Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Three different reactions which illustrate the formation of 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which one nucleophile is substituted by another nucleophile. These reactions depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the incoming nucleophile.

The SN2 reaction is a nucleophilic substitution bimolecular single step reaction in which the addition of incoming nucleophile and removal of the leaving group takes place simultaneously.

The SN1 reaction is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which the substitution of nucleophile takes place. This reaction takes place in two steps.
