Document Summary

The purpose of this lab is first prepare 2-chloro-2methylbutane from an sn1 reaction of. Separately; 1-bromobutane is prepared from sn2 reaction of 1-butanol and sodium bromide in sulfuric acid. Using the simple distillation methods the desired products are isolated from the byproduct and water. The desired compounds of the isolated products are confirmed using the nal and agno3 classification tests. To evaluate the efficiency of these synthesis reactions, the percentage yields were calculated. The substances that were worked with were sulfuric acid, which is dangerous and corrosive causing severe burns. Also, concentrated acids and water would produce heat so heat would be dispersed into the water. Sodium hydroxide was also used which is highly caustic. So, gloves and goggles had been worn at all times. Figure 1: (left) sn2 reaction of nucleophilic substitution of 1-butonal with nabr for product. 1-bromobutane. (right) sn1 reaction of nucleophilic substitution of 2-methyl-2butonal with.
