Experiment 8 Classification Test For Organic Halides

This document describes an experiment classifying organic halides using various tests. The tests include the Beilstein test, reaction with 2% ethanolic AgNO3, and reaction with 15% NaI in anhydrous acetone. n-Butyl chloride, sec-butyl chloride, and tert-butyl chloride all tested positive on the Beilstein test. Tert-butyl chloride was found to be the most SN1 reactive, while n-butyl chloride was the most SN2 reactive. Chlorobenzene was determined to be unreactive toward SN1 and SN2 mechanisms due to its aromatic structure.

a. Positive with Beilstein test :

• n-butyl chloride
• sec-butyl chloride
• tert-butyl chloride
• chlorobenzene
b. Most sn1 reactive:
• tert butyl chloride
c. Most sn2 reactive:
• n-butyl chloride
d.Unreactive:
• chlorobenzene
2. Which among the organic halides are not reactive
toward SN1 and SN2?
Chlorobenzene is not reactive towards Sn1 and
Sn2 because it is an aromatic compound and it forms a
double bond between carbon and chlorine due to
resonance in the benzene ring. There is no way that you
can form a carbanion (an organic anion in which the
negative charge is located on a carbon atom) on an
aromatic ring, and this is essential to the Sn1 and Sn2
mechanisms. Also, the bond is strong, therefore,
ionization to a carbocation is a high-energy process and
aryl cations are highly unstable.
