In the second paragraph you should explain why 2-chloro-2-methylpropane reacts with water via the SN1 mechanism instead of the SN2 mechanism, and then write the steps in the mechanism for this reaction. Then write the balanced equation for the reaction between 2-methyl-2-chloropropane and water. One of the products of this reaction is HCl. The rate at which HCl is produced is equal to the rate at which 2-chloro-2-methylpropane is consumed. In this experiment, the HCI will be neutralized by incremental addition of a sodium hydroxide solution. Write the balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and HCI.
1A. Explain why solvents such as anhydrous diethyl ether or anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF) are not reactive with Grignard reagents. 1B. Draw the first step of the reaction mechanism when the Grignard reagent attacks benzophenone before the alkoxide is protonated to form the alcohol. In the mechanism, identify the partially positive and partially negative atoms in the reactants. Explain why these atoms have a partial charge. 1C. Write the mechanism for the reaction of phenyl magnesium bromide with 1) water and 2) acetone.
Compounds containing a phenol group may work as ANTIOXIDANTS to prevent free radical damage. This is accomplished when a free radical (or UV light) encounters a phenol group, turning the phenol group into a radical. However, contrary to typical radical behavior, the structure of the phenol radical can neutralize (or quench) the unpaired electron. Specifically, the phenol structure neutralizes (or quenches) the unpaired radical electron by doing the following: taking the electron and The correct name (or abbreviation) of an example compound (discussed in the lecture videos) containing a phenol group with antioxidant properties is:

When 2-methylpropane is monochlorinated in the presence of light at room temperature, 36% of the product is 2-chloro-2-methylpropane and 64% is 1-chloro-2-methylpropane. From these data, calculate how much easier it is to remove a hydrogen atom from a tertiary carbon than from a primary carbon under these conditions.

STATION 3 At this station you will find both a molecular model kit and a mirror. In this experiment you will be constructing special stereoisomers called ENANTIOMERS. These are two isomers that are mirror images of one another. These types of isomers are very important and will be discussed in detail later in the course. Part 1: Build a model of bromochloromethane. Using a mirror to see what the image looks like, build a model of the mirror image of bromochloromethane. Are the two structures identical to one another? Explain Part 2: Build a model f bromochloromethanol, then the structure of its mirror image. Are the two structures identical? Explain Looking at the results of part 1 and part 2 above, suggest a property that a molecule must have in order for its mirror image to be an enantiomer. Using the results of this experiment, answer the following: Do constitutional isomers have the same IUPAC name? Do stereoisomers have the same IUPAC name?

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…
