Consider the synthesis of tert-amyl chloride (2-chloro-2-methylbutane) from 2-methyl-2-butanol and HCl which has SN1 reaction.
Explain if a SN1 reaction would occur if the following(below) was changed. If an SN1 does occur, then state the IUPAC name of the product formed and compare the rate of reaction to the rate of the original reaction . In the event that SN1 does not occur, state the type of reaction that may occur and draw all the major products that could be formed.
1- we replaced 12.0M HCL with 18.0M H2SO4
H2SO4 acts as dehydrating reagent and it leads to E1 reaction instead SN1 reaction which is favoured by HCl.
Dehydtation of alcohol gives alkene. Here alcohol is 3° hence it readily loose H2O and forms more substitited alcohol by Saytzev rule, 2-methyl-2-butene is the major product.
Consider the synthesis of tert-amyl chloride (2-chloro-2-methylbutane) from 2-methyl-2-butanol and HCl which has SN1 reaction. Explain...
What unwanted products can be formed in the synthesis of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane? The SN1 reaction is: 2-methyl-2-butanol + HCl ----> 2-chloro-2-methylbutane Thank you!
Assuming that all other experimental conditions are the same; explain if an SN1 reaction would still occur if the following changes were made. If an SN1 reaction would still occur: then state the IUPAC name and draw the structure of the product formed compare the rate of reaction to the rate of the original reaction (in this experiment), meaning would the reaction occur more slowly, or more rapidly? If an SN1 does not occur: state the type of reaction that...

If an Sk1 reaction would still occur: then state the IUPAC name and draw the structure of the product formed compare the rate of reaction to the rate of the original reaction (in...
Draw the detailed SN1 mechanism for the reaction between 2-methyl-2-butanol and HCl to produce 2-chloro-2-methylbutane. 1. Draw the detailed Sn1 mechanism for the reaction between 2-methyl-2-butanol and HCl to produce 2-chloro-2-methylbutane. (3 pts)
The reaction is: 2-methyl-2-butanol + HCl --> 2-chloro-2-methylbutane via an SN1 reaction. Experiment 4: Synthesis of a tertiary alkyl halide Page 3 of 6 Distillation is a technique that is to purify liquid compounds. Use theoretical data to explain how distillation is used to separate the target product in this reaction from any residual unreacted starting material in the reaction. [2 marks]
A student was planning to synthesize 2-chloro-3-methylbutane from 3-methyl-2-butanol using concentrated HCl, similar to the reaction you did. When the experiment was carried out, the product isolated was 2-chloro-2-methylbutane. Explain these results by showing a plausible mechanism for the formation of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane under these reaction conditions. (Hint: it is an SN1 reaction, but think about what can happen to the carbocation intermediate that we learned about in lecture to cause that product to form.)
An Sn1 reaction is performed to yield tert-butyl chloride from tert-butanol. HCl is added to tert-butanol and an extraction is performed. After the extraction is performed, calcium chloride is added to the organic layer. why do we add calcium chloride. Give the chemical reaction.
Provide an SN1 mechanism for the synthesis of tert-pentylchloride (2-chloro-2-methylbutane).
Questions on Procedures: 1. Write the reaction of the synthesis of tert-amyl chloride. 2. Based on the densities of tert-amyl chloride and water, which is the tert-amyl chloride layer? 3.

Simple Distill Simple Distillation Results: I collected 12.02 mL of tert-amyl chloride 5. Calculate the percent yield of tert-amyl chloride. Conclusion: 6....
For the reaction below, focus only on 2-methyl-2-butanol (starting material) and 2-chloro-2-methylbutane (desired product). We will not analyze HCl or H2O by IR. From the two IR spectra below, identify which spectrum belongs to which molecule. Then label the IR spectrum with the molecule’s characteristic IR peaks. Highlight or place a box around the most characteristic peak in the starting material’s IR. You do not need to label the fingerprint region. For the reaction below, focus only on 2-methyl-2-butanol...
