If the leaving group in SN1 reaction is attached to the asymmetric carbon, a pair of enantiomers will be formed.
An enantiomer, also known as an optical isomer, is one of two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other that are non-superimposable.
(b)
Interpretation:
Substitution product of 3-bromo-1-methylcyclohexene added to a solution of sodium acetate in acetic acid has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction in which the reversible ionization of alkyl halide in the presence of aqueous acetone or an aqueous ethyl alcohol provides a carbocation as an intermediate, attacked by the nucleophile to form the product.
If the leaving group in SN1 reaction is attached to the asymmetric carbon, a pair of enantiomers will be formed.
An enantiomer, also known as an optical isomer, is one of two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other that are non-superimposable.

- What explains why many aldehydes and ketones can undergo self- condensation reactions in basic conditions? A. The alpha carbon can lose a proton and act like a nucleophile and the carbonyl carbon a an electrophile B. The alpha carbon can gain a proton and act like an electrophile and the carbonyl carbon is a nucleophile C. The oxygen of the carbonyl group can attack the carbon of the carbonyl group D. Only esters can undergo self-condensation reactionsarrow_forwardWhy is benzene less reactive toward electrophiles than an alkene, even though it has more π electrons than an alkene (six versus two)?arrow_forwardWhat is the product called when an aldehyde is reacted with excess ethanol with a acid catalyst?
