(b) We are mainly concerned with reporting the properties of organic products such as 1-bromobutane, and not inorganic products such as sodium bisulfate. The melting point of the crystallized product (110-112 o C) is higher than that of the crude material (105-109 o C), indicating a higher degree of purity.

This promotes a reaction where the reactants add in a different order and by a different mechanism, in this case with formation of the most stable free radical. c) The reaction follows a free radical mechanism, where the bromine is first to add to the alkene with formation of the most stable free radical, which eventually leads to the anti-Markovnikov product.

By working out the mechanism you should be able to arrive at the structure of the esterification product obtained from the acid and the base catalyzed reactions. The positive charge shown on the central oxygen makes the circled part a good leaving group relative to the rest of the structure.

Hydrogen, the only element in the first row besides Helium, fulfills the “octet rule” by sharing two electrons only. The elements of the second row fulfill the octet rule by sharing eight electrons, thus acquiring the electronic configuration of neon, the noble gas of this row. Besides hydrogen, most of the elements of interest in this course are the second row nonmetals: C, N, O, and the halogens.

As the electrons from the nitrogen lone pair move towards the neighboring carbon to make a new pi bond, the pi electrons making up the C=O bond must be displaced towards the oxygen to avoid ending up with five bonds to the central carbon.

Since carbon is the most important element in organic chemistry, we can define oxidation as a process whereby carbon gains bonds to more electronegative atoms. The functional groups that contain the most highly oxidized form of carbon in organic compounds are the carboxylic acids and their derivatives.

TABLE OF RESULTS AND SUPPORTING MATERIALS – This is similar to the table of starting materials but it shows data that pertain to the products or results of the experiment. Maybe it is the spectrum of a byproduct, indicating that the conditions of the experiment favored formation of a product other than the expected one.

Carefully pour small amounts of the slurry into the pipette with a dropper until the height of slurry that settles inside the pipette is about 1 – 1.5 inches. If you see that this is about to happen, interrupt the solvent flow by blocking the bottom of the pipette and add more solvent or slurry, as it might be the case.
