POST LAB QUESTIONS: 1) Explain the difference in reactivity of allyl alcohol (CH2=CHCH2OH) and 1-propanol (CH3CH2CH2OH) with Lucas reagent considering the fact that both are primary alcohols. 2) Draw all resonance structures from the intermediate formed between benzyl alcohol (PhCH2OH) and Lucas reagent. 3) List two tests, with expplanations, that will distinguish the following compounds: a) butanal and 1-butanol b) benzyl alcohol (PhCH2OH) and 2-phenyl ethanol(Ph CH2CH2OH) c) 1-butanol and tert-butanol

Step 1
In the case of allyl alcohol, the carbocation formed is resonance-stabilized, making it more reactive towards the nucleophilic attack by the chloride ion. On the other hand, the carbocation formed from 1-propanol is not resonance-stabilized, making it less Show more…

Considering the SN1 reaction, answer the following questions: In a chemistry lab, t-butyl alcohol as a tertiary alcohol is mixed with hydrochloric acid to form t-butyl chloride (alkyl halide) within distillation (Used: boiler, vapor, and condenser). a. How do we identify t-butyl chloride (the answer should include concepts of solubility and extraction)? b. Were we successful in synthesizing the desired product? c. How do you know, and at what stage(s) of the experiment could you tell?
