In case of the substrate, the relative rate of an
In case of the nucleophile, the steric hindrance is less important as the reaction center, i.e., the atom which donates the electron pair, is away from any bulky alkyl groups.
Sodium salts of alcohols are ionic compounds and tend to behave as a spectator ion

- show the mechanism for the reaction and the product of the reaction below.arrow_forwardThe following reaction is slow and gives an unusual product. Propose a mechanism for the observed product based on what you know about SN1 and SN2-type mechanisms.arrow_forwardDraw the products of the following reaction and show the mechanism; CH3-CH2-CCH3Br-CH3 + CH3OHarrow_forward
- Please show the mechanisms and major product for the reactions belowarrow_forwardPropose a mechanism and predict the products for each reaction. For reactions where more then one product can form, draw all possible products and predict which would be the major product.arrow_forwardWhich mechanism, E1 or E2, will occur in each reaction?arrow_forward
