How To Synthesize Turt-Butyl Chloride Sn2

213 Words1 Page

In this experiment, the objective was to synthesize turt-butyl chloride via an sn1 reaction and use sodium iodide and silver nitrate reagents to test the reactivity (book cite). Sn1 stands for first-order nucleophilic substitution (book cite). A substitution reaction is when another atom replaces the halide ion (book cite). The other reaction that can take place is what’s called the elimination reaction. This involves a halide ion leaving with a different atom. Nucleophilic substitutions involve a reaction between an electron pair donor with an electron pair acceptor. The second type of nucleophilic substitution is called second-order nucleophilic substitution (Sn2). This experiment involves an Sn1 mechanism only. This reaction is considered
