Chapter 7, Problem 37P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product, mechanism and labelling of major, minor for the following reactions are to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogens of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any other functional group is called substitution reaction.

Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.

Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by addition of molecules.

Nucleophilic substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogens of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any nucleophile is called substitution reaction.

A nucleophile is a molecule or atom with the most negative charge.

There are two types of nucleophilic substitution reactions: ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}1$, which is unimolecular and ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$, which is bimolecular.
