    Sn2 Reaction Lab Report

    • 374 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The SN2 reaction requires three qualities: a strong nucleophile‚ a good‚ unhindered leaving group‚ and a polar‚ aprotic solvent. For our reaction‚ we have all three bases covered. The nucleophile is an alkoxide‚ a deprotonated alcohol. Technically‚ because our alcohol is a phenol‚ the conjugate base is called a phenoxide. Phenol itself has a pKa of about 10‚ but our alcohol has more resonance opportunities‚ so the pKa is down around 8. This is sufficiently acidic for use of weak base like K2CO3 for

    solvents such as water and ethanol result in bulky solvation shells around the charged nucleophile; this is what reduces its nucleophilic strength. The result is a slower reaction. Polar aprotic solvents do not solvate the nucleophile very strongly‚ this results in an attack on the substrate. Therefore‚ polar aprotic solvents accelerate the rates of reaction‚ especially SN2 reactions‚ where the strength of the nucleophile determines the rate of reaction. As far as the reaction properties are concerned

    the substrate and nucleophile must be measured out and mixed together in the presence of water in order for 1-bromobutane to be created. The lab students will have to use multiple different laboratory techniques in order to yield the final product being 1-bromobutane. This simple reaction shows how an SN2 reaction takes place and how an acid-mediated reaction can synthesize an alkyl halide from the original alcohol compound. Abstract: The sodium bromide being the nucleophile in the reaction was

RX+AgNO3+EtOHROEt+AgX+HNO3 We used three substrates primary secondary and tertiary compounds are 1-bromobutane‚ 2-bromobutane and 2-bromo-2-methylpropane respectively to react with the two nucleophiles that are sodium iodide with acetone solvent and silver nitrate with ethanol solvent. Based on lab analysis and the reaction mechanism we can predict the reactivities of the substrates with the reagents and test the products STRUCTURES: In the

     Comment: Treat a Grignard reagent as an alkyl nucleophile i.e. CH3MgBr is equivalent to CH3- nucleophile. The Grignard reagent can also react with RX to form a longer chain alkane. Example: CH3CH2MgBr + CH3CH2Br  CH3CH2CH2CH3 + MgBr2 In general‚ basicity parallels nucleophilic strength since both of them depend on the availability of the lone pair of electrons. The Grignard reagent is not only able to function as a nucleophile; it can operate as a base too by reacting with water to

    Partner: Nick Dale TA: Alekhya 6/15/15 The SN2 Reaction: Factors Affecting SN2 Reaction. Introduction In the substitution reactions‚ the leaving group from the substrate is replaced with the nucleophile. Because of the nucleophile it is called nucleophilic substitution. The lone pair of electrons‚ present on the nucleophile is used to create a new bond with the carbon atom‚ from which the leaving group was separated. There are two different mechanisms of nucleophilic substitution: SN1 and SN2. The difference

    nucleophilic substitution‚ or SN2 reaction. Alcohols do not undergo the same SN2 reactions commonly observed with alkyl halides. There are four aspects that determine the rate of the SN2 reaction: nucleophile‚ substrate‚ solvent and the leaving group. This reaction requires a lone pair from a nucleophile to donate an electron-pair in the formation of a chemical bond; it then attacks the bonds to an electrophilic

    Introduction The SN2 reaction is a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction where the nucleophile (a molecule with a free pair of electrons) reacts with an alkyl halide and replaces the halogen (for more details see Solomons and Fryle‚ Chapter 6). The nucleophile approaches the carbon bearing the halogen from the back side. As the reaction proceeds‚ a bond begins to form between the nucleophile and the carbon while the bond between the carbon and the halogen begins to break (this is the

    electronegativity between magnesium and carbon‚ Mg is less electronegative than carbon. Therefore it partial positively charges and the carbon is partially negatively charge. Carbon is not stable therefore it is very reactive as it more nucleophilic. Nucleophiles are compounds negatively charged in other word positive charge loving that donate their pair of electrons to form a new bond. They can also be called Lewis bases as they accept proton from electrophilic species. Grignard reagent can be simply

    Grignard reagent methylmagnesium iodide and react it with benzoin to form the 3o alcohol 1‚2-diphenyl-1‚2-propanediol‚ through an addition reaction pathway. Introduction: Grignard reagents are alkyl or aryl-magnesium halides that act as the nucleophile in Grignard reactions‚ where ketones are reacted with the reagent‚ then treated with acid to produce an alcohol. In the case of this experiment‚ methylmagnesium iodide was created from methyl iodide and magnesium metal. It acted as the Grignard
