Alcohols are acidic in nature. Therefore, a strong base can abstract the acidic hydrogen atom of the alcohol in a process known as deprotonation. The alcohol forms an alkoxide ion by losing the proton attached to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl ( -OH) group. The alkoxide formed can act as a base or a nucleophile depending on the substrate and reaction conditions. However, not all bases can abstract the acidic proton of alcohols and not all alcohols easily lose the proton. Deprotonation depends on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol. Strong bases, such as NaNH2, can easily abstract a proton from almost all alcohols. Likewise, more acidic alcohols lose a proton more easily. Determine which of the following reactions would undergo deprotonation based on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol. Check all that apply. ► View Available Hint(s) CH3CH,OH + NH3 →CH,CH,O-NH CH3 CH3 H3C-C-H+NH3 → H3 C-C-H OH O-NH CH3CH2OH + NaNH, → CH3CH,O-Na* + NH3 CHC12 Cl₂…

For SN1 Explain the order in which 1o (primary) alkyl halides reacted (fastest to slowest) and explain why. The 1o primary alkyl halides are: (see picture below) 1-chlorobutane 1-bromobutane 1-chloro-2butene benzylchloride
The hydrolysis of tert-butyl chloride proceeds less rapidly in a solvent mixture which is 15% water/85% acetone than in one which is 85% water/15% acetone. Why? O The reaction proceeds by an SN2 mechanism wherein the rate is increased by increasing the concentration of the nucleophile water. The solvent which contains a greater percentage of water is less polar, and this destabilizes the tert-butyl chloride. O None of the above. O The reaction proceeds by an SN1 mechanism wherein the rate is increased by increasing the concentration of the nucleophile water. O The transition state in the carbocation formation step is better stabilized in the more polar solvent mixture.
