Chapter 9: Q92P (page 391)

Starting with an alkyl halide, how could the following compounds be prepared?

a. 2-methoxybutane

b. 1-methoxybutane

c. butyl methylamine

Short Answer

Expert verified

Alkyl chloride and alkyl iodides could also be used. It is best to avoid alkyl fluorides because they are poor leaving groups.

Step by step solution

01

Step1:

Alkyl chloride and alkyl iodides could also be used. It is best to avoid alkyl fluorides because they are poor leaving groups.

02

 a) 2-bromobutane reacts with CH3O- to get 2-methoxybutane.

03

b) 1-bromobutane reacts CH3O- with to form 1-methoxybutane.

04

c) 1-bromobutane reacts with CH3NH3 to form N-methylbutan-1-amine.
