Homework Statement
To convert acetaminophen to phenacetin it was added NaOH in ethanol and then Ethyl iodide.
(Nucleophilic substitution). What would be the change in reaction velocity if insted of Ethyl iodide it was added 2-iodopropane (Isopropyl iodide)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
what affects the velocity of the reaction? Is it the stability of the reaction of NaOH with Acetaminophen? If it is, then the velocity is the same although I'm not sure..
