Problem 56SP

Problem 56SP

One mole of acetyl chloride is added to a liter of triethylamine, resulting in a vigorous exothermic reaction. Once the reaction mixture has cooled, 1 mole of ethanol is added. Another vigorous exothermic reaction results. The mixture is analyzed and found to contain triethylamine, ethyl acetate, and triethylammonium chloride. Propose mechanisms for the two exothermic reactions.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Solution:

Here we have to propose mechanisms for the two given  exothermic reactions i.e:-

1.Reaction between  triethyl amine and acetyl chloride

2.Reaction between the product form from the above reaction and ethanol

Step 1

1.Reaction between  triethyl amine and acetyl chloride

Acetyl chloride on addition with triethyl amine forms a salt instead of an amide because the triethylamine is a nucleophile and no H-atom is bonded to it. In this nucleophilic addition reaction , it loses one chlorine molecule and forms 1-triethylamine ethanone.

(Acid chloride)       (triethylamine)    (Intermediate)          (1-triethylamine ethanone)
