4) Can you ever have only SN2 or only SN1? 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...
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...
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. 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...
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...
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...
3) Name two solvents that are commonly used for SN2 reactions. because they considerably slow down SN1 reactions. 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...
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...
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...
For the following Sn1 reaction, draw the major organic product, identify the nucleophile, substrate, and leaving group, and determine the rate limiting step. Select the statement that properly identifies the nucleophile, substrate, and leaving group.(CH3)2COH is the substrate, HCl is the nucleophile, and OH is the leaving group. (CH3)3COH is the substrate, Cl is the nucleophile, and H20 is the leaving group. (CH3)3COH is the substrate, CF is the nucleophile, and OH is the leaving group. The rate limiting step is _______ .
5. (20 pts) Even though the iodine is a better leaving group than the bromine, the below rx gives only the E2 elimination product shown. Explain this by drawing the overall mechanism for the rx and then another illustration using a Newman projection. Br NaOH tBu tBuytBu H CH₃ heat CHE
