**Exercise: Drawing Molecular Structures and Reaction Suitability****Task:** Draw 3 different molecules:1. **Molecule with a Primary Carbon Leaving Group**2. **Molecule with a Secondary Carbon Leaving Group**3. **Molecule with a Tertiary Carbon Leaving Group****Question:** Explain which one is best suited for the bimolecular substitution (SN2) reaction and why. ---**Explanation for Educational Context:**To determine which molecule is best suited for an SN2 reaction, consider the structure of the molecules:- **Primary Carbon Leaving Group:** Typically, SN2 reactions are most efficient with primary carbons. This is because there is less steric hindrance, allowing the nucleophile to attack more easily.- **Secondary Carbon Leaving Group:** SN2 reactions can occur, but are less favorable than with primary carbons due to increased steric hindrance.- **Tertiary Carbon Leaving Group:** SN2 reactions are least favorable with tertiary carbons because of significant steric hindrance. Tertiary carbons favor SN1 reactions instead.**Conclusion:** Molecules with primary carbon leaving groups are best suited for SN2 reactions due to minimal steric hindrance, allowing for a more efficient nucleophilic attack.

2) Draw 3 different molecules: 1. One with a primary carbon leaving group 2. One with a secondary carbon leaving group 3. One with a tertiary carbon leaving group Explain which one is best suited for the bimolecular substitution (SN2) reaction any why.

Q4. Alkyl halides are good at doing substitution (SN2/SN1) and elimination (E1/E2) reactions because the halide (X-) is a good LG. Alcohols on the other hand are not suitable for these reactions since hydroxide (¯OH) is a poor LG. However, an OH can be converted into a OTs (tosyl group) by reacting an alcohol with TsCl in presence of a base. An OTs is a good LG, and this allows us to indirectly (via OTs) use alcohols in substitution (SN2/SN1) and elimination (E1/E2) reactions.
