Title: dehydrobromination of meso-stilbene dibromide
Post by: saracru on February 28, 2005, 03:49:27 PM

i am having trouble discerning which is the limiting reagent
the lab required us to use an elimination reaction converting meso-stilbene dibromide and 2KOH to diphenylacetylene
we used the following materials
Compound   M M   Volume used (mL)   Weight used (g)   Moles Used
Meso-stilbene dibromide   342.07   NA   0.150   1
Potassium hydroxide   56.11   NA   0.080   2
Triethylene glycol   150.17   1   NA   NA
95% ethanol   46.07   0.5   NA   NA
