Title: Experiment 28: Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Objective: The students will learn to nitrate methyl benzoate through electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. They will learn the importance of regiochemistry in chemical reactions. They might experience disubstitution through a high temperature. Reactions: Observation: The crystals started to form when added 2 g of crushed ice. The addition of hot methanol dissociated the crystals. The crystals reappeared when cooled down in

of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction‚ in which a proton of an aromatic ring is replaced by a nitro group. Many aromatic substitution reactions are known to occur when an aromatic substrate is allowed to react with a suitable electrophilic reagent‚ and many other groups besides nitro may be introduced into the ring. Although the reaction produced a low yield at the end‚ the yield is calculated from the reaction and limiting reagent. Keywords: electrophilic aromatic substitution‚ nitration

Nitration is an example of an electrophile aromatic substitution reaction‚ where nitro (NO2) group is being substituted for a hydrogen on an aromatic compound. This is achieved by the formation of the nitronium ion by protonation of nitric acid from sulfuric acid. The zirconium ion is a strong electrophile and can react with aromatic compound such as Methyl benzoate to form an arenium ion intermediate. The arenium ion is then depronated to reform the aromatic ring and yield the final product with the

Nitration and Purification of Bromobenzene Abstract: An electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction was performed on bromobenzene with nitric acid producing both 2-bromonitrobenzene and 4-bromonitrobenzene. Products of the reaction were purified through multiple recrystallizations and column chromatography creating multiple crops of a yellow powder. The percent yield of products was determined to be 51%. The melting point of Crop 1 was found to be 110-115 °C‚ and Crop 2 was found to be 37-90

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 between the two depends on how the
