Butanol + HCl, no solvent is mentioned . Is SN1 possible?
From what I can tell, butanol would form an unstable primary carbocation and HCl is a weak base but fair nucleophile. SN1 would still be possible, although very slowly and SN2 would be the more dominant mechanism due to reactivity of a primary alcohol being favoured more in SN2. Am I right or wrong? I think my reasoning is correct but I've been getting confused with recognizing SN1 vs SN2 reactions for a while so I still have some doubt
Hi can anyone try explaining to me what is the difference between SN2 and SN1 nucleophilic substitution in simple terms to understand? I cannot seem to understand anything related to this topic on YouTube or in my lectures :( thank you so much!
Hello I am a bit confused on the SN1 and SN2 reactions in general and would appreciate if someone could give me a general understanding of them Please.
Hello! In advance, I want to excuse if I am not clear enough somewhere, as I'm Swedish.
I need help with my lab assignment. In my textbook, I am taught about substitution reactions SN1 and SN2, as well as elimination reactions E1 and E2. What it didn't mention is how the location of a halogen in an alkane has an impact on the reaction rate, or how different chemical properties of a halogen impacts the reaction rate.
My objective in the first and second trial of the experiment is to identify what is nucleophilic and electrophilic in the reaction, the haloalkane that reacts fastest/slowest. In the first trial during the reaction, a chemical bond in the haloalkane is broken, and the difference in reactivity could be due to how polar the bond is, but it could also be due to the strength of the bond. In the second trial, I have to identify which bromoalkane that reacts fastest/slowest. Also, to identify what the solvent is during the reaction, and in what way a choice of solvent could affect the type of reaction mechanism. I.e., what mechanism should occur? Which bromoalkane should react the fastest, given the answer? Which one should react the slowest?
Also, if you happen to know any sources of error with the experiment, please share.
Without further ado, here's the instructions of my experiment:
>The purpose of this experiment is to compare the reaction rate of substitution in 1-chlorobutane, 1-bromobutane and 1-iodobutane as well as 1-bromobutane, 2-bromobutane and 2-bromo-2-methylpropane. Study how the reaction rate for substitution reactions is impacted by the chemical properties and location of the halogens in the alkanes. Use ethanol to ensure that the haloalkane dissolves, and can react with the water molecules. Aqueous silver nitrate is also added to the haloalkane, and the halide leaving group combines with a silver ion to form a silver halide precipitate.
>
>For the experiment, I have two trials. First trial is to place four test tubes in a water bath that maintains 50°C, and let the test tubes remain there for about 10 minutes, so that they reach the temperature of the water bath. Then add 1 cm³ of the heated silver nitrate solution to each of the test tubes 1, 2 and 3 as simultaneously as possible, and took note of the time.
| Tube | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethanol | 1cm³ | 1cm³ | 1cm³ | - |
| 1-chlorobutane | 2 drops | - | - | - |
| 1-bromobutane | - | 2 drops | - | - |
| 1-iodobutane | - | - | 2 drops | - |
| Silver nitrate solution | - | - | - | 5cm³ |

I have a textbook which appears to contradict itself.
In one instance: a nucleophilic substitution requires aqueous solvent at room temperature.
In another instance: a nucleophilic substitution reaction requires ethanolic solvent at hot temperature.
If someone could clear this up for me I’d be greatly appreciative.
