Chapter 12: Q-21-21-4P (page 354)

Rank the compounds in each of the following sets in order of their expected reactivity toward nucleophilic acyl substitution:

Short Answer

Expert verified

The order of reactivity towards nucleophilic acyl substitution:

(a)

(b)

Step by step solution

01

Nucleophilic acyl substitution

The organic group that is shown in image is the acyl group.

When acyl group reacts with a nuclephile, the leaving group in them is replaced by the nuclephile.

02

Subpart (a)

The kinetic factor which rate the reaction is the leaving group attached to acyl carbon. The condition for the reaction seems identical, faster the leaving list will gives the reaction faster.

The order of reactivity can be denoted as,

03

Subpart (b)

The compound order is based on the expected reactivity rate.

The reaction rate will be increased for the weaker base. The order of nucleophile acyl substitution can be denoted as,
