Question

The following reaction will not proceed as written. Clearly explain why this reaction will not occur. 

Answer 1

* + Nao uss nucleopilic + Naon More Nucleophelic Na Wa ДЫ more Resonance stabalized stable and less nucleophilic So, forward reaction not- - O cawr

Wrong step: O : Nao H H H H Electrophile O Nao Nucleophile Correct step: .. Na :O: OH H H Acetic acid Electrophile Nao Base

Answer 2

* + Nao uss nucleopilic + Naon More Nucleophelic Na Wa ДЫ more Resonance stabalized stable and less nucleophilic So, forward reaction not- - O cawr

Answer 3

Answer:

* + Nao uss nucleopilic + Naon More Nucleophelic Na Wa ДЫ more Resonance stabalized stable and less nucleophilic So, forward reaction not- - O cawr

Due to the resonance in this structure the negative charge is delocalised, which makes it weak nucleophile therefore it has less tendency to get attack towards the electrophilic carbon centre (ester carbon group) rather it acts as a good base which can absstract the proton from the electrophilic compound (ester) to form acetic acid. So the following reaction will not proceed as written.

Wrong step: O : Nao H H H H Electrophile O Nao Nucleophile Correct step: .. Na :O: OH H H Acetic acid Electrophile Nao Base

Answer 4

Answer 5

* + Nao uss nucleopilic + Naon More Nucleophelic Na Wa ДЫ more Resonance stabalized stable and less nucleophilic So, forward reaction not- - O cawr

Forward reaction will not occure but backward reaction occurs as ethonate anion is more nucleophillic than acetate anion.

Hope it helps you and don't forget to thumb's up.
