Chapter 6, Problem 35P

Based on what we know about nucleophiles and leaving groups, we suspect that the reaction of ( R ) -2-chlorobutane with sodium iodide in acetone would not be useful as asynthesis of ( S ) -2-iodobutane . Explain.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
what would a detailed step-by-step mechanism be for a reaction between bromine and trans-stilbene if the solvent, ethanol, is a stronger nucleophile than the bromide ions?
why do (R)-3-chloro-1-methylcycloprop-1-ene and 5-Bromo-1,3-Cyclohexadiene react differently with cyanide (why doesn't cyanide pass through its usual mechanism for these two products and what did you obtain these specific products)
7. For each pair of compounds, say which compound is the best SN2 substrate.(a) 2-methyl-1-iodopropane or tert-butyl iodide(b) cyclohexyl bromide or 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane(c) 2-bromobutane or isopropyl bromide(d) 1-chloro-2,2-dimethylbutane or 2-chlorobutane(e) 1-iodobutane or 2-iodopropane
