Pre Lab-Relative Rates of Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution
Name: Saj Jo Dan C. Odsey Date Performed: April 26, 2013
Lab-partner: Viktoria R. Beltran
RELATIVE RATES OF ELECTROPHILIC AROMATIC SUBSTITUTION
I. Objective(s)
In this Experiment, the relative reactivities of different substituted benzenes towards bromination will be determined, where bromine is dissolved in acetic acid.
Materials and apparatus
Test solutions: 0.2 M solutions in ethyl acetate: Benzene, chlorobenzene, phenol, nitrophenol, aniline and acetanilide.
Measuring pipettes (5 mL) micro test tubes 0.05 M Br2 in 90% CH3COOH Pasteur pipettes
0.05 M Br2 in cyclohexane II. Schematic Diagram of the Procedure
Relative Rates of Bromination
Add 2 drops of 0.05 M Br2 in 90% CH3COOH to 2 drops each of the test solutions in a micro test tube.
