November 15‚ 2007 Synthesis of 1-Bromobutane Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol and sodium bromide. In order for this reaction to reach completion there are four major operations that need to be performed. The four major operations include refluxing‚ simple distillation‚ separation‚ and drying. To begin‚ in order for the compounds to react they will be dissolved in water and sulfuric acid will be added. The addition of sulfuric acid will

Experiment 13: Synthesis of 1-Bromobutane An SN2 Reaction Experiment #13: Synthesis of 1-Bromobutane an SN2 Reaction Introduction: In order to synthesize 1-Bromobutane an alkyl halide must be present to undergo a nucleophilic substitution reaction of an alcohol. Since 1-butanol is a primary substrate it will undergo an SN2 reaction with sodium bromide in order to convert the alcohol group to water which is a better leaving group and will in the end produce 1-bromobutane.

Synthesis of 1-bromobutane from 1-Butanol using the SN2 Reaction Abstract: The objective of this experiment is designed to study the synthesis of 1-bromobutane from 1 butanol using a SN2 reaction.. The product will then be analyzed using a flamed loop test by use of fire. Reaction Mechanism: CH3CH2CH2CH2—OH H+ CH3CH2CH2CH2— +OH2 Br- CH3CH2CH2CH2—Br + H2O 1-butanol

The carbohydrates (saccharides) are divided into four chemical groupings: monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ oligosaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. In general‚ the monosaccharides and disaccharides‚ which are smaller (lower molecular weight) carbohydrates‚ are commonly referred to as sugars. 2)industrial application of cellulose :- The kraft process is used

Functional group suffix = -ene (review) Simple 1‚2-alkenes can be described as cis- or trans- (review) More complex alkenes are best described as E- or Z- based on the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules (review) Stability: There are 3 factors that influence alkene stability: 1. Degree of substitution: more highly alkylated alkenes are more stable‚ so tetra > tri > di > mono-substituted. 2. Stereochemistry: trans > cis due to reduced steric interactions when R groups are on opposite sides of the

Organic Lab 2 February 14‚ 2009 Experiment 4: Borohydride Reduction of 2-Methylcyclohexanone Introduction: When learning about reduction reactions‚ we know that the addition of nucleophilic hydride anion (H-) to the carbonyl group will in turn result in the reduction of aldehydes to primary alcohols. Borohydride‚ and Lithuim aluminum hydride are commonly used as reducing agents. We can note that both of these reagents have a (H-) anion‚ hence it will be a powerful base and also take the

Drivers shouldn’t be able to use phones while driving because it can be extremely hazardous for not only them but their passengers‚ or others traveling along the same road. If changing a radio station is considered a major distraction to drivers‚ how is it not a distraction to look down to find your cell phone? Cell phones‚ have been known to cause wrecks that can
