Factors Effecting the Rate of Nucleophilic Substitution of Alkyl Halides - The Effect of Substrate Type
Tert-butyl chloride is mixed with acetone. Separately, 0.1M NaOH, bromothymol blue indicator and water are mixed. The two mixtures are combined and a timer is started. The timer is stopped as soon as the solution turns yellow. The temperature of the final solution is measured. This is repeated twice more, replacing the tert-butyl chloride with sec-butyl chloride and sec-butyl iodide.
1. What effect does the degree of substitution of the
substrate have on the rate of the reaction? Why?
2. What effect does changing the leaving group from
chloride to iodide have on the rate of the reaction? Why?
3. Write the equation of the reaction.

13 SN1: Synthesis of tert-Butyl Chloride Alkyl halides can be prepared from their corresponding alcohols via an acid catalyzed substitution reaction. The mechanism of these acid catalyzed substitution reactions are labeled as Syl (substitution, nucleophilic, unimolecular) and S2 (substitution, nucleophilic, bimolecular). Tertiary alcohols follow the Snl route, primary alcohols follow the S2 route, and secondary alcohols can follow either path. Under acidic conditions, the mechanism (Figure 1) of the Sul reaction involves rapid protonation of the alcohol, followed by the...

10) Provide the results of the silver nitrate test.
Introduction Alkyl halides can be prepared from alcohols by reactions with hydrogen halides (HCI, HBr, or HI) via nucleophilic substitution. In this type of reaction, the nucleophile displaces a leaving group from a carbon atom of an organic substrate (here the alcohol once protonated). Both electrons of the new bond to the carbon are provided by the nucleophile while the leaving group departs with both electrons of its bond to the...
4. Under the right conditions, alkyl halides can undergo a reaction known as nucleophilic substitution. Two different examples of this reaction are shown below 44 Reaction! Reaction OW w NaOHD VÖLHO OH a. For both reaction and reaction II, acetone is used as a solvent (it does not participate in the reaction). Imagine that each reaction is run twice, using double the solvent volume the second time each reaction is run. You notice that when the solvent volume is doubled,...

Nucleophilic Substitutions: Competing Nucleophiles Dry Lab Name When an alcohol (substrate) is placed in an excess equimolar amounts of chloride ions and bromide ions in acid media the corresponding alkyl halides are obtained. The ratio of the alkyl halides depends on several factors: the nature of the substrate, the reaction conditions, the solvent and the mechanism of the reaction. (Refer to your lab textbook, see syllabus schedule) When fert-butanol (density 20 °C-0.7858 g/mL)...
