Abstract
Pooling the results obtained from the reaction between bromine and the cis and trans isomers of 1,2-diphenylethylenes allows students to discover the mechanism of anti addition which is common to most situations. Expansion of this experiment to include 1,1-diphenylethylene allows students the opportunity to discover the electrophilic substitution reaction. This serves as an excellent springboard for follow-up experiments on, and discussion of, electrophilic aromatic substitution.

A Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Sealed Vial for Delivery of Bromine
Ancil James Abney and Veljko DragojlovicJournal of Chemical Education2012 89 (2), 293-295A Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Sealed Vial for Delivery of Bromine
Ancil James Abney and Veljko DragojlovicJournal of Chemical Education2012 89 (2), 293-295An instructor can easily prepare an inexpensive polytetrafluoroethylene-sealed vial for delivery of bromine. The reaction design allows students to safely handle bromine outside a fume hood. Students are able to see and handle bromine and watch it being ...

The Addition of Bromine to 1,2-Diphenylethene
Judith C. Amburgey-Peters and LeRoy W. HaynesJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (7), 1051The Addition of Bromine to 1,2-Diphenylethene
Judith C. Amburgey-Peters and LeRoy W. HaynesJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (7), 1051We investigated the reaction of (Z)-1,2-diphenylethene (cis-stilbene) with various brominating reagents and solvents following directions in standard organic chemistry manuals. We were particularly interested in learning which combination of brominating ...
