Which of the following statements is (are) true about ring opening of epoxides with nucleophiles? All nucleophiles ring open epoxides with backside attack. Statements (All nucleophiles ring open epoxides with backside attack), (Ring opening of epoxides always follows an SN2 mechanism), and (Nucleophilic attack always occurs at the less substituted carbon atom) are all true. Statements (All nucleophiles ring open epoxides with backside attack) and (Ring opening of epoxides always follows an SN2 mechanism) are true. Nucleophilic attack always occurs at the less substituted carbon atom. Ring opening of epoxides always follows an SN2 mechanism.

What are the list of difference between SN1, SN2, E1, and E2? (such as the type of nucleophiles needed, the type of substrates, solvents etc.) When do we know when to use which mechanism? How do we use heat in an elimination reaction?
Can you mark the part of compound 4 that are from compound 2? Also is compound 2 act as an nucleophile or electrophile when it reacted with compound 1?
Would the first reaction go through SN2 since both the nucleophile and electrophile are consistent with SN2, even though the solvent is protic? And then the second reaction (with only CH3OH) would go throguh SN1?
For which reaction mechanisms—SN1, SN2, E1, or E2—of thefollowing statement true? A statement may be true for one or moremechanisms. The reaction rate increases with better leaving groups.
Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. What is the purpose of deprotonation in the last step of electrophilic aromatic substitution? A) To neutralize the base that is present B) To make room for the electrophile C) To make the ring more reactive D) To restore an aromatic system E) None of the above
Draw out an example of the SN1, SN2, E1, E2, Organometallic, Gragnard, Alcohol oxidation and reduction mechanisms complete with curly arrows showing electron flow. Please also note the solvents or types of solvents used. Thanks in advance.
Does dehydrogenation of alkyl halides create Zaitsef or Hoffman products? In this example, which is created? I think it's Hoffman because there is a more stable/substituted option which is to put the double bond to the right of the positive charge instead of to the left. Or does it depend on the reactants? Further clarification is needed. Thank you in advance!
In both examples below the reactants shown are combined to bring about a nucleophilic substitution (SN1, SN2) and/or elimination (E1, E2) reaction. What is the major reaction that takes place in each case?
What is the difference of using toluene, hexane, and dichloromethane as solvents in SN2 reactions? In what conditions would we use toluene? For example in the SN2 reaction where N works as a nucleophile and kicks away Cl, it uses toluene as solvent, why is that?
