sulfate than cyclohexanol‚ excess anhydrous sodium sulfate may lead to the absorption of cyclohexane and thus loss of product. Anhydrous sodium sulfate absorbs water due to its polarity and therefore may also absorb cyclohexanol because of its polar O-H bond. If too much anhydrous sodium sulfate was added to the solution‚ part of the product would be absorbed too and thus a yield of less than 100% would be produced. 2. Lithium aluminum hydride would also reduce cyclohexanone to cyclohexanol. List three

[pic] ABSTRACT The purpose of this experiment is to prepare cyclohexene form cyclohexanol‚ and know the properties of alkene. The first part of this experiment is preparation of cyclohexene. Simple distillation set-up is assembled. (See Figure 1). Exactly 6.0mL of cyclohexanol is weighed in a quick-fit one-necked pear shaped flask. 1.50mL of 85% H3PO4 is measured using the 2mL pipet and added to the weighed cyclohexanol. Another 0.25mL of concentrated H2SO4 is also added. The reagents are mixed using

Experiment 8: Synthesis of Adipic Acid Performed November 8th & 10th By Jennifer Seitz Organic Chemistry 344 Section 803 Fall 2011 Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize adipic acid from cyclohexanol via an oxidation reaction that was catalyzed by sulfuric acid. Purity of the product was assessed by measuring the melting point. Physical Properties/Structures: Name | Formula | Molecular Weight (g/mol) | Boiling Point (0C) | Melting Point(0C) | Density(g/mL)

In the first experiment‚ cyclohexanol was oxidized to form cyclohexanone. This was accomplished by pouring 2.0 ml of cyclohexanol and 1.0 ml of acetic acid into a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask. Under a fume hood‚ slowly add 30 ml of bleach‚ and oxidizing agent‚ to the mixture and stir for 20 minutes. Acetic acid will react with bleach to make it a better oxidizing agent and form hopochlorous acid. Hypochlorous acid will then oxidize cyclohexanol. The mixture turned cloudy during the process but clear up

because it is an elimination reaction. Zaitsev’s rule says that the double bond that is more highly substituted or more stable will be dominant in the products. In the experiment the dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol takes place. 2 methyl-cyclohexanol has a very poor

Lab 22: 4-Methylcyclohexene Abstract: We treated 4-methylcyclohexanol with phosphoric acid‚ and after purification we produced the end product 4-methylcyclohexene. We determined we had a pure product based on the results of the tests with Br2 and KMnO4‚ as well as the IR absorbtion spectrum of the final product. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to obtain pure 4-methylcyclohexene by reacting 4-methylcyclohexanol and phosphoric acid. Through distillation

Procedure: The addition of 4.0 mL cyclohexanol‚ 1.0 mL of 85% phosphoric acid‚ and one boiling chip‚ were all added to a 10 mL round bottom flask that would be attached to the end of an assembled simple distillation set up. A sand bath was placed atop a hot plate‚ and the simple distillation mechanism was lowered into the sand bath with the bottom most piece (the 10 mL round bottom flask) submerged about half way. The distillation process was completed after a sufficient amount of liquid distillate

OXIDATION OF CYCLOHEXANOL TO CYCLOHEXANONE The oxidation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone involves the removal of hydrogen from the OH group. After separation and purification‚ an Infrared Spectrum will be run to determine the composition of the recovered material. Infrared Spectroscopy is a very powerful technique used in the determination of molecular structure and the identification of unknown organic materials. The infrared spectrum yields direct

Formation of an Alkene by Alcohol Dehydration Lab Report Balanced Chemical Equation for the Main Reaction Mechanism The acid-catalyzed dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohols involves non-isolable carbocation intermediaries. In the first step of the of the reaction mechanism below‚ a phosphoric acid catalyst adds a proton to the oxygen atom of the alcohol to form an oxonium ion. The OH is converted to a better leaving group as the positive charge on the oxygen weakens the carbon-oxygen
