Hello,
I have done an experiment in Organic Chemistry called :SN1 Reaction: Synthesis of t-amyl chloride from t-amyl alcohol, there are some questions that I am unsure about,
1) What are the 2 rules of HCl in this reaction? Can you use NaCl instead of HCl to synthesize t-amyl chloride from t-amyl alcohol? Explain?
2) When you add the reactants together, there is only one layer, and as the reaction goes to completion, two distinct layers are formed. Why do you think this happened?
3) Give two reasons why your product should be dry before you analyze it by IR?
