3A. During the workup portion of the reaction of alkenes with HBr as described in the experiment provided, a student transferred the reaction mixture to a separatory funnel, rinsed the reaction flask with diethyl ether, and added the ether rinses to the separatory funnel. The student then added sodium bicarbonate to the separatory funnel. Extremely vigorous bubbling occurred. What did the student do wrong? Can they still isolate the product? If so describe the next steps the student should take to isolate the product.

The S 1 mechanism starts with the rate-determining step which is the dissociation of the alkyl halide into a carbocation and a halide ion. The next step is the rapid reaction of the carbocation intermediate with the nucleophile; this step, completes the nucleophilic substitution stage. The step that follows the nucleophilic substitution is a fast acid-base reaction. The nucleophile now acts as a base to remove the proton from the oxonium ion from the previous step, to give the observed product.

ns 1. Acid-catalized rearrangement reactions of simple alcohols are quite common. Based on the mechanism shown in the background, can you predict the product and mechanisms for the reation of a strong acid and isopropyl alcohol? Answer: OH OH2 H* H20 H+ CH3 CH CH CH. CH CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 H2C=C H. 2. Why is acetic acid a better acid catalyst than hydrogen chloride for this carbocation rearrangement?
Why is a strong acid (like HCI) used in a Grignard reaction? O 1) A strong acid is used in the Grignar reaction in order to protonate the carbonyl in order to make a better leaving group, OH. Once teh OH leaves, the alcohol group is reformed due to water. A stable tetrahedral intermediate with a negatively charged oxygen forms O 2) that does not possess a leaving group. This intermediate will exist until a proton source from the strong acid protonates the negatively charged oxygen, affording the neutral alcohol product. 3) The use of a strong acid is not necessary. It is simply recommended as it increases the yield produced in the reaction. 4) The use of a strong acid is necessary for the formation of a Grignard reagent. Without a strong acid, the organomagnesium compound cannot be formed.
