The elimination experiment performed this week proceeds via E2 mechanism according to the textbook. As you have learned in lecture, there is stereoselctivity as well as regioselctivity associated with the E2 mechanism. What do you expect the products of reaction to be? Which is the major product and which is the minor product? Explain your answer from both setereoselctivity and regioselectivity aspects.

Solutions

Expert Solution

The products of the E2 mechanism pathway are usually alkenes.

Regioselectivity means the formation of single structural isomer as the major one over the other isomer.

Stereoselectivity means the formation of single stereoisomer as the major one over the other isomer.

Coming to alkenes stability

1) The alkene with more substituents is most stable than the less substituted alkene.

For example

If you want to reproduce the shuttling experiment as performed during week 3. you will need to purchase Cycloheximide (CHX) from one of three potential suppliers. CHX has a molar mass of 281.35 g/mol and can be dissolved in DMSO, water, or EtOH but with different solubilities. You will need to use CHX at a final working concentration of 17 μg/mL in a 150 mm dish with a total media volume of 14 mL. Determine how much of the stock...

In a similar experiment to the one you have performed a student is measuring the equilibrium for an organic acid that is soluble in water and in cyclohexane, a nonpolar organic solvent. When shaken with the solution of water and cyclohexane, it distributes between the organic and aqueous phase. The two phases are separated and titrated with 0.12 M NaOH. Calculate the equilibrium constant for an acid where the titration of the aqueous phase requires 9.9 mL of the base...
