    Another clue is that E2 rxn will always include heat. Any reaction done in a turtbutoxide is also usually E2 . The formation of the Tertiary groups in an SN2 reaction crowd the electrophile and don't allow the nucleophile to come in but it can still be possible for E2

    For the E2 reaction, wouldn't the most substituted Beta-Hydrogen be the CH3 on the right of Cl ?

  • @Leah4sci

    @Leah4sci

    3 жыл бұрын

    No, we determine the degree of substitution by identifying the number of carbons directly attached to the carbon in question, not the number of hydrogens. The carbon on the right of the Cl would be primary, while the carbon on the left is considered secondary. See my pencil trick to learn more: leah4sci.com/pencil-trick

    This is a complicated question. With all else being EQUAL, heat will favor an elimination reaction over substitution. But there's always a lot to take into account when choosing between SN/E reactions. For help with questions like this and more, I recommend joining the organic chemistry study hall.

  • @Leah4sci

    @Leah4sci

    3 жыл бұрын

    Potassium tert-butoxide is a large, bulky base and is favored for elimination reactions because it cannot approach the carbon closely enough to react in a substitution. KOH, on the other hand, is much less sterically hindered and, without reflux at increased temperature, could react with the halide in a substitution reaction to produce a secondary alcohol.

  • @Leah4sci

    @Leah4sci

    3 жыл бұрын

    Increasing reaction temperature shows favor to elimination reactions over substitution. The explanation for this comes down to a discussion of the Gibb’s free energy values for elimination reactions being lower (more spontaneous) at high temperatures. The inverse of that is the Gibb’s free energy for substitution reactions is lower (more spontaneous) at low temperatures. Hope this helps!

    Probably late but that just means that it's in an acidic solution.

    H+ is simply how we show an acid catalyst. This could have come from various different aqueous acidic sources

    Why would chlorine leave the carbon atom, in the first place?

    Good question! The ability for chlorine to leave the carbon atom is based on several factors, including the stability of the carbocation intermediate, the stability of the anion formed, and the type of solvent used. When the halide does choose to leave the carbon atom, it is attracted to (and solvated by) the polar solvent that is favored by SN1 reactions. So you can think of it in that way: it leaves because its attraction to the solvent is greater than its attraction to the carbon of the carbocation.

    00:38 Are we gonna ignore the fact that you have a strong acid (H⊕) as one of your reagents? :q This means that someone should get protonated before anything else could happen. The only candidate for protonation here is the alcohol, but once it gets protonated, it won't possibly be able to act as a nucleophile. Before protonation, it was a weak nucleophile at most. After protonation, it would be even worse, because of the positive charge it would get. And this positive charge would make it keep away from the also positive carbocation. So besides protonating the alcohol, I don't think that you'll get any SN1 reaction here. Another problem with this acid is this: _which_ acid in particular? In these type of reactions, solvents are very important, so you must be specific, because depending on the acid, there might be a different result. If you used hydrochloric acid, I don't think that the chlorine from the tert-butyl chroride would be so eager to leave the molecule, considering that this would increase the amount of chloride ions in the solution, and Mr. le Châtelier might frown upon it :q The acid actually seems to be driving the reaction in the opposite direction, making the molecule more stable as it is. The fact that you got negative charges on stuff in an acid-catalyzed reaction should already blink some red lights. Because acids tend to get rid of negative charges as soon as they appear, or don't let them appear in the first place. And the fact that you started with an acid catalyst and didn't regenerate it at the end, is also kinda sus. And lastly: why an acid at all? The alcohol can act as a nucleophile as it is (definitely better than if you protonated it). Sure, it is a weak nucleophile, but still a nucleophile, and it can attack a strong nucleophile (such as the carbocation left beind the chloride as it leaves the molecule) just fine. It is also a polar protic solvent on its own, favoring the SN1 reaction. BonBonus point: atoms can't just fall off "on their own". That would be very unfortunate for chemistry and stability of matter in general :q And they can't just "choose to leave" (regarding your reply to someone else), because atoms are not persons, they don't have their own mind and they cannot "choose" anything. They can be _made_ to leave by some external factors (in this case, the solvent).
