Draw the organic product of the following nucleophilic substitution reaction. Include the appropriate hydrogen atoms in your structural formula CH,CH,CH,Br + CH3CH,S →

Answer 1

Concepts and reason

The concept used to solve this problem is ${{\rm{S}}_{\rm{N}}}{\rm{2}}$ . The substrate is a primary alkyl halide and the nucleophile is a strong base.

In ${{\rm{S}}_{\rm{N}}}{\rm{2}}$ , the attack of nucleophile takes place from the back side, so inversion of configuration takes place in the product.

Fundamentals

${{\rm{S}}_{\rm{N}}}{\rm{2}}$ reaction is a single step reaction. The rate of the reaction depends on both concentration of substrate and concentration of nucleophile.

The structures of reactant and the reagent is as follows:

The reaction is as follows:

Ans:

The organic product is,
