There are two mechanisms by which each of the C1 atoms in the following molecule can be replaced by another group: ⚫ Mechanism 1: The C1 atom can be replaced with a concerted, bimolecular step. Mechanism 2: The C1 atom can be replaced in several steps, the slowest of which is unimolecular. Highlight in red the C1 atom that would be replaced the fastest if the reaction went Mechanism 1. Highlight in blue the C1 atom that would be replaced the fastest if the reaction went Mechanism 2. If you would choose the same C1 to be replaced fastest by both mechanisms, highlight it in green instead. C1 cl. C1
