Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Nucleophile

The nucleophile is able to replace the leaving groups due to the presence of lone pair of electrons on it. The nucleophile donates its lone pair of electrons to the electrophile and forms a bond.

02

Addition of nucleophiles in the organic compounds

The nucleophile is added to the organic compounds by the direct attack of it or by the formation of a carbocation.

The direct attack of nucleophile is known as SN2reaction. The addition via the formation f carbocation is known as an SN1reaction

03

Explanation

The given reactions are the SN2reaction type in which the nucleophiles directly attack the electrophilic carbon and replace the leaving group.

a.

The is the nucleophile in this reaction, and the carbon in C-Br bond is an electrophilic position where nucleophile attacks and replaces the Br group as:

Nucleophilic attack

b.

The is the nucleophile in this reaction, and the carbon in C-Cl bond is an electrophilic position where nucleophile attacks and replaces the Cl group as:

Nucleophilic attack

c.

The is the nucleophile in this reaction, and the carbon in the C-I bond is an electrophilic position where nucleophile attacks and replaces the I group as:

Nucleophilic attack

d.

The is the nucleophile in this reaction, and the carbon in the C-I bond is an electrophilic position where nucleophile attacks and replaces the I group as:

Nucleophilic attack

Question: Aziridines are heterocycles that contain an N atom in a three-membered ring. Like epoxides, aziridines are strained and reactive because the 60° bond angles of the three-membered ring deviate greatly from the theoretical tetrahedral bond angle. One step in the synthesis of the drug oseltamivir (trade name Tamiflu, Section 3.2) involves the conversion of amine X to diamine Y, a reaction that occurs by way of an intermediate aziridine. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the conversion of X to Y. Indicate the structure of the aziridine intermediate, and explain the trans stereochemistry of the two amines in Y

Question:Rearrangements can occur during the dehydration of alcohols even though no carbocation is formed-that is, a 1,2-shift occurs as the C-O+H2 bond is broken, forming a more stable 2°or3°carbocation, as shown. Using this information, draw a stepwise mechanism that shows how CH3CH2CH2CH2OH is dehydrated with H2SO4to form a mixture of CH3CH2CH=CH2and the cis and trans isomers of CH3CH=CHCH3. We will see another example of this type of rearrangement in Section 18.5C.

Question: Draw a stepwise, detailed mechanism for the following reaction.

Question: Dehydration of 1,2,2-trimethylcyclohexanol with H2SO4 affords 1-tert-butylcyclopentene as a minor product. (a) Draw a stepwise mechanism to show how this alkene is formed. (b) Draw other alkenes formed in this dehydration. At least one must contain a five-membered ring.

Question: Which mechanism is favored by the use of crown ethers in nonpolar solvents, SN1orSN2 ?
