Concept explainers
Under appropriate conditions (S)-1-bromo-1-fiuoroethane reacts with sodium methoxide to give pure (S)-1-fluoro-1-methoxyethane.
- a. Why is bromide rather than fluoride replaced?
- b. Draw perspective structures (as shown on the previous page for 2-bromobutane) for the starting material the transition state, and the product.
- c. Does the product show retention or inversion of configuration?
- d. Is this result consistent with reaction by the SN2 mechanism?
