A new protocol illustrates elimination reactions in undergraduate labs, enhancing practical learning experiences.
The discussion of E1 and E2 reaction mechanisms is an integral part of the undergraduate Organic I curriculum, and the theory is usually illustrated with a hands-on experiment in the Organic I laboratory. We recently faced a dilemma at New Jersey City University (NJCU) during the renovation of our new science building when we could not run the elimination reaction in the usual manner due to the lack of suitable lab space. We addressed this problem by developing a new elimination protocol, which we successfully launched in our Organic I lab course.
