True or false 1.Hydroxide is the good leaving group for SN2 reaction. 2.Iodide ion is the better leaving group than the bromide ion. 3.Ethyl bromide is the better substrate than t-butyl bromide for SN2 reactions. 4.water is the protic solvent. 5.Sn1 reactions take place in one single step.
Rank these alkyl halides in order of increasing reactivity in an SN2 reaction
Create your own SN1 reaction and label the steps 1) heterolysis of leaving group 2) coordination of nucleophile 3) Proton transfer
Rank the primary, secondary, tertiary, and aryl halides in terms of reactivity with the nucleophile. Which type of halide react faster by an SN2 reaction? Explain
Q4 Which statement below about Sn1 reactions is incorrect? (A) SN1 reactions are stepwise and have intermediates. (B) The slow step in a SN1 reaction is formation of the carbocation intermediate. (C) SN1 reactions have first order kinetics which means only the alkyl halide is involved in the rate limiting step. (D) The products of a SN1 reaction will be a pair of enantiomers. (E) An aprotic solvent is best for Sn1 reactions as they tend to help stabilize carbocation intermediates.
Pleas explain how this process occurs. Identify SN1, SN2, E2, E1, nucleophiles and electrophiles.
