Question:
1) Arrange the following halides reactivity toward an Sn2 reaction, and explain why each alkyl halide has the fastest or slower or slowest reaction rate.
a) 1-Iodo-3-methyl butane
b) 2-Iodo-2-methyl butane
c) 2-Iodo-3-methyl butane
2) Draw the structures of the isomers produced by dehydration of 2-methylcycloheanol. Which one of these would be the most stable isomer according to Zaitsev's rule and GC analyses?
3) A student prepared 8.5ml of cyclohexene from 16.5ml of cyclohexanol by acid catalyzed dehydration. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction and calculate the percent yield of cyclohexene. Draw the structures and show all of the steps in the calculations.
- Molar mass of cyclohexanol = 100.2g
- Density = .962g/ml
- Molar mass of cyclohexene = 82.14g
- Density = .811g/ml
Substitution Reactions:
One of the easiest to imagine reactions is a substitution reaction, where one molecule approaches another, a bond begins to form, and a former substituent on one of the original molecules is ejected. These reactions can happen in two ways. The SN1 reaction type happens when the geometry of the reaction forbids a direct approach by the new substituent. Instead, the original one is dislodged, and the new one occupies its vacated spot shortly after. An SN2 reaction is a concerted mechanism; it's possible when the geometry is less obstructed: the new substituent approaches and the old one leaves simultaneously.
