(a)
Interpretation:
The reason that the compound A undergoes solvolysis much faster than compound B is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which nucleophile attack at the electrophilic carbon center. These reactions depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the nucleophile. The
Neighboring group participation is the interaction of the lone pair electrons of an atom (hetero) or electron present in sigma and pi bond with the parent molecule to increase the
(b)
Interpretation:
The account for the retention of stereochemistry observed in reaction A with a mechanism is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which nucleophile attack at the electrophilic carbon center. These reactions depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the nucleophile. The
Neighboring group participation is the interaction of the lone pair electrons of an atom (hetero) or electron present in sigma and pi bond with the parent molecule to increase the speed of the reaction. It is also known as anchimeric assistance.
