of a reflux condenser is also crucial for the success of the reaction. The reflux
