The catalyst that converted the OH functional group of butanol to a better leaving group (H2O) was the Sulfuric Acid.

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

The Preparation of 1- Bromobutane Introduction... Aim : To prepare 1-Bromobutane. Background : The most common way of preparing alkyl halides‚ which are very useful intermediates in syntheses‚ is the replacement of the OH group of an alcohol by a halogen. This replacement is a nucleophilic substitution reaction‚ and alcohols do not undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions because hydroxide ison is strongly basic and a poor leaving group. However‚ alcohols readily undergo

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 Reference: Discovering Organic Chemistry in the Laboratory; John R. Ganson Ph. D‚ Revised 2011 by Alfredo Mellace Ph. D www.Aldrich.com Purpose: To synthesize 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol via SN2 reaction. Alcohols are converted into the alkyl halides adding an aqueous solution sodium bromide. The sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst in converting the OH functional group of butanol‚ to a better leaving group. In order for this reaction to synthesis 1-Bromobutane

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 causing the oxonium
