Reduction of Cyclohexene Oxide to Cyclohexanol (Lab 5)

In the reduction of cyclohexene oxide to cyclohexanol, the reducing agent is

LiBH4 which serves as a source of hydride

Cyclohexanol is extracted from the product mixture using

Methylene Chloride

The organic solution of cyclohexanol product is washed with

Water

If a student began the cyclohexanol cycle with exactly 10 g of cyclohexanol and obtained yield of 1.5 g of cyclohexanol product from the reduction of cyclohexene oxide, the students percent recovery of cyclohexanol is

15%

If a student starts with 1 mmol of cyclohexene oxide and obtains 0.5 mmol of cyclohexanol product after the reduction reaction, the students percent yield for the reduction reaction is

50%
