Nucleophilic aromatic substitution involves the formation of a resonance-stabilized carbanion intermediate
called a Meisenheimer complex as the nucleophile attacks the ring carbon carrying the eventual leaving
group; electron-withdrawing groups ortho and/or para to the site of attack help to stabilize this structure
via resonance.
For the reaction below, draw the structure of the stabilized reaction intermediate in the box below.

• You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
• Draw the Meisenheimer complex with a formal charge of 0 on the nucleophilic atom. If more than
one resonance structure is possible, only draw the most important one.
the compound can be synthesized by an SN2 reaction. Suggest a combination of haloalkane and nucleophile that will give each product.
Compounds X and Y are both C7H15Cl products formed in the radical chlorination of 2,4-dimethylpentane.
Base-promoted E2 elimination of X and Y gives, in each case, a single C7H₁4 alkene.
Both X and Y undergo an SN2 reaction with sodium iodide in acetone solution to give C7H15l products; in this reaction Y reacts faster than X.
What is the structure of X?
• Do not use stereobonds in your answer.
• In cases where there is more than one possible structure for each molecule, just give one for each.

The rule is, the weaker the basicity of a group of the substrate, the better is its leaving ability. In these substitution reactions, the basicity of leaving group must be less than the incoming nucleophilic group. Nucleophilic substitution reaction at sp3-hybridized carbon is either bimolecular (SN2) or unimolecular. Bimolecular reaction takes place in single step, involving transition state intermediate. In SN2 reaction, inversion in configuration occurs. In case of optically active alkyl halides, the inversion in configuration is called Walden inversion. SN2 reaction is preferred if the compound has less steric hindrance. On the other hand, unimolecular (SN1) reaction involves two steps and a carbonium ion intermediate. Optically active substrates give racemic mixture in these type of reactions. Which of the following will produce enantiomeric pair on treatment with HOH? " I ÇH, C,Hs-C-Br…arrow_forward
