After the synthesis of cyclohexene, a work-up was done. In a small test tube, add 0.5 mL of cyclohexane. In another small test tube add 0.5 mL of the cyclohexene product produced. Three drops of 3% bromine solution in dichloromethane are added to each test tube, and note any color change. Then in a small test tube add 0.3 mL of cyclohexane, and in another small test tube add 0.3 mL of the cyclohexene product. Then add 1% potassium permanganate and 10% sulfuric acid solution to each test tube. Record any color change and manganese dioxide precipitate formation. Finally, perform a GC/IR analysis of the cyclohexene product.
