Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
An explanation regarding which one amongst (2-bromopropan-2-yl) benzene and (2-bromopropan-2-yl) cyclohexane will undergo solvolysis more rapidly in water.
Concept Introduction :
The water mediated solvolysis of halo-compounds follows SN1 pathway. In this reaction, there are two steps and first step is the carbocation formation step which is the rate determining step.
(b)
Interpretation:
Explanation regarding which amongst 1-bromo-2-methylpropane and 3-bromo-2-methylprop-1-ene will undergo solvolysis more rapidly in water.
Concept Introduction :
The water mediated solvolysis of halo-compounds follow SN1 pathway. In this reaction, there are two steps and the first step is the carbocation formation step which is the rate determining step.
(c)
Interpretation:
It must be clarified whether of the two 1-chloro-2-methylprop-1-ene and 1-bromo-2-methylprop-1-ene will solvolyze more quickly in water.
Concept Introduction :
Water mediated solvolysis of halo-compounds follow SN1 pathway. In this reaction there are two steps and the first step is the carbocation formation step which is the rate-determining step. Reaction rate increases with a better leaving group.
