Question

Look at the given reaction and select the most appropriate answer from the dropdown menus to fill in the analysis. Choose one of the answers in the bracket:

The substrate haloalkane is a ["methyl", "primary (unhindered)", "primary (hindered)", "secondary", "tertiary"] haloalkane. The nucleophile is a ["poor", "weakly basic", "strongly basic (unhindered)", "strongly basic (hindered)"] nucleophile. And the solvent is ["protic", "aprotic"] .

This means the reaction likely follows a(n) ["SN2", "SN1", "E2", "E1", "SN2 and E2", "SN1 and E1", "No reaction"] mechanism(s), which will result in the stereochemistry at the reacting center being ["randomized", "inverted", "predictable but not inverted", "unchanged"] due to ["a planar carbocation intermediate", "backside attack transition state", "anti-periplanar transition state", "other"] in the mechanism.

Question 9 6 pts CH3OH MB - ??? în Br 2 CH3 a вон Уоснчлен OH Look at the given reaction and select the most appropriate answer from the dropdown menus to fill in the analysis. The substrate haloalkane is a [Select] loalkane. The nucleophile is a [Select] nucleophile. And the solvent is [Select] This means the reaction likely follows a(n) [ Select] mechanism(s), which will result in the stereochemistry at the reacting center being [ Select] due to [Select] in the mechanism.

Answer 1

CH3OH OH The substrate halo alkane is a primary unhindered) halo alkane. The nucleophile is a weakly basic nucleophile. And the solvent is proric. This means the reaction likely follows a SN2 mechanism, which will result in the stereochemistry at the reacting centre being inverted due to backside attack transition state in the mechanism.
