Chapter 13, Problem 46P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The relative rate of chlorination of biphenyl is to be compared with benzene and the amount of
Concept Introduction:
Electron rich substituents on a benzene ring activate it toward electrophilic
The rate at which EAS occurs at different positions relative to a substituent is determined by the nature of the substituent and the number of equivalent sites on the ring.
The product distribution of an EAS reaction is also determined by the same factors.

When bromomethane undergoes solvolysis in a solvent mixture composed of 90% water/10% acetone, the reaction rate is faster than when the same compound is solvolyzed in 80% water/20% acetone. Explain.
Because bromocyclohexane is a secondary alkyl halide, both cyclohexanol and cyclohexene are formed when the alkyl halide reacts with hydroxide ion. Suggest a method to synthesize cyclohexanol from bromocyclohexane that forms little or no cyclohexene.
