Chapter 6: 6-22P (page 312)

Propose an SN1 mechanism for the solvolysis of 3-bromo-2,3-dimethylpentane in ethanol.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Solvolysis is a type of substitution reaction in which solvent molecules act as nucleophiles.

Step by step solution

01

Step1: Definition of solvolysis

Solvolysis is a type of substitution reaction in which solvent molecules act as nucleophiles.

02

Step2: In SN1 mechanism reaction take place in two steps,

The first step is the formation of carbocation.

Second step is an attack of nucleophile on carbocation to give the final product.

03

Step3:

Here in above reaction first step is formation of carbocation take place with the removal of bromide ion. Since reaction take place in ethanol, in second step attack of ethanol on carbocation take place followed by removal of hydrogen results in final product.
