Alkyl Iodide is more reactive towards SN2 reaction than alkyl bromide. Since, iodine is bigger in size than Bromine so the bonds get longer so weaker the bond, the more easily it is broken (making iodide the good leaving group), the lower the activation energy for the reaction and the faster the rate at which it will occur.Also, iodine is less electronegative than bromine so the carbon-halide bonds is weaker in iodine than bromine , making alkyl iodidemore reactive.
How would the rate change in a reaction if you went from using an alkyl iodide...
3. An alkyl halide is reacted with sodium iodide and sodium chloride in separate test tubes. The rate was the same in both experiments. Is this an Syl or an SN2 reaction? How would you know? 4. Why is sodium iodide used as a solution in acetone in these experiments instead of a solution in water? 5. Will the reaction below be Spl or Sn2? Show the mechanism.
c. The reaction of triphenylphosphine with an alkyl halide is a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reaction in which triphenylphosphine is the nucleophile and the alkyl halide is theelectrophile. Is triphenylphosphine acting like a Lewis acid, Lewis base, Bronsted-Lowry acid, orBronsted-Lowry base? How would you characterize the behavior of the alkyl halide? d. In the lab, you will make your ylide by reacting benzyltriphenylphosphonium bromide with sodium hydroxide. How would you characterize this reaction? e. Is the ylide that you form...
For alkyl halides used in SN1 and SN2 mechanisms, rank the leaving groups in order of r eaction rate. For alkyl halides used in SN1 and SN2 mechanisms, rank the leaving groups in order of reaction rate. Iodide Chloride Bromide Fluoride
Suppose you have a following reaction: How does the reaction rate change increase, decrease, does not change) if you: a) increase the concentration of sodium iodide twice b) use n-hexane as a solvent instead of acetone c) use 2-bromopropane as electrophile instead of bromoethane d) use two times higher volume of solvent (keeping the amount of both alkyl bromide and sodium iodide the same). In each case use one-two sentences to justify your answers CH3CH3Br + Nal acetone → CH2CH3...
In lab you will be performing experiments using Sodium (or Potassium) Iodide in Acetone to determine reactivity in SN1 reactions and Silver Nitrate in Ethanol to investigate SN2 reactions. How will you know if an alkyl halide is moderately reactive in either test?
