applies to this reaction (SN2‚ E2 etc)? E1 3. Why was acid employed in this reaction? The acid was used to protonate the leaving group (OH) to form water which is a much better leaving group than OH. 4. What role does the aromatic ring play in both intermediate and product formation? The aromatic ring is also benzyllic which helps us steer the reaction in the E1 pathway we are trying to achieve. It also forms a very stable carbocation which is essential for an E1 reaction to occur. The ring

Introduction.- Majority of the time‚ to prepare alkyl halides is via the nucleophilic substitution reactions of alcohols. SN2 reaction is the type of reaction used in this lab experiment. Our objective was to see how a primary alkyl halide reacted with an alcohol. We did a conversion of n-butanol to 1-bromobutane. Br- ions is the nucleophile for this reaction which is generated from an aqueous solution of NaBr. The catalyst that converted the OH functional group of butanol to a better leaving group

Amanda Jornd Experiment 7- Synthesis and Reactivity of tert-Butyl Chloride Via an SN1 Reaction Introduction/Background: Alkyl halides are compounds in which a halogen atom replaces a hydrogen atom of an alkane. Alkyl halides are classified as primary‚ secondary or tertiary depending on the number of alkyl substituents directly attached to the carbon attached to the halogen atom. The purpose of this lab was to properly prepare t-butyl chloride from t-butyl-alcohol in a concentrated hydrochloric

(Exp 24‚ pp 211-221‚ pp 808-823‚ pp 836-842) Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the nucleophilic strength of chloride and bromide ions as it reacts with 1-butanol (n-butyl) and 2-methyl-2-propanol (t-butyl alcohol) under SN1 and SN2 conditions. Method: 40 g of ice and approximately 30 ml of sulfuric acid is cautiously added to a 100 mL beaker respectively. Weigh 7.6 g of ammonium chloride and 14.0 g of ammonium bromide and place it in another beaker‚ crushing the lumps

elimination reactions: E1 and E2. Good leaving groups are needed in these two reactions. E2 reactions are a bimolecular concerted reaction‚ which means that it is a reaction involving two molecular entities and bonds are forming and breaking at the same time. The two steps in this reaction happen simultaneously in one transition step. For this reason‚ both the concentration of the substrate and the base are present in the rate law equation; rate = k[substrate][base]. In an E2 reaction‚ a strong

Haloalkanes Haloalkanes are organic compounds in which one or more halogen atoms are covalently bonded to saturated carbon. General formula is CnH2n+1X. X is a halogen atom (F‚Cl‚Br‚ or I) Classification of haloalkanes We classify a C atom as 1º‚ 2 º or 3 º according to the number of the C atoms attached to it. Nomenclature of haloalkanes Haloalkanes are named by adding prefix fluoro‚ chloro‚ bromo or iodo to the name of the corresponding alkanes. Physical properties of haloalkanes
