Experiment #2: Stereochemistry of Alkenes and Molecular Modeling By: Nouhad Mokdad Section: 53 TA’s: Sheida and Ryan Mills Lab Partner: David Wilson Date of Experiment: October 7th‚ 2008 Purpose: The purpose is to study the difference between the stereochemistry of the two isomers‚ maleic and fumaric acid. The first part of the experiment called for the conversion of maleic acid into fumaric acid with the addition of a proton using the acid-catalyzed isomerisation‚ vacuum filtration‚

Form 6 Chemistry Practical Experiment 18: Cis-Trans Isomers of But-2-enedioic acid Introduction Cis-trans isomers are a kind of stereoisomers called geometrical isomers. Due to the inability of rotation about the C=C bond‚ some compounds possess cis and trans isomers. But-2-enedioic acid is an example of having both isomers. Maleic acid Fumaric acid Cis and trans isomers have different physical properties such as boiling point‚ solubility‚ density and stability

that Awful Smell”? - Bromine There are 118 known elements to man‚ and each of them differ in its own way. They vary from weight‚ structure‚ color‚ and much more‚ but many of them are similar to others and can be grouped accordingly. One element that varies drastically from others is one whose stench is so horrible‚ that the original name of the element was changed from muride to bromos‚ which means “stench” in Greek. Thus‚ bromine was named. Like many other known elements‚ bromine was discovered by

Stereochemistry of Dihydroxylation Reactions Question: Can the stereochemical outcome of dihydroxylation reactions be determined by thin layer chromatography? Overview: In this experiment‚ you will perform two reactions that transform alkenes into diols. While similar in functional group transformation‚ these reactions may lead to stereochemically different products. The two possible products are diastereomers of one another‚ and therefore have different physical chracteristics. After

EXPERIMENT A: CIS-TRANS CONVERSION OF BUTENEDIOIC ACID PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT 1. Maleic acid is the cis version and fumaric acis is the trans version of butenedioic acid. 2. 3. See attached paper. 4. Maleic anhydride is the compound that crystalizes in part A in the experiment. 5. HCl acts as a catalyst to break one of the carbonyl group in the maleic acid which rotates the structure to form a trans structure of the butonal acid which is the fumaric acid. And it does so by donating

Bromine’s physical state is a liquid‚ and it’s density is 3.122 g/cm^3. Bromine has a boiling point of 137.8ºF‚ which is also 58.8ºC. isotopes (Br-80)- 69-97 It’s melting point is 19ºF‚ also is -7.2ºC. Bromine is not very reactive as fluorine or chlorine but it’s way more reactive than iodine. Bromine is a nonmetal‚ and it’s a natural element. Bromine is known to be a very dense reddish brown toned liquid when formed compounds with elements such as chlorine‚ it works as a bleaching agent. It evaporates

this experiment‚ the stereochemistry of 2‚3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic was found to determine syn or anti addition of bromines. The melting point was 199-203°C and the NMR J values angle is at 167 which both prove the erythro-2‚3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic.

Old Dominion University ORGANIC 214 Alkene Addition Submitted by: Alkene addition: Bromination of (E) Stilbene Introduction: In this lab we used the greener approach‚ which involves the addition of bromine across a double bond. When bromine reacts with E-stilbene (trans-1‚2-diphenylethene)‚ two new chiral carbons are created from the sp2 carbons‚ therefore 3 different dibrominated stereoisomers are possible: meso-(1R‚2S)‚ or the raceminc mixture-(1R‚2R) or (1S‚2S)-dibromo-1‚2-diphenylethane
