Identify the mechanism by which each of the reactions above proceeds from among the mechanisms listed. Use the letters a - i for your answers.

a = Proton transfer d = Radical chain addition g = E2 Elimination b = Lewis acid/base e = Electrophilic addition h = SN1 Nucleophilic substitution c = Radical chain substitution f = E1 Elimination i = SN2 Nucleophilic substitution

Explanation / Answer

Q1)

1) Ans : e -Electrophilic addition

Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions.

2) Ans : g -E2 elimination

NaOEt is a strong base. So E2 elimination takes place.

Q2)

1) Ans: h- SN1 nucleophilic substitution

Given compound is a tertiary halide and CH3OH is a weak nucleophile. So SN1 nucleophilic substitution takes place.

2) Ans: a - proton transfer

Transfer of proton from alkyl halide to phenoxide ion.

Q3)

1) Ans: e -Electrophilic addition

Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions.

2) Ans: d - radical chain addition

Rection intermediate is a free radical and product is addition polymer.

So it is a radical chain addition reaction.
