Chapter 11: 45aE (page 350)

How might you prepare each of the following molecules using a nucleophilic substitution reaction at some step?
(a)

Short Answer

Expert verified

$C H_{3} B r + N {a^{+}}^{-} C \equiv C H {(C H_{3})}_{2} \to C H_{3} C \equiv C H {(C H_{3})}_{2} + N a B r$

Step by step solution

SN2reaction

It is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which an old bond breaks and a new bond is formed both processes occur simultaneously. Hence, it’s a single-step reaction.

Formation of CH3C≡CHCH32

Here, nucleophilic substitution occurs where NaBr is produced and desired product is formed. $C H_{3} B r + N a^{+} C^{-} \equiv C H {(C H_{3})}_{2} \to C H_{3} C \equiv C H {(C H_{3})}_{2} + N a B r$
