How might the yield of 1-bromobutane be affected if water was not added, and what product(s) would be favored?
1 answer:
- Due to the inability of the reaction to take place, the yield of 1-Bromobutane would drop.
- Since 1-Butanol won't react with the additional sodium bromide, bromination won't happen.
- If water had been supplied, the equilibrium would have shifted extremely far to the left, preventing the reactants from interacting with the acid and favoring the yield of 1-bromobutane instead.
- When a substance undergoes bromination, bromine is added to the compound as a result of the chemical reaction.
- After bromination, the result will have different properties from the initial reactant.
- For example, an alkene is brominated by electrophilic addition of
.
- Benzene ring bromination by electrophilic aromatic substitution.
