Question

is lulls leactio more likely to proceed via an Svl or Sx2 reaction? Explain. Did the reaction favor products or reactants? Why is concentrated sulfuric acid used in this reaction and not aqueous acid? Hint: What is the big difference between concentrated and aqueous acids, and what role would that difference play in the reaction? (Explain and draw the reaction and show the equilibrium that is dependent on the acid.) How can you tell? 2. 3. 4. Why is Benzyl Bromide, which appears to be a primary halide, able to undergo SN2 and SNI reactions? Support your answer with drawings.

Explanation / Answer

Benzyl Bromide support SN1 because it form it forms very stable Carbo cation.

Benzyl Bromide also perform SN 2 because it has primary alkyl halide group where nucleophile directly attack.
