Concept introduction:
The nucleophilic substitution reaction
Nucleophiles are the electron-rich species that donate the electron pair to the electron-deficient species in the reaction. The electron-deficient species are known as the electrophiles.

- Can you explain the rules and the mechanism and provide the resultarrow_forwardWhich of the following are most likely to behave as electrophiles, and which as nucleophiles? Explain.(a) NH4(b) CqN (c) Br (d) CH3NH2 (e) HOCqCOHarrow_forwardThe above reaction involves heterolytic bond breakage of HBr a) Encircle the nucleophile (s) and electrophile (s) and explain why. b) Give the mechanism of the reaction by: ) Drawing the appropriate arrows to track the flow of electrons in Showing the species formed after bond breakage and bond formation with appropriate charges. c) Predict the final products.arrow_forward
- For the given SN2 reaction, draw the organic and inorganic products of the reaction, and identify the nucleophile, substrate, and leaving group.arrow_forward3b)Give the mechanisms for the following transformations:arrow_forwardDefine the Mechanism of the Radical Addition of HBr to an Alkene ?arrow_forward
- List the following in increasing order of nucleophilic strength. CH3COO-, H2O, CH3O-, OH-, CH3CH20-arrow_forwardIn light of the fact that tertiary alkyl halides undergo spontaneous dissociation to yield a carbocation plus halide ion (see Problem 10-45), propose a mechanism for the following reaction.arrow_forwardAlkyl halides can be reduced to alkanes by a radical reaction with tributyltin hydride, (C4H9)3SnH, in the presence of light (hv). Propose a radical chain mechanism by which the reaction might occur. The initiation step is the light-induced homolytic cleavage of the Sn-H bond to yield a tributyltin radical.arrow_forward
- The rate law for addition of Br2 to an alkene is first orderin Br2 and first order in the alkene. Does this informationsuggest that the mechanism of addition of Br2 to analkene proceeds in the same manner as for addition of HBr?Explain.arrow_forwardFill in the blank: The acid catalyzed hydration of alkenes (addition of H2O/H2SO4) is: A) a polar mechanism with carbocation intermediate B) a radical mechanism with carbon radical intermediate C) a concerted reactionarrow_forwardORGANIC CHEMISTRY - PERICYCLIC REACTIONS Draw the mechanism, explain the stereochemistry of the products, indicate the type of reaction.arrow_forward
