Question

Answer for the each of the following pairs that reacts with sodium iodide in acetone. Cyclohexyl chloride or 1-chlorohexane. Assume that the reaction is S_N2 mechanism Which compound reacts at the faster ate? Explain the reason. 2-Chloropentane or 2-fluoropentane. Assume that the reactions will go through S_N2 mechanism. Which compound reacts at the faster ate? Explain the reason. 2-Bromo-2-methylhexane or 2-Bromo-5-methylhrxane If the reactions will go through S_N2 mechanism, which compound reacts at the faster rate? Explain the reason.

Explanation / Answer

1.

a. 1-chloro hexan eis more reactive thean cyclohexyl chloride

b.

since you alredy mentioned SN2

in SN2 reaction back side attack takes place

so sterically less hindered alky; ha;ides are preferrable

so primary alkyl halides are most prefferable for SN2 mechanism

cyclo hexyl chloride is secondary .

2.

a. Clholopentane is more reactive than fluoropentane

b.

this is because F is very poor leaving group than Cl

3.

2-bromo 5-methyl hexane is more reactive than 2-bromo-3-methyl hexane

b.

th is is because

steric hinderence shoul dbe less in case of 2-bromo 54-methyl hexane
