Question
Chapter 8.2, Problem 7P
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
From the given molecules, more reactive
Concept Introduction:
- The SN2 reaction is a type of reaction mechanism in which one bond is broken and one bond is formed i.e., in one step. SN2 is a kind of nucleophilic substitution reaction mechanism.
- Steric effect is the effect due to the groups occupies a certain volume of space.
- Steric hindrance is caused by the bulky groups at the site of a reaction that makes it difficult for the reactants to approach each other.
(b)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
From the given molecules, more reactive alkyl halide has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
- The SN2 reaction is a type of reaction mechanism in which one bond is broken and one bond is formed i.e., in one step. SN2 is a kind of nucleophilic substitution reaction mechanism.
- Leaving propensity depends on the basicity because weak base are stable bases; the readily bear the electrons. Thus they do not share the electrons.

Explain the observed rate of reactivity of the following 2° alkyl halides in an SN1 reaction.
An enolate is a very strong nucleophile. Bromine is a strong electrophile, so it can react withmuch weaker nucleophiles. Give mechanisms for the reactions of bromine with cyclopenteneand with phenol, which are both much weaker nucleophiles than an enolate
Rank the following compounds in order of increasing SN2 reaction rate with a good nucleophile. Explain yourreasoning.
