Chlordane, like DDT, is an alkyl halide that was used as an insecticide for crops such as corn and citrus and for lawns. In 1983, it was banned for all uses except against termites, and in 1988, it was banned for use against termites as well. Chlordane can be synthesized from two reactants in one step. One of the reactants is hexachlorocyclopentadiene. What is the other reactant?
Two substitution products result from the
reaction between 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-
butene with sodium acetate (CH3COO – Na +)
in acetic acid under SN1.
Identify the products.
The Friedel-Crafts Alkylation of p-xylene n-propyl bromide can result in an isopropyl as well as n-propyl substitution.
A) Write the chemical equation involved in this reaction.
B) Which will be the major and minor product? What do you expect will be the ratio of n-propyl to isopropyl substitution for p-xylene?
