Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
A mechanism which is consistent with all the experimental facts is to be suggested.
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 nucleophile. The
(b)
Interpretation:
A reason as to why the reaction

- (a) For which aromatic compound do you expect nitration to take place faster: furan or thiophene? (b) For each of these compounds, at which C atom do you expectelectrophilic aromatic substitution to predominantly takeplace? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward(i) Explain why a high reaction temperature favours elimination reactions, instead of substitution reactions. (ii) Explain why polar aprotic solvents favour Sn2 reaction but not favour SN1 reaction.arrow_forward(ORGANIC CHEMISTRY) (mechanisms) please give a answer for the following mechanism. Provide a detailed stepwise mechanism for the following transformation.arrow_forward
- (a) Give a mechanism for this reaction, showing how the two products arise as aconsequence of the resonance-stabilized intermediate.(b) The bromination of cyclohexene using NBS gives only one major product, as shown onthe previous page. Explain why there is no second product from an allylic shift.arrow_forward(A) Provide the major organic product for the reaction below (B) Would the product be optically active of optically in active?arrow_forwardthe following reaction scheme leads to the formation of compound B. give the structure of the final products and of the intermediate product A and justify, using the mechanism, the formation of thesearrow_forward
- 3. For the following variants of the rearrangement reactions we have covered in class, propose a feasible step-by-step mechanism for each of them. (a) NaOMe MeOHarrow_forward(c) (SYN) Show how to synthesize each of these species from an alkyl halide. (b) (a) OpPh3 PPH3 H2C PPh3arrow_forwardthe following reaction scheme leads to the formation of compound C. give the structure of the final product C and of the intermediate products A and B and justify, using the mechanism, the formation of the product A. Give the serereochemistry of the final product obtainedarrow_forward
- a) Describe the general steps in the mechanism for an SN1 reaction and an SN2 reaction. b) Discuss in detail the similarities and differences between these two mechanisms.arrow_forward(a) Recall, from WP 14.26 (and from lecture), cyclopentadienone and cycloheptatrienone differ drastically in reactivity and stability. One is very stable and unreactive, and the other one is very reactive and rapidly undergoes a dimerization reaction. Which one is particularly stable? Explain why. For the one which is extremely reactive, explain why, but also draw the structure of the dimer which is formed rapidly.arrow_forwardPlease explain disrotatory reaction in detail. Please provide a detailed textual explanation of the reaction mechanism. Solve the reaction below through heat...arrow_forward
