Laboratory Techniques in Organic Chemistry and Synthesis of 1-bromobutane (SN2 reaction)
December 10th, 2018.
Introduction.
A total of nine different laboratory techniques, for characterization (melting point, boiling point and thin
layer chromatography) or purification (recrystallization, distillation, sublimation, steam distillation, liquidliquid extraction and column chromatography) of an organic compound, were performed with the main
purpose of learn the technique by its application on a series of known and unknown chemicals. Also, some
of the techniques were applied in the synthesis of a SN2 reaction product, 1-bromobutane from sodium
bromide and 1-butanol in acidic media.
The chemical reaction involved in the different techniques and synthesis are the following:
• Liquid-liquid extraction technique.
o Acid-base properties of an organic acid, like toluic acid:

• Recovery (used in recrystallization and sublimation). As example, recovery of phthalic acid in
the recrystallization in water.
