Question

SN1 SYNTHESIS: THE PREPARATION OF t-BUTYL CHLORIDE Name Questions 1. Whether a reaction will proceed via an SN1 or an SN2 process depends on a. the structure of the reactants b. the structure of the products c. the reaction conditions d. all of the above e. a and c 2. Compare the number of moles of t-butyl alcohol used in this experiment with the number of moles of HCI used. a. How many moles of excess HCI were used? b. What is the minimum number of mL of concentrated HCI that could be used to react with all of the t-butyl alcohol? 3. Your product, t-butyl chloride, is also tertiary and has a good leaving group. Why doesn't it also ionize and continue to react. 4. Why don't tertiary halides react with nucleophiles via an SN2 process?

Explanation / Answer

Q # 1 Option : e) a and c

Explanation :

SN1 unimoleculare reaction mechanism so it only depents on reactant where 's SN2 is bi molecular reaction It depents on reactant and reaction conditions,so answer is e only.other answer is irrelevent,so ignore that.
