Question
Chapter 9, Problem 9.5P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
It is to be determined if
Concept introduction:
The distinction between strong and weak nucleophiles is empirical.
Generally, the nucleophiles that are charged (total charge -1) are considered to be strong nucleophiles while neutral nucleophiles are considered to be weak nucleophiles.
Strong, negatively charged nucleophiles tend to favour
Weak, uncharged nucleophiles tend to favour

Consider this reaction:
Br
CH;OH
Br-Br
H3CO
The mechanism proceeds through a first cationic intermediate, intermediate 1. Nucleophilic attack leads to intermediate 2, which goes on to form the final product. In cases that involve a
negatively charged nucleophile, the attack of the nucleophile leads directly to the product.
Br
+ CH3OH
Br

In a similar fashion, draw intermediate 1 and intermediate 2 (final product) for the following reaction.

According to this, it is correct to affirm:
O The activation energy (4G°) shows that it is thermodynamically favorable.
O Represents a reaction that occurs in one step where a pentavalent chemical species is
formed.
O The intermediate has lower energy than any transition state.
O The formation of the intermediate releases energy and is therefore thermodynamically
favourable.
