Question

Transcribed Image Text:The image contains two sets of chemical reactions, each with two examples, involving nucleophilic substitution.
**First Set:**
1. **Reaction 1:**
- Reactant: Cyclopentyl methyl sulfonate
- Reagent: Bromide ion (\( \text{Br}^- \)) in ethanol (\(\text{EtOH}\))
- Products: Cyclopentyl bromide and methyl sulfate
2. **Reaction 2:**
- Reactant: Cyclopentyl methyl sulfonate
- Reagent: Bromide ion (\( \text{Br}^- \)) in dimethylformamide (\(\text{DMF}\))
- Products: Cyclopentyl bromide and methyl sulfate
**Second Set:**
1. **Reaction 1:**
- Reactant: Butyl tosylate
- Reagent: Methylamine (\(\text{CH}_3\text{NH}_2\)) in dimethyl sulfoxide (\(\text{DMSO}\))
- Products: Butyl methylammonium tosylate
2. **Reaction 2:**
- Reactant: Butyl fluoride
- Reagent: Methylamine (\(\text{CH}_3\text{NH}_2\)) in dimethyl sulfoxide (\(\text{DMSO}\))
- Products: Butyl methylammonium fluoride
These reactions show the substitution process where a sulfonate or halide group is replaced by a nucleophilic amine or bromide ion, respectively.

Transcribed Image Text:### Substitution Reactions
Below are two examples of nucleophilic substitution reactions, commonly encountered in organic chemistry.
#### Reaction 1:
- **Substrate:** Cyclohexyl iodide
- **Nucleophile:** \( \text{Cl}^- \) (chloride ion)
- **Solvent:** Methanol (MeOH)
- **Product:** Cyclohexyl chloride
- **Byproduct:** \( \text{I}^- \) (iodide ion)
**Description:** In this reaction, the iodide ion attached to the cyclohexane ring is replaced by a chloride ion, resulting in the formation of cyclohexyl chloride. The solvent, methanol, acts as a medium for the reaction without participating in the chemical transformation itself.
#### Reaction 2:
- **Substrate:** Cyclohexyl iodide
- **Nucleophile:** \( \text{CN}^- \) (cyanide ion)
- **Solvent:** Methanol (MeOH)
- **Product:** Cyclohexyl cyanide
- **Byproduct:** \( \text{I}^- \) (iodide ion)
**Description:** Similar to Reaction 1, this involves the substitution of the iodide ion on the cyclohexane ring with a cyanide ion, producing cyclohexyl cyanide. Methanol serves as the solvent.
These reactions illustrate the process of a nucleophilic substitution where a nucleophile replaces a leaving group (iodide ion) in an organic compound.
