The explanation to why phosphonium ylide reacts with
Concept introduction:
Ylides:
Ylides are those compounds in which a negatively charged species such as carbanion is attached directly to a heteroatom like sulfur and phosphorous. Some examples of such compounds are phosphorus ylides, sulfonium ylides, carbonyl ylides and oxonium ylides.

Unlike a phosphonium ylide that reacts with an aldehyde or a ketone to form an alkene, a sulfonium ylide reacts with an aldehyde or a ketone to form an epoxide. Explain why one ylide forms an alkene, whereas the other forms an epoxide.
nitriles can be obtained by the reaction of sodium cyanide with an alkyl halide. starting from hexyl
bromide, hexyl cyanide is obtained. If this reaction is carried out in methanol, the reaction is
completed after 20 hours of heating, whereas only 20 minutes are required if the reaction is carried
out in dimethyl sulfoxide
propose an explanation for the effect of the solvent on the observed reactivity, why could
the time taken be longer
When bromomethane undergoes solvolysis in a solvent mixture composed of 90% water/10% acetone, the reaction rate is faster than when the same compound is solvolyzed in 80% water/20% acetone. Explain.
