Question
Chapter 2, Problem 42P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Three discrete steps shown for conversion of alcohol to
Concept introduction: Alcohol to haloalkane conversion is essentially unimolecular nucleophilic substitution. These substitutions proceed via carbocation formation that occurs in a slow step; followed by a rapid step that involves attack of nucleophile to carbocation center. The products obtained are racemic in the sense that each of the two enantiomers is formed in equal amounts. The general pathway of such substitution is illustrated as follows:

Do this by drawing bent water molecules as necessary and representing hydrogen bonds between water and the molecule using dashed lines. Be sure it is clear exactly which atoms on each molecule are involved in the hydrogen bonds. If your molecule is not capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water explain why not.arrow_forward
