A.3: Indicate the type of alkyl halide (1°, 2°,3°), the leaving group (Br or Cl'), and the relative reactivity observed (1 = fastest, 2 = slowest) for the following when they are treated with Nal in acetone: Structure Relative Type of RX Leaving Group Reactivity 1 1-bromobutane 1° Br 1-chlorobutane 1° CI 2 How did the nature of the leaving group affect the rate of the SN2 reaction? Would 1- iodobutane react faster or slower than the above halides? Explain. Using structures, write a balanced reaction (not a mechanism) for one of the successful substitution reactions that you conducted using an alkyl halide and Nal in acetone.

Tunicates are marine animals that are called "sea squirts" because when they are taken out of water, they tend to contract and expel seawater. Lepadiformine is a cytotoxic agent (toxic to cells) isolated from a marine tunicate. During a recent synthesis of lepadiformine, the investigators observed the formation of an interesting by-product (3) while treating diol 1 with a reagent similar in function to PBr3 (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 3390–3400):

F- is more nucleophilic, hence, more reactive towards methyl iodide than Cl-. Second row elements are more nucleophilic than first row elements of comparable basicity. The rate of SN2 reaction may be markedly affected by the nucleophilicity of the attacking atom.

Cembrene, C20H32, is a diterpenoid hydrocarbon isolated from pine resin. Cembrene has a UV absorption at 245 nm, but dihydrocembrene (C20H34), the product of hydrogenation with 1 equivalent of H2, has no UV absorption. On exhaustive hydrogenation, 4 equivalents of H2 react, and octahydrocembrene, C20H40, is produced. On ozonolysis of cembrene, followed by treatment of the ozonide with zinc, four carbonylcontaining products are obtained: Propose a structure for cembrene that is consistent with its formation from geranylgeranyl diphosphate.
