Question
(8 pts) Your textbook suggest that 1-butanol is protonated by HBr whish is created in situ as shown in the equation below.(4pts)
The reaction shown above is not accurate and does not take place to any appreciable extend. Explain why?
Given your explanation from part a, how does the overall reaction, transformation of 1-butanol to 1-bromobutane, take place? Show the complete mechanism.
(6 pts) One of the qualitative test you are performing in lab this week to confirm the presence of the halogen group on the product is the reaction with alcoholic silver nitrate. The book gives the following reaction (Chapter 25) to describe what happens in this chemical test:
While the precipitate, AgBr, indeed forms in the presence of bromobutane, the other product described in this reaction is not likely to form.
Explain why the organic product does not form.
Suggest what might be the actual product that is formed in this chemical test other
than the precipitate. Briefly, explain your choice of product.
