Experiment 8: The E1 Reaction: Synth of Cyclohexene Objective: The purpose of this experiment is to form an alkene through an E1 reaction utilizing purification and distillation. Table of Reagents: Compound Molar Mass (g/mol) Boiling Point (°C) Safety Considerations Cyclohexanol 100.158 25.93 Combustible liquid and vapor Phosphoric Acid 97.994 42.35 Corrosive to skin and metals Sulfuric Acid 98.079 10 Corrosive to metals, eyes, and skin Sodium Carbonate 105.989 851 Causes serious eye irritation, avoid contact with skin Sodium Sulfate 142.04 884 May cause eye and skin irritation Reaction Equations/Experimental Equipment and Apparatus:
Procedure: 1. Collect a kit with a fractionating column, distillation head, thermometer adapter, a vacuum adapter, and a drying tube from the stock room. 2. Set up the apparatus, similar to how the fraction distillation experiment was set up in CHM 205 except the fractionating column will not be packed. 3. Use a flask and vacuum adapter to prevent foul odors. 4. Add 7.72 mL of cyclohexanol, 3-4 boiling chips, 1.5 mL of 85% H 3 PO 4 , and 0.5 mL of concentrated H 2 SO 4 to the 50 mL round-bottom flask. 5. Swirl gently to mix the two layers. 6. Place the round-bottom flask in a heating mantle and fir the round-bottom flask with a fractionating column, distillation head, thermometer, 14/20 jacketed condenser, and a vacuum adapter. 7. Load the drying tube with CaCl 2 and attach a vacuum adapter with a short length of tubing. 8. Attach the microscale 14/10 round-bottom flask to the vacuum adapter to serve as the receiving flask. 9. Use the rheostat to heat the reaction mixture to a gentle reflux for ~5 minutes and then heat the flask more strongly to distill the cyclohexene/water mixture into the collection flask. 10. Distill until the volume remaining in the flask is ~2 mL. 11. Transfer distillate to a centrifuge tube and wash with 5 mL of water, then 5 mL of 10% sodium carbonate solution, and then 5 mL of brine solution, one after another. 12. Carefully separate the layers and transfer the organic layer to a small, dry Erlenmeyer flask. 13. If there are any visible water droplets, remove them using anhydrous sodium sulfate. 14. Stopper with a cork and allow to stand for ~5 minutes with occasional gentle swirling. 15. Pipet the organic liquid away from the drying agent and into a suitable container. 16. Pre-tare the container before adding the cyclohexene, then find the mass of collected cyclohexene to calculate the crude (pre-distillation) yield. 17. Determine the mass of the produce and calculate % yield. 18. Collect an IR spectrum of the product. Observations: At the start of the lab, the solution in the round bottom flask was a slightly yellow liquid. However, after distilling cyclohexane, the solution left in the round bottom mantle was dark brown. The solution began distilling around 78 °C. There was a distinct smell during the reaction from the formation of cyclohexene. The vapor rose through the fractionating column quickly and would cool down at the top of the column and condense in the condenser.
The product was a bit cloudy before the work up but cleared up after getting rid of the contaminants using water, sodium carbonate, brine solution and anhydrous sodium sulfate.

We were able to complete the experiment with a yield of 65.9 %. A possible cause for this low yield could be that not all of the cyclohexene was collected so that no contaminates would be picked up. Our IR spectroscopy showed no sign of alcohol (peak near the 3300 cm -1 mark). Our reaction did reach completion and we managed the heat and drip rate well. This tells us that our product was pure and did not contain any cyclohexanol and a majority of the contaminants were removed from the solution. Post Lab Question: 1. Zaitsev’s rule does not come into play during the reaction carried out in this experiment. Cyclohexanol is symmetrical in relative to the beta carbons meaning the end product would be identical. 2. False 3. 4.
5. 1-phenyl-1-propanol would be more reactive since benzylic carbocation, the intermediate, is stabilized with resonance. 6. 2, 3-dimethyl-2-butene a.

The IR of this experiment does not have an OH group (3300 cm -1 region). The cyclohexanol in the IR from the question does not have an aromatic double bond between carbons 8. D 9. B 10. D 11. D 12. D
David Antonevich 09/18/2023 CHM 206 N2 Jiuyan Chen Experiment 9: Oxidative Cleavage: Synth of Adipic Acid Objective: The purpose of this experiment is to apply oxidative cleavage of an alkene carbon double bond and phase transfer catalysts. The experiment involves a “green” synthesis of adipic acid using direct oxidation of cyclohexane with 30% H 2 O 2 via phase transfer catalysis.

Cyclohexene 82.14 82.8 Highly flammable liquid and vapor, harmful if swallowed Adipic Acid 146.14 337.5 151-153 Causes eye irritation, may cause skin or respiratory irritation Reaction Equations/Experimental Equipment and Apparatus: Procedure: 1. Add these reagents to a 50 mL round-bottom flask containing a stir bar (in the following order): a. 0.50 g of sodium tungstate dihydrate b. 0.5 g of Aliquat 336 3 c. 11.98 g of 30% hydrogen peroxide d. 0.37 g of KHSO 4 (stir the mixture) e. 2.00 g of cyclohexene
2. Fit the round-bottom flask with a 14/20 joint water-cooled condenser and heat the mixture just to reflux on a heating mantle that is attached to a rheostat. 3. Set the rheostat to about 25% power and reflux for one hour while stirring vigorously. 4. At the 30- and 45-minute mark, use a long pipet to wash any cyclohexene back into the reaction flask with about 0.5 – 1 mL of hot H 2 O. 5. While the reaction is still hot, you will need to pipet off the solution to a small beaker (do not pipet off any phase transfer catalyst or unreacted cyclohexene). 6. Leave the phase catalyst behind, 7. Pipet off all but 10% of the aqueous reaction mixture. 8. Cool the beaker in an ice bath and allow the precipitate to form within 15 minutes. 9. Collect the crude product by vacuum filtration using a Hirsch funnel. 10. Once the material has dried, weigh and find its melting point. (Calculate theoretical yield and actual percent yield) 11. Rinse residues of phase transfer catalyst and sodium tungstate into a marked waste container using acetone. 12. Wash the round-bottom flask with soap and water. 13. Dispose adipic acid into solid waste container for use in CHM 113 lab. 14. If the MP of their dry adipic acid is significantly below literature (151-153 °C), recrystallize using minimal hot water. 15. Obtain IR spectrum of product. Observations: The smell of the cyclohexene persisted. There was some cyclohexene that did rise during the reflux stage and condensed along the wall of the condensation tube. A tiny amount of water was needed to wash it back down. The product was still a bit damp when the melting point measurement was first made, therefore it was allowed to dry a little longer before being measured again for mass and melting point measurement. Data: Starting Cyclohexene: 2.00 g Adipic Acid Collected: 1.506 g Melting Point: 146.5 – 148.2 °C
Calculations: Theoretical Yield: 2 g cyclohexene 1 mol cyclohexene 82.14 gcyclohexene 1 molecyclohexene 1 moladipic acid = 0.0243 moladipic acid 0.0243 moladipic acid 146.14 gadipic acid 1 mole adipicacid = 3.56 g Actual Yield: 1.506 g Percent Yield: 1.506 g 3.56 g 100 = 42.3% Discussion and Conclusion: Adipic acid synthesis was conducted in this experiment. The determined melting point of 146.5–148.2 C was not consistent with the literature value of 151–153 C. The collected product may have had some impurities which are reflected in the IR spectra which has observable peaks at 1692 and 3402 cm -1 . This may have contributed to its lower melting point. The IR equipment was flawed and was not able to produce 100 percent reliable readings. The percent yield was 42.3%. Post Lab Questions:

1. a. Catalysis: By using Aliquat 336 as a phase transfer catalyst let it be reused b. Design Safer Chemicals: Using H 2 O 2 as an oxidant makes the by product be H 2 O which is safer than N 2 O c. Safer Chemistry for Accident Prevention: Having water be the by product is much safer than other reagents usually used. 2. 3. a. Nitric acid is oxidized in the modern industrial synthesis of adipic acid to produce cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. These reagents are made by the hazardous chemical benzene's synthesis. Nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas, is also released when nitric acid is used. https://www.giz.de/en/worldwide/42370.html b. Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the loss of the ozone layer, global warming, and the potential for acid rain. Every year, roughly 400,000 metric tons of nitrous oxide waste are released during the manufacture of adipic acid. https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2023/ta/d2ta08928a 4. 2.2 millionmetric tons 1000 kg 1 metricton 1000 g 1 kg 1 mol 146.14 gadipic acid = 151 10 10 moladipic acid 151 10 10 N 2 O ¿ 44.013 g 1 mol = 6.63 10 11 g N 2 O 5.
