Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The nucleophile, electrophile and the leaving group in the following substitution reaction should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Substitution reactions are the
Nucleophiles are the electron-rich species that donate an electron pair in the reaction and electrophiles are the electron-deficient and accept an electron pair in the reaction. The leaving group is a part of the molecule that departs or leaves with a pair of electrons in the heterolytic cleavage.
A substitution reaction favors product formation if a weaker base is formed relative to the nucleophile and vice-versa.
(b)
Interpretation:
The nucleophile, electrophile and the leaving group in the following substitution reaction should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Substitution reactions are the chemical reactions in which an atom, ion or group in one molecule is replaced by the other. These are also known as the single displacement or single substitution reactions.
Nucleophiles are the electron-rich species that donate an electron pair in the reaction and electrophiles are the electron-deficient and accept an electron pair in the reaction. The leaving group is a part of the molecule that departs or leaves with a pair of electrons in the heterolytic cleavage.
A substitution reaction favors product formation if a weaker base is formed relative to the nucleophile and vice-versa.

- Tunicates are marine animals that are called "sea squirts" because when they are taken out of water, they tend to contract and expel seawater. Lepadiformine is a cytotoxic agent (toxic to cells) isolated from a marine tunicate. During a recent synthesis of lepadiformine, the investigators observed the formation of an interesting by-product (3) while treating diol 1 with a reagent similar in function to PBr3 (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 3390–3400):arrow_forward5) Ethyne (CH≡CH) has a pKa of 25 and water has pKa of 15.7 and ammonia (NH3) has a pKa of 36. Write equilibrium reactions showing arrows that indicate whether the reactants or products are the favored for reaction of Ethyne with a. HO- , and b. with NH2 - and indicate which one is better for removing proton from Ethyne. Then calculate the equilibrium constants, Ke, for each equilibrium reaction. Are calculated Ke values match the expected results from prediction you made .arrow_forwardIn hydrobromination of 3-hexene, which of the following pairs of species act as nucleophiles? 3-hexene, Br– 3-hexene, HBr HBr, Br– HBr, Br2arrow_forward
