some tert-butyl ether is formed in the solvolysis of tert-butyl chloride. where does this product come from (i.e. what is the substrate and what is the nucleophile?) do you think this will affect the kinetics of the reaction? think about the rate-limiting step in the reaction.

Sagot :

Tert-butyl chloride is the substrate, while Methanol is the nucleophile.

Solvolysis may be a chemical process that occurs between a solvent and a substrate. Solvolysis is more common within the SN1 reaction. Alcoholysis refers to the solvolysis reaction that produces ether by reacting with alcohol.

The solvolysis process of tert-butyl chloride occurs during the hydrolysis reaction of tert-butyl chloride, leading to the creation of tert-butyl ether.

By removing chlorine, tert-butyl chloride undergoes cation production. A tert-butyl cation is solvolyzed with methanol to supply a tert-butyl ether.

The first step is cation formation which is the rate-determining step and the second step is an attack of the nucleophile.

The rate of reaction for the SN1 reaction is the initial step, which is cation production," hence the solvolysis of tert-butyl chloride has no effect on the speed of reaction.
