Aqueous sodium bicarbonate is used to wash to crude t-pentyl chloride.
« on: April 13, 2008, 10:33:46 PM »
Hello everyone ;)

Aqueous sodium bicarbonate is used to wash to crude t-pentyl chloride and here are my questions:

1. Why t-pentyl chloride has to be wash with sodium bicarbonate ? How the mechanism look like... it is Sn1 for sure ..
2. Why it would be not good to wash it with sodium hydroxide?

Thank you  ;D

Do you know alkyl chlorides can hydrolyze slowly.
NaHCO3 is a weak base and can remove HCl not decompose alkyl chloride
