1. Which of the following is the strongest nucleophile? Refer to the diagram below with an MeOH, MeSH, etc. 2. Which of the following is true about the stereochemistry of SN1 reaction?a.retention of configuration at the electrophilic centerb.50:50 mixture of retention and inversion of configuration at the electrophilic centerc.inversion of configuration at the electrophilic centerd. slightly more inversion than retention at the electrophilic center
Which reactions will proceed faster in a polar, aprotic solvent? (CH3)2CHCH2I+Na+N3−(CH3)2CHCH2I+Na+N3− (CH3)3CBr+HSCH2CH3(CH3)3CBr+HSCH2CH3 CH3CH2CH2Br+Na+CN−CH3CH2CH2Br+Na+CN− (CH3)2CHOSO2CH3+HOCH(CH3)2
In the box to the left of each reaction below, write the mechanism by which it occurs (could be SN1, SN2, or E1, or even 2 of them). Then draw the product(s).
Why we need step 3 before step 4? a. Because the nitro group increases the electrophilicity at the ortho positions which is where the bromine is added. b. Because the amine group is a strong ortho, para director which is what controls the regiochemical outcome of this bromination. c. Step 4 is unessesary. The symmetry of compound 3 allows for the bromination to be regioselective and give compound 5. 5. There will be a mixture of products because there is no selectivity for a major product.
The use of curved arrows is a powerful tool that illustrates even complex reactions. a.Add curved arrows to show how carbocation A is converted to carbocation B. Label each new σ bond formed. Similar reactions have been used in elegant syntheses of steroids. b.Draw the product by following the curved arrows. This reaction is an example of a [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement, as we will learn in Chapter 25.
From each pair, select the stronger nucleophile. Q.)Cl- or I- in DMSO
