Chapter 9.4, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The alkyl halide from the most reactive to least in the given SN1  reaction has to be ranked.

Concept Introduction:

  • Unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction in which the reversible ionization of alkyl halide in the presence of aqueous acetone or an aqueous ethyl alcohol provides a carbocation as an intermediate, attacked by the nucleophile to form the product is called SN1  reaction.
  • Relative stability of alkyl halide in SN1 reaction: RI>RBr>RCl>RF

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Rank the following alkyl bromides from most reactive to least reactive in an SN2 reaction: 1-bromo-2-methylbutane, 1-bromo-3-methylbutane, 2-bromo-2-methylbutane, and 1-bromopentane.
For SN2 Explain the order in which 1o (primary) alkyl halides reacted and explain why. The 1o primary alkyl halides are: (see picture below) 1-chlorobutane 1-bromobutane 1-chloro-2butene benzylchloride
8) Predict the two products that form in following Diels-Alder reaction. Circle the major product. CH₂O H O₂N CH₂OCH3 H
