First route would give us desired product because in SN2 reaction, less the steric hinderance around carbon having halogen faster the substitution. Since in first route alkyl halide us less substituted as compared to alkyl halide in second route thus first route is better.
2. Ethers can be prepared by Si2 reaction of alkoxide ions, RO, with alkyl halides. If...
(5) Ethers can be synthesized using an alkoxide and alkyl halide. Provide two possible routes using an alkoxide and an alkyl halide to synthesize t-butylethylether, below . Label the route that is better and briefly explain why.
Alkoxide ions react with haloalkanes, or alkyl halides, forming an ether. The generic reaction is RO:1 + R'X → ROR' a) Draw or write the structure of an alkoxide ion and a bromoalkane that can be reacted together to synthesize 2-methoxy-2-methylpropane, (CH3)3COCH3. b) Draw or write the structure of the alcohol that can be deprotonated to form your alkoxide from part 'a'. c) What base would you use to deprotonate the alcohol from part 'b' in order to convert the...
1. Unsymmetrical ethers can be made by the Williamson synthesis, in which an alkoxide ion reacts with an alkyl bromide. Draw the structure of the alkoxide and the alkyl bromide needed to produce 2-ethoxy-2-methylpropane (a.k.a t-butyl ethyl ether), shown below. Show charges where appropriate. 2. What nucleophile could be used to react with butyl iodide to prepare the following compound?
2. Starting with any alcohols, phenols or alkyl halides you wish, show how each of the following can be prepared by the Williamson synthesis (HINT: The second step goes by the Sn2 mechanism.) a. Dipropyl ether b. ethyl butyl ether
Expert Q&A Done Alkyl halides are used as an alkylating agent in various chemical transformations. The alkyl halide ethyl chlonide can be prepared by the following chemical reaction In the reaction process shown in the figure below, fresh ethane and chlorine gas and recycled ethane are combined and fed into the reactor. Atest shows that if 100% excess chlorme is mixed with ethane, a single-pass optimal conversion of 60% results, and of the ethane that reacts, all is converted to...

Explain (Hint: Start by drawing the structures of the reactant and product then ask and answer the folilowing what type of reaction is this? Are the reactants good choices for this type of reaction?) 2. Two possible synthetic routes to cyclopropyl ethyl ether are shown below Which route, A, B, or both A and B, would...
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...
Experiment 14 SN2: Synthesis of 1-Bromobutane 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, nucleophilie, unimolecular) and S2 (substitution, nucleophilie, bimolecular). Tertiary alcohols follow the Syl route, primary alcohols follow the S2, route and secondary alcohols can follow either path. Sth CyHe 81 CH?
