Chem 201 Lab October 21‚ 2011 Lab #6: Preparation of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane – an Sn 1 Reaction Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to prepare an alkyl halide‚ 2-chloro-2-methylbutane by reacting 2-methyl -2-butanol (t-amyl alcohol) with hydrochloric acid. Alkyl halides are of wide interest because they are widespread and have diverse beneficial and detrimental impacts .The overall reaction is given below: Procedure 1 ml of 2-methyl-2-butanol was measured using 1 ml syringe and

Preparation of an Ester Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) OBJECTIVE: To become familiar with the techniques and principle of esterification. DISCUSSION: Aspirin is a drug widely used as an antipyretic agent (to reduce fever)‚ as an analgesic agent (to reduce pain)‚ and/or as an anti-inflammatory agent (to reduce redness‚ heat or swelling in tissues). Chemically‚ aspirin is an ester. Esters are the products of reaction of acids with alcohols‚ as shown in the following equation using

Preparation and SN1 Reactivity of 2-Bromobutane Whitney Bellido Department of Chemistry‚ Illinois State University‚ Normal‚ IL 61790-4160 Submitted: April 4th‚ 2013 Introduction The overall goal of this experiment is to understand and be familiar of SN1 reactivity. We also learned how to prepare 2-Bromobutane by learning how to distill and extract this product from its organic layer. Finally‚ another goal was to specifically understand the relative reactivity of alkyl halides under SN1 conditions

students can go to the computer lab to do this‚ because an instructor wants students to have extra practice in a subject (such as reading or math.) B) Students may also want to use computer labs for reports and papers‚ because most instructors require neatly type assignments. C) If some students don’t have access to the Internet at home‚ they may use computer labs at school to find information on the Web for their assignments. D) Sometimes students may use computer labs at school to type their papers

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

The preparation of four known concentration of KMnO4 was done namely‚ 2.00×10-4M‚ 1.50×10-4M‚ 1.00×10-4M‚ 5.00×10-5M‚ respectively and is to be place on the spectrophotometer with the unknown and distilled water for the determination of each concentration’s absorbance. As the concentration is proportional with the absorbance of the solution‚ to determine the concentration of the solution is possible by drawing
