Transcribed Image Text:Introduction
Alkyl halides can be prepared from alcohols by reactions with hydrogen halides (HCI, HBr, or HI)
via nucleophilic substitution. In this type of reaction, the nucleophile displaces a leaving group
from a carbon atom of an organic substrate (here the alcohol once protonated). Both electrons
of the new bond to the carbon are provided by the nucleophile while the leaving group departs
with both electrons of its bond to the substrate. There are two limiting mechanisms that are
most common in describing nucleophilic substitution reactions at sp³ carbon centres : (1) a direct
displacement (SN2) process and (2) a process that generates an intermediate carbocation (SN1).
Which mechanism is a better description depends on the structure of the molecule containing
the leaving group, the nature of the leaving group, the size of the nucleophile, and the polarity
of the solvent. This experiment is a near-perfect example of an SN1 substitution.

In this reaction, you will prepare 2-chloro-2-methylpropane (t-butyl chloride) from 2-
methyl-2-propanol (t-butyl alcohol) using HCl as the strong acid and chloride source. Note that
HCI first activates the alcohol in an acid/base reaction before the SN1 reaction proceeds. The final
product is characterized by its yield, boiling point, and density. The presence of a halide atom is
confirmed with a silver nitrate test.
