Chapter 9: Q25P (page 419)

Which alkyl halide in each pair is more reactive in an E2 reaction with hydroxide ions?

Short Answer

Expert verified

1. It is a two step reaction.

2. In this carbocation is formed.

3. In this negative ion will attack from the side where there is less number of bulkier groups.

4. As the carbocation intermediate is formed so the stability order 3掳 carbocation>2掳 carbocation>1掳 carbocation

Step by step solution

01

How SN1 reaction proceed

1. It is a two step reaction.

2. In this carbocation is formed.

3. In this negative ion will attack from the side where there is less number of bulkier groups.

4. As the carbocation intermediate is formed so the stability order 3掳 carbocation>2掳 carbocation>1掳 carbocation

02

Final answer

a) In this more stable alkene will form.

b) In this more stable alkene will form as the double bonds are conjugated.

c) It has four hydrogen that can be removed to form an alkane with the two substituents on the Sp2carbon so it has a greater possibility of having an effective collision with the nucleophile than the other alkyl halide that has only two such hydrogens.

d) In this more stable alkene will form as the double bonds are conjugated.

Four alkenes are formed from the E1 reaction of 3-bromo-2,3-dimethylpentane and methoxide ion. Draw the structures of the alkenes and rank them according to the amount that would be formed.

Rank the following species in each set from best nucleophile to poorest nucleophile.

a. Identify the substitution products that form when 2-bromo-2-methylpropane is dissolved in a mixture of 80% ethanol and 20% water.

b. Explain why the same products are obtained when 2-chloro-2-methylpropane is dissolved in a mixture of 80% ethanol and 20% water.

Methoxychlor is an insecticide that was intended to take DDT鈥檚 place because it is not as soluble in fatty tissues and is more readily biodegradable. It, too, can accumulate in the environment, however, so its use was also banned鈥攊n 2002 in the European Union and in 2003 in the United States. Why is methoxychlor less soluble in fatty tissues than DDT?
