In an electrophilic aromatic substitution, an electrophile replaces a proton with an electrophile [3]. The electrophile is the acylium cation. The acylation of ferrocene reaction can be viewed in Figure 2.
Experiment VIII was performed to analyze SN2 and SN1 using tertiary and primary substrates and use gas chromatography (GC) to examine the SN1 reaction. The product of the SN2 reaction was classified as n-butyl iodide by using infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography mass spectroscopy and the product of the SN1 reaction was identified as of t-butyl chloride by using infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography. For the SN2 reaction, 7.62 grams of n-butyl bromide, 20.0 grams of sodium iodide, and 79.1 grams of acetone were used to produce 3.12 grams of n-butyl iodide. The limited reagent was identified as n-butyl bromide and the theoretical yield of n-butyl iodide was calculated as 10.3 grams. The percent yield of this reaction was calculated
Chem 51 LB Experiment 3 Report Scaffold: Bromination of Trans-Cinnamic Acid 1. The goal of this experiment was to perform a halogenation reaction through the addition of two bromides from pyridinium tribromide. This was accomplished by reacting trans-cinnamic acid with pyridinium tribromide. After the reaction took place, melting point analysis was conducted to find out the stereochemistry of the product, which could either be syn-addition, anti-addition, or syn + anti-addition. 2.
In this experiment, hydride reducing agents were used, since hydrides have spare electrons that they can donate to other compounds. Two popular hydride reducing agents, lithium aluminum hydride and sodium borohydride, were considered for this experiment. Since hydride reducing agents were used in this reaction, the reaction would have been extremely sensitive to proton sources, since
In nucleophilic substitution reactions, there are two possibilities, either Sn1 or Sn2. In this particular experiment, an Sn2 reaction
This lab only included double-replacement reaction which allowed for only one of 2 types of products. Products that chemically reacted (solid) or products that didn’t (aqueous). The insoluble products of these double replacement reaction occurred when the cations or anions of the reactant bonded with the cation or anion of the other reaction. When this happens the reactants get paired together with the reactant it bonded with and causes a replacement. This is shown evident in the lab in Station
purified through preparative LC as described above and finally characterized as phloretin and phloridzin (Fig. 1). Compound 1 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one or phlorizin was obtained as amorphous powder, mp 2620C. The UV/Visible spectrum of the compound showed λmax at 225 and 285 nm. ESI–MS m/z 297 [M+Na]+ in positive ion mode and 273 [M-H] in negative ion mode for molecular formula C15H14O5; 274.
You wish to substitute the bromine in the following molecules with a nucleophile. Explain whether the given molecule would react by S_N 1 or S_N 2 mechanism and explain why. 1-methyl-1-bromo-cyclohexane: S_N 1 mechanism because after Br leaves (leaving group departure) then it is a tertiary carbocation which is favored more in this type of mechanism. 1-bromopropane: This would react by S_N 2 mechanism because it is a primary alkyl halide, which undergo this type of mechanism.
In this test, primary halides precipitate the fastest while secondary halides need to be heated in order for a reaction to occur. Comparison of the rates of precipitation of the obtained product to standard 1° and 2° bromide solutions will show whether the product is a primary or secondary
Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the different types of chemical reactions, those including Copper. There are different types of chemical reactions. A double displacement reaction is a chemical process involving the exchange of bonds between two reacting chemical species. A a decomposition reaction is the separation of a chemical compound into elements or simpler compounds and the single-displacement reaction is a type of
Next, the oxygen is protonated from the 3-nitrobenzaldehyde, which is then followed by an elimination reaction where this acts as a leaving group. The product is the trans-alkene present in the product. After the reaction was completed, purification of the product was conducted using semi-microscale recrystallization.
Aims of experiment • Determine the rate constants for hydrolysis of (CH3)3CCl in solvent mixtures of different composition (50/50 V/V isopropanol/water and 40/60 V/V isopropanol/water) • Examine the effect of solvent mixture composition on the rate of hydrolysis of (CH3)3CCl Introduction With t-butyl chloride, (CH3)3CCl, being a tertiary halogenoalkane, it is predicted that (CH3)3CCl reacts with water in a nucleophilic substitution reaction (SN1 mechanism), where Step 1 is the rate-determining step. The reaction proceeds in a manner as shown
Bromination is a type of electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction where one hydrogen atom of benzene or benzene derivative is replaced by bromine due to an electrophilic attack on the benzene ring. The purpose of this experiment is to undergo bromination reaction of acetanilide and aniline to form 4-bromoacetanilide and 2,4,6-tribromoaniline respectively. Since -NHCOCH3 of acetanilide and -NH2 of aniline are electron donating groups, they are ortho/para directors due to resonance stabilized structure. Even though the electron donating groups activate the benzene ring, their reactivities are different and result in the formation of different products during bromination.
To analyze the acetanilide product of the reaction, 1H NMR and IR were used. Results, Discussions, and Conclusions In this experiment, acetanilide was synthesized via nucleophilic acyl substitution from both acetic anhydride and aniline. During this reaction, aniline acts as the nucleophile and acyl (CH3CO-) group from acetic anhydride acts as the electrophile.
Titanium Dioxide Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most common chemicals being produced worldwide as it is being used as basic material in everyday living. It is a white powdered chemical typically utilized by the manufacturers of cosmetics, paper, sunscreen, food products, and many others that are included in the variety of industrial and consumer products (ChemicalSafetyFacts.org, n.d.). Knowing that it is an odorless, white-powdered chemical, it gives clarity to a certain product where it has been added. It can also maintain the color of the product and reflect the ultraviolet (UV) light which is why it can also be found in sunscreen products (Mercola, 2016). Titanium dioxide, also called as “titania”, exists in two distinct forms—anatase
