Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The product of the reaction of 1-chloro-6-iodohexane with one equivalent of sodium methylselenide should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Facility of SN2 displacements depends on the nature of the leaving group, reactivity of nucleophile and the structure of the alkyl portion of the substrate. Higher the leaving group ability to be displaced, easier the SN2 displacement reaction. For halogens, leaving group ability increases down the group.F > Cl > Br > I

The reaction of 1-iodopropane with potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) in certain solvents results in the formation of two isomeric products, propylthiocyanate and propylisothiocyanate (see scheme below), via the SN2 reaction mechanism.   Attempts to prepare a similar mixture of these same isomeric products (propylthiocyanate and propylisothiocyanate) starting from 1-propene is illustrated below. Despite the strong acidity of thiocyanic acid (recall pKa = 1.1), this addition reaction does not lead to either of the products indicated. Based on your knowledge of alkene addition reactions, explain this experimental result.
Give the structures of the substitution products expected when 1-bromohexane reacts with(a) NaOCH2CH
Predict the structure of the major product formed by 1,2-addition of HCl to 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (isoprene).
