Abstract
Five puzzles for the organic chemistry laboratory are described. All involve bromine, which is generated in a safe, convenient way that makes it possible to control the amount of bromine precisely. Three of the puzzles involve orientation in electrophilic aromatic substitution, one is a determination of the stereochemistry of addition to alkenes, and the other one looks at the possibility of dehydrohalogenation following addition.

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 ...
Pyrolysis of Aryl Sulfonate Esters in the Absence of Solvent: E1 or E2? A Puzzle for the Organic Laboratory

John J. Nash , Marnie A. Leininger and Kurt KeyesJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (4), 552The aryl sulfonate ester, menthyl N-acetylsulfanilate, is synthesized from N-acetylsulfanilyl chloride and menthol in pyridine, then pyrolyzed (thermally decomposed) at reduced pressure. The volatile (elimination) products of the reaction are analyzed ...

The State of Organic Teaching Laboratories
Gail HorowitzJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (2), 346The State of Organic Teaching Laboratories
Gail HorowitzJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (2), 346This review explores the dramatic changes that have taken place in the organic chemistry laboratory course over the last two to three decades. The most significant changes have been in the areas of pedagogy and technology. Significant inroads have been ...
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 ...
