Chapter 9, Problem 36P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Better nucleophile in methanol is to be identified from the given options.

Concept Introduction:

Stronger the base, better is the nucleophile.

If the attacking atoms are different in size and the reaction is carried out in a protic solvent, stronger the bases are poorer nucleophiles as ion-dipole interactions between the ions and the solvent.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Better leaving group is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Weaker the basicity of the group better is the leaving propensity.

If the attacking atoms are different in size and the reaction is carried out in a protic solvent, stronger the bases are poorer nucleophiles as ion-dipole interactions between the ions and the solvent.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Better leaving group is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Weaker the basicity of the group better is the leaving propensity.

If the attacking atoms are different in size and the reaction is carried out in a protic solvent, stronger the bases are poorer nucleophiles as ion-dipole interactions between the ions and the solvent.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Better leaving group is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Weaker the basicity of the group better is the leaving propensity.

If the attacking atoms are different in size and the reaction is carried out in a protic solvent, stronger the bases are poorer nucleophiles as ion-dipole interactions between the ions and the solvent.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Better leaving group is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Weaker the basicity of the group better is the leaving propensity.

If the attacking atoms are different in size and the reaction is carried out in a protic solvent, stronger the bases are poorer nucleophiles as ion-dipole interactions between the ions and the solvent.

(f)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Better leaving group is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Weaker the basicity of the group better is the leaving propensity.

If the attacking atoms are different in size and the reaction is carried out in a protic solvent, stronger the bases are poorer nucleophiles as ion-dipole interactions between the ions and the solvent.
