Abstract
The aim of the experiment was to identify the substitution reaction of tertiary butyl alcohol through nucleophilic reaction as well as the product and bromobenzene through electrophilic reaction as well as the product. The method used in this experiment was divided into two procedures namely nucleophilic substitution procedures and electrophilic substitution procedures. The tertiary butyl alcohol and Bromobenzene were prepared by the laboratory assistant as the subjects of this experiment. The object was the mechanism as well as the product of the substitution reaction. The mechanism and the product of this reaction were obtained by observing the physical and chemical properties appear during the treatment. The result of this experiment is nucleophilic reactions of tertiary butyl alcohol result tertiary-butyl-chloride with volume 3.8 mL by boiling point 50-51C and for electrophilic reaction of bromobenzene results p-bromonitrobenzene with mass 3.43 grams, percent purity 67.9% and error percentage of 32 %.
Key word: nucleophilic, electrophilic, substitution reaction
