Abstract

The aims of the experiment was to (1) undertand the electrophilic substitution reaction of bromobenzene and nuchleophilic substitution reaction of tert-butyl alcohol (2) identify the products of those reactions. The compound used are tertiary buthanol and bromobenzene were prepared by the laboratory assistant as the subjects of this experiment. The mechanism and the product of the substitution reaction were as the object in this experiment. The procedure was divided into two steps are electrophilic and nuchleophilic substitution reaction. Then, identification of products was done by comparing the physical and chemical properties of the products with theory. Based on comparison, it was known that this experiment produced exactly the same compound as the theory. The electrophilic substitution reaction produced result of 4– bromonitrobenzene while the nucleophilic substitution reaction produced result of tert-butyl chloride.
Key words: Nucleophilic substitution reaction, electrophilic substitution reaction, 4–bromonitrobenzene; tert-butyl chloride.
