3-bromo-1-pentene and 1-bromo-2-pentene undergo SN1 reaction at almost the same rate, but one is a secondary halide while the other is a primary halide. Explain your answer. Then,
decide which the following compounds will react faster in an E2 reaction; trans-1-bromo-2-isopropylcyclohexane or cis-1-bromo-2-isopropylcyclohexane.
and Explain your answer.
Alkenyl halides such as vinyl bromide, CH2=CHBr, undergo neither SN1 nor SN2 reactions. What factors account for this lack of reactivity?
Nucleophilic substitution happens on compounds having nucleophilic
groups as leaving groups. The rule is, the weaker the basicity of a group of
the substrate, the better is its leaving ability. In these substitution
reactions, the basicity of leaving group must be less than the incoming
nucleophilic group. Nucleophilic substitution reaction at sp3-hybridized
carbon is either bimolecular (SN2) or unimolecular. Bimolecular reaction
takes place in single step, involving transition state intermediate. In SN2
reaction, inversion in configuration occurs. In case of optically active alkyl
halides, the inversion in configuration is called Walden inversion. SN2
reaction is preferred if the compound has less steric hindrance. On the
other hand, unimolecular (SN1) reaction involves two steps and a
carbonium ion intermediate. Optically active substrates give racemic
mixture in these type of reactions. Which of the following will produce
enantiomeric pair on treatment with HOH? "
