ID: 498939 • Letter: L

Question

Lab2 l. Present a mechanism for the reaction between t-butanol and hydrochloric acid 2. What other reaction mechanism could compete with the one presented in question 1? Present this mechanism, if any. 3. What is a possible cause of low yield in the preparation of t-butyl chloride? 4. Place the following alcohols in order of probability to react via SNI mechanism A) 1-butanol b) 2-methyl-2-butanol c) 2-butanol 5. Which products are possible if 2-butanol is treated with hydrochloric acid? Consider stereoisomers and probable mechanisms. Lab3 1. Present a mechanism for the reaction between methyl benzoate and the mixture of nitric acid sulfuric acid: Include the step for nitronium ion formation. 2. Explain why the relative positions of the nitro group and the acyl group in their product 3. How do you compare the melting point of your product with that reported in the literature? 4. What was the percent yield of product obtained? 5. Write the structure of products that result from nitration of: A) anisole, b) aniline, c) benzenitrile, d phenyl acetate

Explanation / Answer

I SENT TO MECHANISM BY WORD SN1 MECHANISM

2. NO OTHER POSSIBLE MECHANISM FOR THIS REACTION

3.ADDITION OF TOO MUCH CALCIUM CHLORIDE COULD POSIBLE FOR LOW YIELD AND REACTION REACTIVITY DEPENDS UPON NUCLEOPHILE.
