Bromination reaction of alkenes
Consider the following two reactions:
Reaction #1:
- Bromination reaction with 1-methylcyclohexene
- Solvent: Diethyl ether
- Reagent: Br2
- Temperature of the reaction: room temperature
- The organic layer was extracted by using a separatory funnel and adding H2O
- Product #1 was obtained from recrystallization after extracting the organic layer
Reaction #2:
- Bromination reaction with 2-butene
- Solvent: Diethyl ether
- Reagent: Br2
- Temperature of the reaction: room temperature
- Product #2 was obtained by extracting the organic layer by using a separatory funnel and adding H2O
- No recrystallization was needed
Why is the product of reaction #2 not a mixture of products as in reaction #1?
