Concept explainers
Interpretation:
For the given reaction that produces both substitution and elimination products at room temperature, it is be determined which product will be the major product if the temperature at which the reaction is run is raised and which product will be the major product if the temperature of the reaction is lowered.
Concept introduction:
Most of the reaction often produces both substitution as well as elimination products. When substitution and elimination reactions are both favored under a specific temperature, it is often possible to change the outcome by changing the temperature under which the reactions are carried out. Substitution and elimination products are formed in roughly equal amounts at the lower temperatures. Increasing the temperature of the reaction tends to promote elimination more than substitution because there is significantly more disorder in the products of an elimination reaction than in the products of a competing substitution reaction.

Motivate also which of the two products will be formed preferentiallyarrow_forwardAccording to Hammond's postulate, which of the following is correct? The structure of the transition state of an endothermic reaction will be more similar to the structure of the reagents than to that of the products. The structure of the intermediary in an endothermic reaction will be more similar to the structure of the reagents than to that of the products. The transition state structure of an exothermic reaction will be more similar to reagents than to products. All transition states are more similar to products than reagents All transition states are more similar to reagents than products.arrow_forwardWhich of the folloqing best describes the major product for the following substitution reaction?
