Concept explainers
Interpretation:
From the given information, the structures for compounds A and B have to be proposed.
Concept Introduction:
Reagents: Highly polarizable reagents are considered as strong nucleophiles if the conjugate acid of the nucleophile has little nature then those nucleophiles considered as weak bases too. If the reagent is not polarizable and has basic nature, then the reagent is considered as strong base.
Reaction mechanism path is depending on both natures of substrate and reagent.
If the reagent is strong base as well as strong nucleophile and the substrate is primary
If the substrate is tertiary alkyl halide, then the reaction follows
If the reagent is strong bulky base, then the reaction follows E2 mechanism. For E2 reaction, reagent should be strong base.
Constitutional isomers are having the same molecular formula and different bond connectivity between the atoms.
