Classic Diels Alder
Abstract The goal of this experiment was to use a Diels-Alder reaction with anthracene as the diene and maleic anhydride as the dienophile to synthesize 9,10-
dihydroanthracene-9,10-α,β-succinic acid anhydride. Using melting point analysis, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, the final product was examined for purity and identity.
Introduction
In this experiment, anthracene and maleic anhydride were combined to create a
complex compound using the Diels-Alder reaction. It was anticipated that the
reaction would produce 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-α,β-succinic acid anhydride.
Procedure
1.
Preheated the equipment to ~180-200 °C.
2.
Assembled a reflux setup.
3.
Weighed 100 mg anthracene and 55 mg maleic anhydride.
4.
Added 1 ml xylene to the vial, attached condenser, and refluxed for 30 min.
5.
Cooled the reaction mixture, transferred to a vial, and cooled in an ice bath.
6.
Vacuum filtered, rinsed with cold xylene, and allowed crystals to dry.
7.
Weighed the product, recorded mass, and determined melting point and IR.
Data
Theoretical amount of 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-
-α,β-succinic acid anhydride: 161mg
Mass of 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-α,β-succinic acid anhydride: 96mg
% Yield: 0.096/(0.005x276.3)x100=61.9%
MP of unknown: Heated to 260C and did not melt

Questions
1.
Draw the mechanism (curly arrows) for the reaction of anthracene with maleic anhydride.
2.
Why is xylene used as the solvent in the reaction instead of benzene or toluene?
It is used as a high-boiling solvent so that the reaction will work fast enough.
3.
Why were we able to use an air-cooled condenser in this reaction instead of a water-cooled condenser?
This is because using water cooled condenser will result in the water reacting again with maleic anhydride or maybe the product. The reverse reaction would also take place. 4.
Why did we need to use a drying tube in the reaction? What might happen if a drying tube wasn’t used?
The drying tube allows moisture to be extracted and contained calcium chloride which has a high affinity for water and can absorb it. Without it we would not be able to obtain a pure product. 5.
On the NMR provided for the product, what protons on the product structure correspond to signals A-C? You do
not need to assign which specific H’s are in each signal.
6. On the NMR for the product, what protons on the product structure correspond
to signal D?
7. On the NMR for the product, what protons on the product structure correspond
to signal E

Interpret the NMR results in terms of purity. What should a chemist do to improve the yield or purity of the product?
Discuss the key parts of the NMR for the starting material and pure product. Focus on the peaks that show up after 3 ppm. For the starting material, discuss what those 2 peaks (around 3.5 ppm and 4.7 ppm) correspond to in the structure of cyclohexanol. For the pure product, discuss why those 2 peaks are missing, and there is a new peak for 2H at around 5.6 ppm.
Then, discuss the NMR for your actual product from the reaction. Does it contain pure product? If not, what else is there? How do you know this based on the NMR?
Based on your understanding of the reaction and LeChatelier’s principle, how can you improve the reaction yield? How can you better purify the reaction product?

8. One stereoregular form of polystyrene (A) has a 'H NMR
spectrum containing a triplet centered at about 1.4 ppm and a
quintet at about 1.9 ppm. Another stereoregular form (B) has an
octet at about 1.6 ppm and a quintet at about 2.3 ppm. (Both
spectra also exhibit phenyl proton resonances further
downfield.) Interpret the spectra and determine which
corresponds to isotactic and which to syndiotactic. (Syndiotactic
polystyrene was first reported by N. Ishihara and co-workers in
a 1986 paper. You may wish to locate the paper and check your
answer.)

The experimental melting point for the aqueous layer was 260-261 celcius. The experimental melting point for the organic layer was 76.9-78.7 celcius.
The following was my procedure:
IntroductionThe reaction mixture in this experiment contains 4-bromobenzaldehyde, methanol, and aqueous potassium hydroxide. A reaction occurs that produces two organic compounds, compound 1 and compound 2. Both are solids at room temperature. Your task is to isolate, purify, and identify both compounds. A specific procedure is given for preparing the compounds, but you will need to work out the procedures for most other parts of this experiment.Experimental ProcedureThis procedure should produce enough of each compound to complete the experiment; however, in some cases, it may be necessary to run the reaction a second time. Although this experiment can be done individually, it works…

1,3-Pentadiene
Ethylene
3-Methylcyclohexene
(a racemic mixture)
The Diels-Alder reaction between a diene and an alkene is quite remarkable in that it is
one of the few ways that chemists have to form two new carbon-carbon bonds in a single
reaction. Given what you know about the relative strengths of carbon-carbon sigma and
pi bonds, would you predict the Diels-Alder reaction to be exothermic or endothermic?
Explain your reasoning.
