A GC-MS Analysis of an S[subscript N]2 Reaction for the Organic Laboratory
Clennan, Malgorzata M.; Clennan, Edward L.
Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n11 p1676-1678 Nov 2005
The S[subscript N]2 reaction of 1-bromohexane and 1-bromobutane with potassium acetate is introduced to address the shortage of suitable laboratory experiments in organic laboratory. The experiment offers a review of some common laboratory techniques including the use of infrared spectroscopy to identify functional groups, the use of GC-MS analysis to assign structure, and the use of response factors to determine product ratios.
