Concept introduction:
The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which one nucleophile is substituted by another nucleophile. These reactions depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the incoming nucleophile.

- In the reaction (E) 2-methyl -2,4-hexadiene with hydrogen bromide at room temperature, two isomeric products are isolated. Draw the structures for these isomeric products. Which is the kinetic isomer and which is the thermodynamic isomer.arrow_forwardGive the products for each of the following reactions. (a) (b) (c) + H₂cod OCH3 о || -COCH 3arrow_forwardReaction of but-1-ene with HBr gives two products in unequal amounts. In each case, identify the two products, state which is the major product, explain why it is the major product and give the mechanism for its formation.arrow_forward
- (a) Draw the products (including stereoisomers) formed when 2methylhex-2-ene is treated with HBr in the presence of peroxides. (b) Draw the products (including stereoisomers) formed when (S)-2,4dimethylhex-2-ene is treated with HBr and peroxides under similar conditions.arrow_forwardThe major product formed by addition of HBr to (CH3)2C=CH– CH=C(CH3)2 is the same at low and high temperature. Draw the structure of the major product, and explain why the kinetic and thermodynamic products are the same in this reaction.arrow_forwardWhen tert-butyl bromide is heated with an equal amount of ethanol in an inert solvent, one of the products is ethyl tert-butyl ether. (a) What happens to the reaction rate if the concentration of ethanol is doubled?arrow_forward
- What is (are) the major organic product(s) obtained from the following reaction? Br2 O (2R,3R)-dibromobutane meso-2,3-dibromobutane O (2S,3S)-dibromobutane O Racemic mixturearrow_forwardWhen treated with NaOH, the bromide below gives an alkene by the E2 mechanism, by elimination of the H atom indicated by the arrow: (a) Draw the Newman projection from which elimination takes place. (b) Draw the mechanism. (c) Draw the product with the proper stereochemistry. (d) Assign the proper stereochemical descriptor to the product. (e) Give the rate equationarrow_forwardb) Listed below are several hypothetical nucleophilic substitution reactions. None is synthetically useful because the product indicated is not formed at an appreciable rate. In each case provide an explanation for the failure of the reaction to take place as indicated.
