Experiment #9: Elimination Reactions
(Monday-Thursday, Nov. 13
th
-16
th
)
.
During this laboratory session you will use your knowledge of laboratory techniques to conduct a series of elimination
reactions to convert meso-stilbene dibromide into 1,2-diphenylethyne. The product will be purified by recrystallization.
The product will be characterized by chemical tests that involve advanced addition reactions, which you will soon be learning
in lecture. The product will also be analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) coupled with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID)
and a mass spectrometer (GC-MS).

General Information
A meso-compound (meso-stilbene dibromide) is used
as the starting material and it is important to be aware of
a few mechanistic details. The first step involves a base
induced elimination of hydrogen halide to produce a
haloalkene intermediate. This transformation proceeds
through a concerted E2 mechanism where the hydrogen
and the departing halide are in an anti-periplanar
orientation. The second step involves a second base
induced elimination of hydrogen halide to produce the
final product, 1,2-diphenylethyne. This second step also
proceeds through a concerted E2 mechanism, however in
this rather rare case the hydrogen and the departing
halide are in a syn-periplanar orientation.

. Reaction scheme of the dehydrobromination of
meso-stilbene dibromide
REACTION AND PURIFICATION
To a small test tube add meso-stilbene dibromide (400
mg) to triethylene glycol (2 mL). Stir using the magnetic
spin vane and the stir plate. After stirring for 2 minutes,
add ~200 mg of potassium hydroxide (do not crush KOH
pellets).
CAUTION: Potassium hydroxide is highly corrosive and
must be treated with caution. It is also hydroscopic so
the source container must be closed immediately after
use.

Prepare to heat the stirring solution using the aluminum
heat block and ~5 layers of aluminum foil insulating the
first two centimeters of the test tube that are
above
the
heating block (but leave a small vertical opening so that
you may view the reaction solution. Be sure to position
the test tube exactly in the center of the hot plate.
Position and clamp a digital thermometer so that it
directly measures the temperature of the reaction
mixture, but does
not
impede the spin vain from stirring.
Include a diagram of this described setup in your
notebook.
Be sure that the hot plate cord not touching the top of the
hot plate. Heat the reaction mixture to 170
°
C for 15
minutes. There is a lot of action going on here at the
molecular level.
Then remove the heat source to allow the reaction
mixture to cool to room temperature.
Add ~4 mL of
water and stir vigorously with a wooden stick for ~1
minute.
Place
the
test
tube
in
an
ice-bath
for
approximately 5 minutes to enhance precipitation. Using
vacuum filtration, collect the crude product. Rinse the
product with ~2 mL of water.
Crude Product Sample
: At this point, save ~15 mg of
crude product to be used for analysis
in case
your
recrystallization
is
NOT
successful.
If
your
recrystallization
IS
successful, then you can discard this
crude product sample at the end of the lab session.
Purification by Recrystallization
Recrystallize the bulk crude product using 70:30
ethanol:water mixture (you prepare this mixture).
If no crystals form, consider your options for inducing
nucleation.
Collect the recrystallized product by vacuum
filtration (this is the “
Purified
Product Sample”).
ANALYSIS
At this point, you will proceed with analysis of
EITHER
your “
Crude
Product Sample” OR your “
Purified
Product Sample” (use the latter if you have >15 mg). Be
sure to make note of which you use in your notebook,
and inform your instructor of which you are using.
Bromine in Dichloromethane Test.
Place a small
amount (~5 mg) of your product in a test tube and add 1
drop of the pre-made bromine in dichloromethane
(Br
2
/CH
2
Cl
2
) solution. Observe if a change in color
occurs between the original solution and upon exposure
to the Br
2
/CH
2
Cl
2
solution. You do not need to know the
mechanism
but
you
must
understand
what/why
observation is expected for a successful reaction product.
Note: Br
2
is responsible for the yellow color of the pre-
made solution. See the G&M textbook for details on this
chemical test, and think about the limitations of this test.
Bayer Test.
Place a small amount (~5 mg) of your
product in a test tube and dissolve it in 2 mL of ethanol.
In a separate test tube add
only
2 mL of ethanol to use as
a control. Add 1 drop of the prepared potassium
permanganate solution to each test tube. Observe if a
change in color occurs between the test tube containing
the sample and the control. You do not need to know the
mechanism
but
you
must
understand
what/why
observation is expected for a successful reaction product.
See the G&M textbook for details on this chemical test,
and think about the limitations of this test. Also,
be sure
to dispose of this material in the special “permanganate
waste” bottle
.
GC-FID
: Samples will be analyzed by GC-FID analysis.
Sample preparation will be described/demonstrated
during the session. You should have an understanding of
how the GC-FID spectrum would look if there were
residual (left over) starting material compound and
intermediate (mono-bromo alkene) compound in the
final product mixture in the case where they were not
properly removed by the purification steps.
GC-MS
: Selected samples will be analyzed by GC-MS
analysis. You should have an understanding of how the
MS
spectrum
looks
for
the
starting
material,
intermediate, and product.
Mass
. Determine the mass of your sample.
Optional
:
Place your product sample in your 50 mL beaker. Use
tape to label it with (i) your name, (ii) your section #
Take your labeled sample to the drop-off location to be
dried (by Instructors) in the vacuum oven.
After your sample has been dried in the vacuum oven
determine the mass and melting point.
Sample Submission
Submit your sample in a SMALL vial. NEATLY fill out
and attach a white adhesive label prior to submission of
your sample to your section Instructor.
Required Data Prediction/Analysis
:
You will have the opportunity to carry out activities that
aim to enhance your ability to predict and interpret GC-
FID,
GC-MS,
NMR
and
IR
spectroscopy
data.
Instructions for Analysis Practice will be provided
during the laboratory session.
Further, there should be time left at the end of this
session for you to ask questions, if you have them
regarding any laboratory course content.

website after your laboratory session.

Alcohols are acidic in nature. Therefore, a strong base can
abstract the acidic hydrogen atom of the alcohol in a process
known as deprotonation. The alcohol forms an alkoxide ion by
losing the proton attached to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl (
-OH) group. The alkoxide formed can act as a base or a
nucleophile depending on the substrate and reaction conditions.
However, not all bases can abstract the acidic proton of alcohols
and not all alcohols easily lose the proton. Deprotonation
depends on the strength of the base and the acidity of the
alcohol. Strong bases, such as NaNH2, can easily abstract a
proton from almost all alcohols. Likewise, more acidic alcohols
lose a proton more easily.
Determine which of the following reactions would undergo deprotonation based on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol.
Check all that apply.
