Chapter 11: Q 11-11-20 P-a (page 347)

Tell whether each of the following reactions is likely to be SN1, SN2, E1, E1cB or E2:

a)

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The given reaction is SN2 reaction.


Step by step solution

01

SN2 reaction

A SN2reaction is bimolecular and is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. In this reaction, bond breaking and forming take place simultaneously. A transition state is formed where a bond is made, and a broken bond is seen.

02

Whether the reaction is SN1, SN2, E1, E1cB or E2:

a) The given reaction occur by a mechanism because the substrate of the reaction is primary, and the nucleophile is nonbasic. The product formed is a substitution product.
