Acid-Catalyzed Hydration of 1-Hexene
Objective:
The purpose of this experiment is to understand the process of acid-catalyzed hydration
by reacting 1-Hexene with water in the presence of an acid catalyst. Converting
1-Hexene into 2-Hexanol by the acid catalyst. While analyzing the product by gas
chromatography, IR spectroscopy, and or NMR spectroscopy.
Introduction:
The goal of this experiment being performed was to have an alkene reaction using
1-hexene for our main material. In order to have a hydration reaction, the alkene
compound must be hydrated with water in the presence of an acid as the catalyst. The
reason for this experiment to be performed, sulphuric acid was used as our catalyst
compound, which donates as a hydrogen. We as well try to accomplish preparing an
alcohol using alkene as the key material and lastly, determine the major alcohol
component, 2-hexanol. The alcohol compounds are synthesized through hydration of
alkenes. This involves net addition to break the bonds of the alkene compound. This
creates a carbocation located on carbon number two. Following Markovnikov's rule,the
water molecule then attacks the carbocation, causing the oxygen in the water molecule
to be electron-deficient. Deprotonation of the oxygen then results in an alcohol on
carbon number two. The resulting product is a racemic mixture of 2-hexanol.
Procedure:
1.
Place 1.0 mL of H2SO4 in a 3mL and adding 0.5 mL of 1-hexene and a magnetic
stir bar
2.
Place on a stir plate and turn it on for the stirring magnet to stir smoothly at the
highest setting for 20 min
3.
Add 0.5 mL of 1-hexene to the same solution letting it stir for another 20 min
4.
Transfer the solution to a 10 mL Erlenmeyer flask letting it sit to cool down and
placing it in an ice bath
5.
Measure 4 mL of 9M NaOH in a graduated cylinder and using a pasteur pipet
transfer 1mL of 9M NaOH to the vial letting it mix and swirl with the solution
placing it in the ice bath right after putting each drop
-
The solution should have some color change as the time goes by from orange- to
pink to light yellow as the NaOH is being added and there should be a solid
formed at the bottom
6.
Once done with that we will collect the liquid product in the reaction and using the
buchner funnel and filter paper we will vacuum it
7.
We will measure the mass of a empty 50 mL beaker recording it down and then
we will pour the liquid we got after vacuuming and then we will measure the new
mass and record it down again
8.
Calculate and record the mass of the liquid product.

(Mass of filter paper)
9.424 g = Actual yield
Mass for 1 mole ( 1- Hexene ) = 6 x 12 + 12 = 84 g
Mass for 1 mole (hexanol-1)
= 6 x 12 + 14 + 16 = 102g
10mL 85% / H2SO4 mass
= 85 x 10 / 98.079 = 8.66g
Total Reactants used =
8.66 g + 5.00 g = 13.66 g
102 x 5 / 84 = 6.07142857 = 6.07 g hexanol
%
Theoretical yield =
( 6.07 g / 13.66g) x100 = 44.4 %
Theoretical yield = ( actual yield / percentage yield) x 100
21.225 g = (9.424 g / 44.4) x 100
Percent yield = ( actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100

After the Williamson ether synthesis was performed, a student obtained 100 mg of crude product. To purify the product the student did a recrystallization:
To begin the purification, the student took a 400 ml flask and dissolved a substance in 40 ml of hot water by creating a saturated solution, all of this was conducted on a hot plate. After this, they immediately
put the flask in the fridge and waited for considerable crystal formation. During the last step, the student performed a vacuum filtration by carefully turning the vacuum on, putting a filter paper inside the
Buchner funnel, and pouring the slurry. After the substance dried, the student weighed the final product, did a 'H NMR and IR experiment and analyzed the spectra. However, the final yield was much lower than
was expected as well as analysis showed a lot of impurities.
