Question

Q1) What is the following reaction: Q2) Consider the SN2 reaction of 1-chloro-5-methylhexane with CN^- ion. Assuming no other changes, what effect on the rate would result from simultaneously doubling the concentrations of both 1-chloro-5- methylhexane and CN^- ion? A) No effect B) It would double the rate. C) It would triple the rate. D) It would increase the rate four times. E) It would increase the rate six times. Q3) What is/are the product(s) of the following reaction: 04) What is the relationship between these pairs of molecules. Define each stereocenter (R/S)

Explanation / Answer

Q1 - B

Q2 - D ( rate = k [ 2 R-X] [ 2 CN-] = 4 k [ R-X][Cn-] = 4 times old rate )

Q3- D ( NaOET is strong basic and hence elimination prefers over substitution)

Q4- (a) S and R hence enatiomers

(b) ( R, S) and ( R , R) hence diasteromeers
