Nucleophile

disassociation of acids in a solution are important when choosing the best nucleophile to proceed with a nucleophilic substitution. A nucleophile is best described as a chemical that can give away a pair of electrons to a certain electrophile, and produce a pi bond. Nucleophiles are stronger as conjugate bases. When a stronger nucleophile is presented, a faster reaction is observed. Depending on the reaction needed, the nucleophile selection is based on various factors. If the conjugate acid in the reaction

Title: Competing Nucleophiles (Exp 24, pp 211-221, pp 808-823, pp 836-842) Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the nucleophilic strength of chloride and bromide ions as it reacts with 1-butanol (n-butyl) and 2-methyl-2-propanol (t-butyl alcohol) under SN1 and SN2 conditions. Method: 40 g of ice and approximately 30 ml of sulfuric acid is cautiously added to a 100 mL beaker respectively. Weigh 7.6 g of ammonium chloride and 14.0 g of ammonium bromide and place it in

Discussion: In this experiment, we alkylate sodium saccharin to N-ethylsaccharin with iodoethane in an aprotic solvent N,N dimethylformamide. Nucleophiles in this experiment will react better in an aprotic solvent. Aprotic solvents have dipoles due to its polar bonds but they do not have H atoms that can be donated into a H-bond. The anions which are the O- and N- of sodium saccharin are not solvated therefore are “naked” and the reaction is not inhibited and preceded in an accelerated rate.

Since SN1 leads to the racemic mixture, SN2 is more popular in asymmetric organic synthesis. So, detailed computational studies of model SN2 reactions have been carried out during the last three decades[2-6, 9]. The influence of solvation of the nucleophile with several common solvents on the rate constant of the reactions F-(Sn) + CH3Cl → CH3F + Cl-(Sn) where S is a solvent molecule and n=0-3, was studied experimentally (flowing plasma mass spectroscopy) by Bohm and Raksit[2] . The results of their

reaction. Introduction A nucleophilic substitution reaction is when one group is substituted for another group and this reaction proceeds via nucleophile. The SN2 reaction is one of the nucleophilic substitution reaction where a nucleophile (electron rich) attacks a substrate that has a partial positive charge which expels the leaving group out. The nucleophile attacks the carbon bonded to the leaving group from the back, which leads to an inversion of stereochemistry. This reaction has only one step

1 and 2) In this experiment, Sn2 nucelophilic substitution between an unknown nucleophile solution and the known reagents benzyl bromide and NaOH occurred to form a benzyl ether product. 3) Refluxing, recrystallization, melting point, and TLC were used to purify and identify the products of the reaction. 4) In order for nucleophilic substitution to take place, an electron pair donor (the nucleophile) and an electron pair acceptor (the electrophile) with a good leaving group must be present. In this

As we knew from the background that these reactions are depend on several factors such as, the substrate which is the most priority, the solvent, and the nucleophile. For the substrate, the SN1 is favor tertiary alkyl halide, while the SN2 is favor the primary alkyl halide. For the solvent, it is an important factor. For example, in this experiment, we used AgNO3 in ethanol and NaI in acetone solvent. We used AgNO3 in ethanol in SN1 because the ethanol is protic polar and will able to stabilize the

attack on an electrophilic substrate. The reaction is SN1 because there is steric obstruction on the electrophile, bromine is a good leaving group due to its large size and low electronegativity, a stable tertiary carbocation is formed, and a weak nucleophile is formed. Since a strong acid, HBr, is formed as a byproduct of this reaction, SN1 dominates over E1. The first step in an SN1 reaction is the formation of a highly reactive carbocation, in which a leaving group is ejected. The ionization to form

carbon atom is typically a reaction that is used to interconvert different functional groups. In this reaction in particular, nucleophiles have the property of having at least one lone pair of electrons (not shared) having either a neutral or negative charge. The nonbonding pair of electrons of the nucleophile is donated to an electrophilic carbon. Some examples of nucleophiles
