Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The mechanism which shows that the substituents containing the azo group can facilitate both electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution is to be stated
Concept introduction:
The substitution reaction in which an electron seeking electrophile attacks an electron rich center by replacing another electrophile is known as electrophilic substitution reaction. The substitution reaction in which a nucleus seeking nucleophile attacks an electron deficient center by replacing another nucleophile is known as nucleophilic substitution reaction.
(b)

The mechanism which shows that the substituents containing the azo group can facilitate both electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution is to be stated
Concept introduction:
The substitution reaction in which an electron seeking electrophile attacks an electron rich center by replacing another electrophile is known as electrophilic substitution reaction. The substitution reaction in which a nucleus seeking nucleophile attacks an electron deficient center by replacing another nucleophile is known as nucleophilic substitution reaction.

- the reactions should be all covered in organic chemistry loudon 6 th edition , for exmaple, clemensen/wolf -kishnerarrow_forwardAlthough two products (A and B) are possible when naphthalene undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution, only A is formed. Draw resonance structures for the intermediate carbocation to explain why this is observed.arrow_forwardProvide the mechanism of the redica reaction below (b)arrow_forward
- Fluoride ion is usually a poor leaving group because it is not very polarizable. Fluorideserves as the leaving group in the Sanger reagent (2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene), used inthe determination of peptide structures (Chapter 24). Explain why fluoride works as aleaving group in this nucleophilic aromatic substitution, even though it is a poor leavinggroup in the SN1 and SN2 mechanisms.arrow_forwardshow all work and annotate, and propose the final structurearrow_forwardThe following SN2 reaction gave J as a major product. Determine the structure of J. Explain your answer.arrow_forward
