Chapter 11: Q 11-11-42 E-e (page 350)

Which reactant in each of the following pairs is more nucleophilic? Explain.

(e) I- or Cl-

Short Answer

Expert verified

I-

Step by step solution

01

Nucleophile

Essentially, nucleophiles are negatively charged particles or species with lone electrons available for bonding.

02

Rules to identify more nucleophilic species

  1. Nucleophile attacking the same atom then nucleophilicity is same as basicity that more basic species is more nucleophilic in nature.
  2. Nucleophilicity increases in going down in a group of the periodic tables.
  3. A negatively charged nucleophile is more nucleophilic than a neutral nucleophile due to a negative charge.
03

More nucleophiles among I-  or Cl-

On the basis of:

  1. Rule2: Nucleophilicity increases in going down in a group of the periodic table.

\({I^ - }\;and\;C{l^ - }\) belong to group 17 of the periodic table and \({I^ - }\) is above \(C{l^ - }\) in the group.

I-is more nucleophilic thanCl-

Compound X is optically inactive and has the formulaC16H16Br2. On treatment with strong base, X gives hydrocarbon Y,C16H14. Compound Y absorbs 2 equivalents of hydrogen when reduced over a palladium catalyst and reacts with ozone to give two fragments. One fragment, Z, is an aldehyde with formulaC7H6O. The other fragment is glyoxal,(CHO)2. Write the reactions involved, and suggest structures for X, Y, and Z. What is the stereochemistry of X?
