About this document

1-Bromobutane Synthesis Lab Report by 2023472172 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This laboratory report summarizes an experiment to prepare 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol. Sulfuric acid was used as a catalyst in the reaction. Excess bromine was added and the mixture was refluxed, resulting in the organic layer containing 1-bromobutane separating to the top. Water was then used to extract the organic layer. The percentage yield of 1-bromobutane was calculated based on the actual and theoretical amounts. Sodium bicarbonate washing removed residual acids from the crude product.
