Question
Chapter 9.3, Problem 8E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: In the free-radical chain bromination reaction, the six given hydrocarbons should be arranged in increasing order.
Concept introduction:
Free radicals are uncharged molecules having an unpaired valence electron.
These are typically highly reactive and short-lived molecules.

b) Explain in detail what characteristics of the alkyl halide influence whether a
mechanism will be SN1 or SN2.
c) Explain in detail what characteristics of a nucleophile influence whether a reaction
will be SN1 or SN2.
A student adds NBS to a solution of 1-methylcyclohexene and irradiates the mixture with a sunlamp until all the NBS has reacted. After a careful distillation, the product mixture contains two major products of formula C7H11Br. (a) Draw the resonance forms of the three possible allylic free radical intermediates.
Styrene (vinylbenzene) undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution much faster thanbenzene, and the products are found to be primarily ortho- and para-substituted styrenes.Use resonance forms of the intermediates to explain these results.

- Compounds X and Y are both C7H15Cl products formed in the radical chlorination of 2,4-dimethylpentane. Base-promoted E2 elimination of X and Y gives, in each case, a single C7H₁4 alkene. Both X and Y undergo an SN2 reaction with sodium iodide in acetone solution to give C7H15l products; in this reaction Y reacts faster than X. What is the structure of X? • Do not use stereobonds in your answer. • In cases where there is more than one possible structure for each molecule, just give one for each. .

Give mechanisms for the reactions of bromine with cyclopenteneand with phenol, which are both much weaker nucleophiles than an enolatearrow_forwardThe high reactivity of alkyl halides can be explained in terms of nature of C-X bond which is highly polarized covalent bond due to large difference in the electronegativities of carbon and halogen atom. This polarity is responsible for the nucleophilic substitution reactions of alkyl halides which mostly occur by Swa and Swa mechanisms. Sy reaction is a two-step process and in the first step, R-X ionizes to give carbocation (slow process). In the second step, the nucleophile attacks the carbocation from either side to form the product (fast process). In Swi reaction, there can be racemization and inversion. Swi reaction is favored by heavy (bulky) groups on the carbon atom attached to halogens. i.e., R,C-X>R;CH-X>R-CH,X>CH,X. In Sna reaction, the strong nucleophile OH attacks from the opposite side of the chlorine atom to give an intermediate (transition state) which breaks to yield the product (alcohol) and leaving (X) group. The alcohol has a configuration opposite to that of the…arrow_forward
