Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structures of all of the products formed when ethyl triflate and ethyl mesylate react with potassium iodide in acetone is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Substitution reaction is one of the types of reaction in which one species is replaced by the other species. Substitution reactions can be done either by SN1 mechanism or by SN2 mechanism. Inversion of the stereochemistry of the product from reactant takes place in SN2 mechanism. Rate of the substitution reaction dependss on the factor such as steric hindrance present in the molecule, size of the nucleophile and many more.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why triflate anion is a much weaker base than the mesylate anion is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The strength of an acid or a base is dependent upon the value of dissociation constant of an acid or a base. Factors such as stability of the ion, presence of an electronegative group, alters the strength of the given acid or a base.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why relative reactivity’s of ethyl triflate anion and ethyl mesylate are inversely correlated with the relative basicity’s is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The strength of an acid or a base is dependent upon the value of dissociation constant of an acid or a base. Factors such as stability of the ion, presence of an electronegative group, alters the strength of the given acid or a base.
