Would you expect acetate ion (CH3CO2 -) to be a better nucleophile in an SN2 reaction with an alkyl halide carried out in methanol or in dimethyl sulfoxide
Illustrate the resonance effect of the methoxy group -OCH3, on the structure of the benzene ring. Draw all the oissuvke resonance forms of methoxybenzene, including the hybrid Based on the structures, explain how the presence of the -OCH3 group affects: (i) the reactivity of the benzene ring towards electrophilic attack (ii) the orientation or point of attack of an incoming electrophilic reagent on the benzene ring.
In an E2 reaction, what are the characteristics of a good base? How does a chemist tell a strong versus weak or bulky versus not bulky nucleophile? What is the best type of solvent for this reaction? Please define the terms.
Which solvent would make the bromination through electrophilic aromatic substitution faster? Pentane Toluene Propanoic acid Petroleum ether
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.
A student wanted to know whether the greater proximity of the nucleophile to the C-2 carbon in the transition state is what causes the 1,2-addition product to be formed faster when 1,3-butadiene reacts with HCl. Therefore, she decided to investigate the reaction of 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene with HCl. Her friend told her that she should use 1-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene instead. Should she follow her friend’s advice?
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.
From each pair, select the stronger nucleophile. Q.)Cl2 or I2 in methanol
