1. You wish to substitute the bromine in the following molecules with a nucleophile. Explain whether the given molecule would react by the Sn1 and Sn2 mechanism and explain why. 1-methyl-1-bromo-cyclohexane, 1-bromopropane, 2-bromohexane.
1.Why does benzyl bromide react under both Sn1 conditions and Sn2 conditions?
2.Why is bromobenzene nonreactive under both Sn1 and Sn2 conditions?
5. If bromocyclohexane reacts faster than chlorocyclohexane in an Sn2 reaction, what could be the reason?
11. Account for the rapid rate of ethanolysis of ClCH2OCH2CH3 even though the substrate is a primary halide. Hint: the reaction of the substrate with ethanol proceeds by Sn1 mechanism. Draw the Lewis structures.

1. In both the sodium iodide
test and the silver nitrate test, why does 2-bromobutane react
faster than 2-chlorobutane?
Bromine is a better leaving group since it is a weaker base than
chlorine is.
2. a. Why does benzyl chloride react under both
SN1 and SN2 conditions?
Benzyl
chloride is a primary alkyl halide, hence reactive under SN2
conditions.
The
primary carbocation formed due to the departure of Cl- is
stabilized by the pi electrons in the benzene ring.

5) Iodine is a better leaving group than bromine. But iodine is
a better nucleophile than bromine. Why is that?
Introduction Alkyl halides can be prepared from alcohols by reactions with hydrogen halides (HCI, HBr, or HI) via nucleophilic substitution. In this type of reaction, the nucleophile displaces a leaving group from a carbon atom of an organic substrate (here the alcohol once protonated). Both electrons of the new bond to the carbon are provided by the nucleophile while the...

1. In the SN1 mechanism, the second step is attack of the nucleophile, so increasing the nucleophile concentration should speed up this step. Why, then, do we say that the rate of an SN1 reaction does not depend on the concentration of the nucleophile? 2. If one wants to select a substrate that will react in both SN1 and SN2 reactions, what substrate structure characteristics are desirable? 3. Iodide is a good nucleophile and also a good leaving group. Yet...

For the following reaction, the cyanide nucleophile could
reasonably substitute at either of two positions. One mechanism
produces 4-cyanoheptane and dimethylsulfide. The competing
mechanism produces 4-methylthioheptane and acetonitrile (CH3CN). In
practice, only one substitution is observed. Choose the most likely
mechanistic pathway for this reaction and draw both of the
products. Select whether it proceeds via an SN1 or SN2
mechanism.
