4) Can you ever have only SN2 or only SN1?
Only SN1 reaction occurred in this reaction. t-Butyl Alcohol reacts with HCl and form a stable carbonation. The 3° carbonation is so stable water can leave easily to form it.
SN2 reaction is not occurred here as no good leaving group present in t-Butyl Alcohol.

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...
8) Draw a mechanism with all the proper arrows for the reaction from this experiment. Introduction Alkyl halides can be prepared from alcohols by reactions with hydrogen halides (HCI, HBr, or HI) via nucleophilic substitution.

5) Iodine is a better leaving group than bromine. But iodine is a better nucleophile than bromine. Why is that? Introduction Alkyl halides can be prepared from alcohols by reactions with hydrogen halides (HCI, HBr, or HI) via nucleophilic substitution.

7) Name four reagents you can use to dry solvent. Why do we use magnesium sulfate in this lab instead of them? 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...
1) State which of the electrophiles given below will react preferentially by i) SN1, ii) by SN2, or iii) capable of reacting by either of the two mechanisms depending on the given conditions. How can you affect those conditions to favour SN1 or SN2? Reason your predictions based on the structures of the compounds. Br-CH3, Br-CH2CH3, Br-CH(CH3)2, Br-C(CH3)3, Br-CH2-C5H6; C5H6 = phenyl Introduction Alkyl halides can be prepared from alcohols by reactions with hydrogen halides (HCI, HBr, or HI) via...
2) Rank the nucleophiles given below based on high, mediocre, and low nucleophilicity and reason why based on their structures. HO-CH3, H2N-CH3, KO-CH3, KO-C(CH3)3 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...
9) What are we removing with the water wash? Why don’t we just add the sodium bicarbonate directly to the reaction mixture instead of doing a water wash? 10) Provide the results of the silver nitrate test. Introduction Alkyl halides can be prepared from alcohols by reactions with hydrogen halides (HCl, 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...
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 SNI (substitution, nucleophilic, unimolecular) and S 2 (substitution, nucleophilic, bimolecular). Tertiary alcohols follow the Syl route, primary alcohols follow the Sy2 route, and secondary alcohols can follow either path. Under acidic conditions, the mechanism (Figure 1) of the Syl reaction involves rapid protonation of the alcohol, followed by...
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...
