Reminder: These notes are meant to supplement‚ not replace the laboratory manual. SN1 Reaction Notes Background and Application Substitution Nucleophilic First Order (SN1) reactions are one of the most common type of organic reactions. SN1 reactions can be used to make a wide variety of new compounds. In this experiment‚ t-amyl alcohol will be converted by a SN1 mechanism to 2-chloro-2-methylbutane. Safety Precautions Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid is 12M. It will cause visible destruction

SN1 Reactions For SN1 reactions it’s important to have a good leaving group because this reaction occurs in two steps. Because alcohol is such a poor leaving group it needs to be helped by silver nitrate to help promote the ionization of the alkyl halide. This helps form the products of the SN1 reaction. 2-chlorobutane This reaction didn’t occur because the carbocation isn’t stable enough for an SN1 reaction. 2-bromobutane This reaction occurred in 32 seconds. This reaction occurred quickly

In this lab‚ spectrochemical technique was used to determine qualitively the product of a reaction. The purpose was to learn what a SN1 reaction was with combining 2‚5-dimethyl-2‚5-hexanediol and HCl and to learn how to use an infrared spectrum for analyzing the reaction. The infrared

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

Kinetics of an SN1 reaction: the effect of solvent on rate Object The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate of hydrolysis in acetone/water (50/50 v/v and 60/40 v/v). Background and Theory An SN1 reaction of tert-butyl chloride takes place in two steps. First‚ the Alkyl Halide will leave the molecule. In this step the bond is breaking‚ which takes a longer amount of time‚ so it will determine the rate of the reaction. As a result‚ it forms a tertiary carbocation‚ since this

Experiment 15 & 16: Preparation of 1-bromobutane‚ an SN2 reaction Preparation of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane‚ an SN1 reaction 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

The effect of temperature on the reaction rate: As the temperature increases it provides more kinetic energy to the molecules allowing them to move faster and with more energy the molecules can overcome the activation energy barrier and therefore the reaction occurs faster. 5. Since the proposed mechanism is a SN1 reaction the reaction got faster as the polarity increased. This is because SN1 reactions work best with polar protic solvents as they stabilize the carbocation. Therefore‚ as seen

Studying SN1 and SN2 Reactions: Nucleophilic Substitution at Saturated Carbon Date of Experiment: February 6‚ 2008 Objective: The objective of this laboratory experiment is to study both SN1 and SN2 reactions. The first part of the lab focuses on synthesizing 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol by using an SN2 mechanism. The obtained product will then be analyzed using infrared spectroscopy and refractive index. The second part of the lab concentrates on how different factors influence the rate of SN1 reactions

Lab 7: SN1 and SN2 Reactions Discussion/Conclusion: In this experiment the purpose of the lab was to study the relationship of structure and reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions by using qualitative tests of reactivity. Before the experiment began‚ students were asked to predict whether the reagents would cause an SN1 mechanism‚ SN2 mechanism‚ or both. When predicting the outcome of SN1 and SN2 reactions‚ the nature of the carbon skeleton‚ nature of the solvent‚ and the nature of
