Chapter 6, Problem 36P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: For each reaction mentioned in the question, the nucleophile, its nucleophilic atom and the electrophilic atom in the substrate and the leaving group should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Nucleophiles are chemical species which are rich in electrons, hence capable of donating electron pair to form a chemical bond. nucleophilic atom is the electron rich atom in the molecule or ion.

Electrophile is an electron pair acceptor. Electrophiles may be positively charged or neutral species. Most of the time electron-deficient atom is the electrophilic atom.

Leaving group is a molecular fragment that departs with a pair of electrons cleaving a bond.

Consider the given reaction in which NC−NC− is the nucleophile and CH3CNCH3CN is the solvent. The reactant molecule has a structure with solid and dashed wedge bonds. A solid wedge () is used to show the bond that is above the plane of the paper, and a dashed wedge () is used to show the bond that is behind the plane of the paper. Draw the product of the following reaction:
For the given Sy2 reaction, draw the organic and inorganic products of the reaction, and identify the nucleophile, substrate, and leaving group. Include wedge-and-dash bonds and draw hydrogen on a stereocenter. :CEN Organic product Inorganic product + Draw the organic product. Draw the inorganic product. Incorrect
