commonly through E1 and E2 mechanisms. The specific mechanism that occurs depends on various conditions. The various conditions include leaving groups‚ substrate structure‚ the nature of the base‚ and the solvent. Both mechanisms will occur in the presence of a good leaving group. Examples of good leaving groups include I- and Br-‚ where a poor leaving group includes F- and OH-. An E2 reaction works best with a secondary or tertiary carbon because primary carbons have more competition for SN2 reactions

bromine.) Alkyl halides are very important since they are used in many of the products used today. They can be synthesized by means of adding alcohols to hydrogen halides (such as HCl‚ HI‚ or HBr) resulting in nucleophilic substitution (specifically the SN1 reaction.) The experiment was done with the goal of synthesizing an alkyl halide from alcohol and a hydrogen halide. In order to do this‚ tert-butyl alcohol was mixed with HCl to form crude tert-butyl chloride. Solid NaHCO3 and CaCl2 were used to prevent

t-Pentyl Chloride is a compound that is created through an SN1 nucleophilic substitution reaction in addition with Hydrogen Chloride in order to isolate the product. A variety of procedural techniques were utilized during the experiment including extraction‚ washing liquids‚ drying liquids‚ gravity filtration‚ and simple distillation. When a single solute or compound is transferred between two different solutes‚ it is known as extraction. Another technique that was utilized was washing‚ in which

2-methyl-2-butanol‚ through the Sn1 mechanism‚ 2-chloro-2-methylbutane is formed. Water‚ sodium bicarbonate and NaCl(aq) were then added to the 2-chloro-2-methylbutane to remove any of the excess water from the reaction. To confirm‚ a successful reaction‚ AgNO3 was added to the 2-chloro-2-methylbutane. A white precipitate formation confirmed a successful Sn1 reaction. Introduction Nucleophilic substitution reactions such as Sn1 and Sn2 allow us to convert one functional group to another. For Sn1 reactions‚ a tertiary

Substitution Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to investigate how different factors affect the rate of SN1 and SN2 reactions. SN2 reactions proceed via a one step mechanism in which the incoming nucleophile attacks the electrophilic carbon center from the opposite side of the leaving group. This reaction mechanism implies that the stereochemistry of a chiral center will be inverted. SN1 reactions proceed via two steps‚ slow dissociation of the C-X bonds to form an intermediate carbocation and

Discussion and Conclusion: Preparation of 1-Bromobutane The purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate the conversion of a primary alcohol‚ 1-butanol‚ to a primary bromoalkane‚ 1-bromobutane‚ a SN2 reaction. The conversion of 1-butanol to 1-bromobutane relies on sulfuric acid which plays two important roles. First‚ it protonates the alcohol of 1-butanol to form an oxonium ion which is a good leaving group. Secondly‚ it produces the hydrobromic acid‚ the nucleophile‚ which attacks 1-butanol

It implies that it is Elimination unimolecular as the rate determining step has only one molecule of the reactant. Primary alcohols require the most stringent conditions to undergo dehydration i.e. use of conc. H2SO4 and high temperature (180 - 200°C)

Competitive Nucleophiles Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to compare the relative nucleophilicities of chloride ions and bromide ions in two different reactions. One reaction involved n-butyl alcohol and the other involved t-pentyl alcohol. We performed the reactions and compared the percentages of alkyl chloride and alkyl bromide in the product. To perform this experiment‚ we used methods including heating reaction mixture under reflux‚ extraction using a separatory funnel
