Give 5 observations that occurred for an duels-alder reaction between anthracene, maleic anhydride, and xylene and explain why those observations happened

Solutions

Expert Solution

The five observation for the above Diels - alder reaction are as follows:

i) The reaction was carried out in a hood . This may be due to irritating smell of xylene and to avoid any accidental effect.

ii) The reaction was carried out at ~ 138°C. This is because the diene (anthracene) used in this case is not so active. To activate the reaction heating condition is applied .

iii) Initially solubility of anthracene was low.

iv) As time goes anthracene gets dissolved this may be due to the start of reaction .

v) After the reaction when the reaction mixture bath was cooled in a icebath, solid product was precipitated . This is because solubility of product decreases at low temperature.

In an upcoming experiment, you will carry out the Diels Alder reaction of anthracene-9-methanol and N-methylmaleimide. To simplify the modeling, examine the reaction of anthracene with maleimide (shown above). The goal of this exercise is to examine the dramatic changes in molecular structure and increases in molecular complexity that accompany the Diels Alder reaction.
