In this exercise, you will use two reagent mixtures to test a variety of organic halides. The distinct differences in the factors affecting the SN2 and SN1 mechanisms make it possible to determine which mechanism is favored by a given compound. One reagent and solvent favors SN2 reactivity, the other SN1 reactivity. From the results of your tests, you will determine which mechanism, if either, is favored by a given compound. In your post-lab assignment, you will be required to...
In lab you will be performing experiments using Sodium (or Potassium) Iodide in Acetone to determine reactivity in SN1 reactions and Silver Nitrate in Ethanol to investigate SN2 reactions. How will you know if an alkyl halide is moderately reactive in either test?
1. In both the sodium iodide
test and the silver nitrate test, why does 2-bromobutane react
faster than 2-chlorobutane?
Bromine is a better leaving group since it is a weaker base than
chlorine is.
2. a. Why does benzyl chloride react under both
SN1 and SN2 conditions?
Benzyl
chloride is a primary alkyl halide, hence reactive under SN2
conditions.
The
primary carbocation formed due to the departure of Cl- is
stabilized by the pi electrons in the benzene ring.
b. Why is...
Explain whether you would expect 2,5-dichloro-2,5-dimethylhexane to react with 18% sodium iodide in acetone. If a reaction is expected, and draw the product that is likely to be formed in the reaction. Explain whether you would expect 2,5-dichloro-2,5-dimethylhexane to react with 1% silver nitrate in ethanol. If a reaction is expected, and draw the product that is likely to be formed in the reaction.
Given your compounds (1-hexyne and Hexane) – name one other type of test or reaction you could have performed given the functional group, that would have helped identify your unknowns. One test per unknown. Tests performed: Br2, Tollens test, Chromic test, Lucas test. We are looking for at least 2 other tests, one per unknown, (not Bromine, lucas, tollen, silver nitrate and chromic) that could help determine our unknowns (1-hexyne and hexane)
Follow-up Questions 1. The Nal al/acetone test gives a precipitate with 1-chlorobutane and 1-bromobutane, but not l-iodobutane. Why? 2. Why is it important to use a polar solvent such as ethanol in the silver nitrate test? 3. A student decides to repeat the experiment using organochlorides (R-Cl) instead of organobromides. In the Nal test, would organochlorides react faster, slower or at the same rate as the corresponding organobromides? Explain. Would the order of reactivity change? Explain. b. In the AgNO,...
Read the experiment and briefly describe what you would predict
to be your result if you were to perform this experiment and
why.
Part A: Determination of Factors Affecting the Relative Rates of Sy2 Reactions All test tubes must be dry. Effect of Structure of the Alkyl Halide Measure 2 mL of 15% sodium iodide in acetone into each of three clean, dry 10-cm test tubes. Add 2 drops of 1-bromobutane (butyl bromide) to the first test tube; add 2...
Individual Experiment 3 Choose three compounds that test both variables (both hypotheses) You will be using a 1% AgNO; solution in EtOH For each reaction. BOTH you and your partner should conduct the experiment individually so as to verily and support your observations E5.
