Studying SN1 and SN2 Reactions: Nucleophilic Substitution
at Saturated Carbon
Introduction
One of the most useful reactions in organic chemistry are Nucleophilic
substitution. Nucleophilic substitutions can occur through a wide range of mechanisms,
one of these mechanisms are SN
1
and SN
2
reactions.
A SN
1
reactions is a two-step
reaction where first there is a loss of the leaving group which then gerates a carbocation.
This newly formed carbocation mixes with nucophile and form a new bond.
The rate
of
the reaction is measured by the first step of reaction with the loss of the leaving group.
A SN
2
reaction is a single step reaction where a leaving group departs as a nucolphile
enters. And the Rate of the reaction is dependent on how fast the leaving group, usually
a halide, leaves.
An SN2 reactions use second order kinetics; the rate of the reaction is
proportional to the concentration of the nucleophile and the substrate present.
So in the case of this experiment the rate of the reaction is proportional to the
concentration of the substrate, 1-bromobutane, that can be synthesized from the
nucolphile, 1-butanol. An SN2 reaction is used in this case because 1-butanol contains a
primary alcohol. Addtionally HBr has strong dipole-dipole bonds. Using these two
products a one-step reactinon where a substitution of the alcohol for bromine at the
carbon adjacent to the alcohol will occur forming 1-bromobutane.

10. Terpene is a class of naturally occurring molecules, found in many essential oils from plants, that share the
same alkene features. All terpenes have a similar 5 carbon unit that includes an alkene thought to be
biologically synthesized from the molecule isoprene.
All terpenes are biosynthesized from molecules with the good leaving group: pyrophosphate (OPP). Loss of
this OPP leads to the formation of a resonance stabilized carbocation. The new carbocation can undergo a
nucleophilic attack from a T-bond as seen in acid-catalyzed hydration and hydrohalogenation, forming a new
carbocation. This new carbocation can undergo an E1 reaction to form a new alkene.

Electrophilic addition of bromine, Brɔ, to alkenes yields a 1,2-dibromoalkane. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic intermediate known as a bromonium ion. The reaction occurs in an
anhydrous solvent such as CH2Clɔ.
In the second step of the reaction, bromide is the nucleophile and attacks at one of the carbons of the bromonium ion to yield the product. Due to steric clashes, the bromide ion always attacks
the carbon from the opposite face of the bromonium ion so that a product with anti stereochemistry is formed.
Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.

Alkynes do not react directly with aqueous acid as do alkenes, but will do so in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate as a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction occurs with Markovnikov
regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called
an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization.
