Concept introduction:
Nucleophilic substitution reaction is a reaction where an electron rich species attacks a substrate which is electron deficient. When the solvent of the solution behaves as a nucleophile then it is known as solvolysis. Nucleophilic substitution reactions are of two types,
The unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction is

- what would a detailed step-by-step mechanism be for a reaction between bromine and trans-stilbene if the solvent, ethanol, is a stronger nucleophile than the bromide ions?arrow_forwardin a reaction where trans-stilbene reacts with a molecule of bromine while using ethanol as a solvent, what would happen if the ethanol was a more reactive nucleophile than the bromide ion(s)? would the product be affected?arrow_forwardBriefly explain why only one product is obtained from the reaction of Compound B despite the presence of two acidic alpha-protons.arrow_forward
- How does bromobenzene react differently from benzyl chloride under SN1 and SN2 conditions, and why?arrow_forwardtert-Butyl chloride undergoes solvolysis in both acetic acid and formic acid. Solvolysis occurs 5000 times faster in one of these two solvents than in the other. In which solvent is solvolysis faster? Explain your answer. (Hint: Formic acid is more polar than acetic acid.)arrow_forwardSuggest reactivity of compound A, B and C in increasing order of E2 reactionarrow_forward
- Both menthyl chloride and neomenthyl chloride (structures shown below) undergo E2 elimination in the presence of EtONa in ethanol. Provide the possible product(s). Which substrate reacts faster in term of overall reaction rate? Explain why.arrow_forwardArrange the following chlorides in order of increasing reactivity in a solvolysis (SN1) reaction by typing in the numbers underneath them. For example, an answer of 123 would indicate that you think 1 is least reactive and 3 is most reactive.arrow_forwardDraw two complete elimination reactions including mechanisms (Zaitsev and Hoffman products) of 2 - fluoro-2-methylpentane. Indicate the reaction productsand provide the detailed justification regarding which reagents (bases) you chose for each product and why.arrow_forward
- What is the order of reactivity of SN1 and SN2 of n-butyl chloride, n-butyl bromide, sec-butyl chloride, tert-butyl chloride and crotyl chloride. Why? Sn2- with NaI/acetone and Sn1- with AgNO3/ethanolarrow_forwardSuggest Sn1/E1 or Sn2 mechanism for the formation of these products. Used curved arrows to draw in particulararrow_forwardThe SN2 reaction can be carried out intramolecularly (in the same molecule). What product do you expect to form when treating 4-Bromo-1-butanol with a base?justify the reasonarrow_forward
