Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The order of decreasing nucleophilicity in a protic solvent of the given compounds is to be ranked.
Concept introduction:
Nucleophilicity is a measure of the ability of any nucleophile to react with an electron-deficient species.
Nucleophiles are Lewis bases, mean electron rich, and have the ability to donate electron pairs.
The order of nucleophilicity can be decided on the basis of charge.
A negatively charged nucleophile is more reactive than its conjugate acid.
In the given nucleophiles, the negatively charged nucleophiles are more reactive than the neutral one.
The nucleophile attached with electron withdrawing group has less nucleophilicity because electron withdrawing attracts electron density toward itself.
Nucleophilicity increases down the group in the periodic table.
Protic solvents are the solvents that form hydrogen bonds. They contain a hydrogen atom, which is bonded to an electronegative atom such as oxygen or nitrogen.

When 2 mol of 2-methyl-2-butene is added to 1 mol of BH3, the product formed is bis(3-methyl-2-butyl)borane, nicknamed in reagent "disiamylborane." Write its structure. Bis(3-methyl-2-butyl)borane is a useful certain syntheses that require a sterically hindered borane. (The name “disiamyl" comes from "disecondary-iso-amyl," a completely unsystematic and unacceptable name. The name "amyl" is an old common name for a five-carbon alkyl group.) donbyarrow_forward

Part of this process involves the conversion of radical A to PGG2, an unstable intermediate, which is then transformed to PGF2α and other prostaglandins. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the conversion of A to PGG2. (Hint: The mechanism begins with radical addition to a carbon–carbon double bond to form a resonance-stabilized radical.)arrow_forward
