1. n-Butyl Bromide Organic Chemistry Lab Report
Then the mixture was poured into a 125mL separatory funnel and the bottom aqueous layer was drained. ... The n-butyl bromide was transferred back into the separatory funnel and 14mL of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate was added to the solution. ... It also served to protonate the hydroxyl group of n-Butyl alcohol to displace more water than the hydroxide ion. ... Polar protic solvents are good at solvating anions, and the more electronegative an ion becomes, the tighter it is held in a solvent shell of which the nucleophile must be partially removed for SN2 reactions. ... Similarly, sodiu...
