mechanisms. SN1 is a substitution reaction and the rate is determined by the organic halide and the nucleophile. SN1 is also a two-step reaction. First‚ the halide moves out. Then‚ the nucleophile approaches and binds with the alkyl group. SN2 is also a substitution reaction. But‚ instead of a two-step reaction‚ SN2 is only a one-step reaction. Its rate is determined by both the organic halide and the nucleophile. Several organic halide were used to complete this experiment. INTRODUCTION An alkyl halide is

Grignard Reaction: Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Dominic DiRaimo Lab Partners: Roxana Hernandez Somata Thach TA: Sreya Mukherjee December 5‚ 2013 Introduction Grignard reagents are good nucleophiles as well as strong bases (Weldegirma). It allows compounds to react with acidic compounds‚ therefor is must be free from acids as well as water during the desired reaction. Another important aspect of Grignard reagent is that refluxing is necessary to

Substitution Reactions* INTRODUCTION In class‚ we have been learning about substitution reactions and the various mechanisms by which they can occur. In a substitution reaction‚ a leaving group‚ usually a halide‚ is replaced by a nucleophile. Two mechanisms have been described for this reaction‚ a unimolecular (SN1) mechanism‚ and a bimolecular (SN2) mechanism. The stepwise unimolecular mechanism proceeds through a carbocation intermediate. These reactions are favored by the use of a substrate

Synthesis and Structure of Alcohols Alcohols can be considered organic analogues of water. H O H R O H Alcohols are usually classified as primary‚ secondary and tertiary. H R H OH H primary R R OH R R OH OH R secondary tertiary phenol Alcohols with the hydroxyl bound directly to an aromatic (benzene) ring are called phenols. Nomenclature of Alcohols (Normally any compound’s name which ends in –ol is an alcohol of some sort) IUPAC rules that:

mechanism in which the incoming nucleophile attacks the electrophilic carbon center from the opposite side of the leaving group. This reaction mechanism implies that the stereochemistry of a chiral center will be inverted. SN1 reactions proceed via two steps‚ slow dissociation of the C-X bonds to form an intermediate carbocation and a fast second step in which the C-Nucleophile bond is formed. Since the intermediate carbocation is trigonal planar‚ the nucleophile can attack with equal probability

pure tert-butyl chloride. The tert-butyl alcohol‚ together with HCl‚ underwent an SN1 nucleophilic substitution reaction‚ which is composed of three steps—(1) propanation of alcoholic oxygen‚ (2) formation of carbocation‚ and (3) attacking of the nucleophile to the carbocation. The experiment was only able to yield 0.504 grams or 5.21% of the theoretical yield of 9.679 grams‚ which is considered as extremely low percent yield. This result could have resulted from various experiment and experimenter

the proposal of incorrect structures for the products obtained by the reaction of thiourea analogs with αhaloketones by two independent research groups (1). Based on the principle of hard–soft reactivity‚ i.e. hard nucleophile attacks on hard electrophile and the soft nucleophile on soft electrophile‚ we have suggested an alternative reaction mechanism for the formation of thiazole-2-imine. Our mechanism is supported by isolating the reaction intermediate‚ confirming its structure and that of
