In this experiment‚ we used simple distillation and extraction to do synthesis of 1-bromobutane. The experiment was carried out by mixing 13.3 g of sodium bromide‚ 15 mL of water and 10 mL of n-butyl alcohol in a 100 mL round bottom flask. We cooled the mixture and added 11.5 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid. Then the mixture was heated at reflux with a short condenser for 45 minutes and then we drained out the condenser. We removed the condenser and distillation head was set up to set up the condenser

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

Grinnell College‚ Grinnell‚ Iowa 50112‚ United States S Supporting Information * ABSTRACT: A simple organic chemistry experiment is described that investigates the kinetics of the reaction between 1-bromobutane (BuBr) and iodide (I−) as followed by observing the disappearance of BuBr and the appearance of 1-iodobutane (BuI) using 1H NMR spectroscopy. In small groups of three to four‚ students acquire data to examine the concentrationdependence of both the organic substrate and the nucleophile under

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 ion

Experiment 1: Preparation of 1-Bromobutane and Reactivity of Alkyl Halides Objective: The purpose of this lab is to prepare 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol in an acid-catalyzed substitution reaction. While the reaction would be expected to occur as SN2 due to the primary nature of the substrate‚ because H2SO4 is used as a solvent‚ the conditions are very polar and the reaction can proceed via an SN1 reaction. The main objective is to obtain test results to determine the mechanism of the reaction

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
