Stereospecific Synthesis of the Geometrical Isomers of a Natural ProductT. Grove, D. DiLella, and E. Volker Presents an experiment for the synthesis of (Z) and (E) isomers that is presented to students as a puzzle in which they must determine the identity of the major component in anise oil. A necessary part of the analysis is the preparation the (E) and (Z) isomers of anethole. Molecular modeling is used to explore the conformation of and energy difference between isomers. Grove, T.; DiLella, D.; Volker, E. J. Chem. Educ.2006, 83, 1055.

A Puzzling Alcohol Dehydration Reaction Solved by GC–MS AnalysisMichael W. Pelter and Rebecca M. Macudzinski The reaction of 2-methyl-2-propanol with ~50% sulfuric acid at 100 C yields isobutylene, which reacts further by a "puzzling" reaction. By coupling the GC/MS analysis of the product mixture with their knowledge of the mechanism of alcohol dehydration and alkene reactivity, students are able to identify the major products of this reaction. Pelter, Michael W.; Macudzinski, Rebecca M. J. Chem. Educ.1999, 76, 826.
