7. Consider the following alkyl bromide compounds as substrates for a SN2 reaction. Y Br X Bra Which of the following statements best summarize the observed results of the reaction? (There may be more than one correct response, choose all that apply) (A) X will react faster than Y via an SN2 reaction (B) Y will react faster than X via an SN2 reaction (C) Both X and Y will react at approximately the same rate via an SN2 reaction (D) The major SN2 products of both X and Y will be optically active (E) Only one of the alkyl bromides will give an optically active major SN2 product (F) The concentration of the nucleophile will affect the reaction rate (G) The concentration of the nucleophile will not affect the reaction rate (H) Ethanol would be an ideal solvent for the reaction (I) Dimethylsulfoxide would be an ideal solvent for the reaction
Reactions of Alkyl and Aryl halides
In organic chemistry, an alkyl halide is formed when an atom of hydrogen is switched by a halogen in a hydrocarbon or aliphatic compound. An aryl halide is formed when an atom of hydrogen is substituted by a halogen atom in an aromatic compound. Metals react with aryl halides and alkyl halides and they also go through nucleophilic substitution reactions and elimination reactions.
Zaitsev's Rule in Organic Chemistry
Alexander Zaitsev (also pronounced as Saytzeff), in 1875, prepared a rule to help predict the result of elimination reactions which stated, "The favored product in dehydrohalogenation reactions is that alkene that has the majority of alkyl groups attached to the double-bonded carbon atoms."
Tosylate
Tosylates are important functional groups in organic chemistry, mainly because of two important properties which they possess:
Alkyl Halides
A functional group is a collection of several atoms or bonds with certain characteristic chemical properties and reactions associated with it. There is a presence of a halogen atom (F, Cl, Br, or I; it represents any halogen atom), as a functional group in alkyl halides. Therefore, it can be said that alkanes that contain a halogen compound are called alkyl halides.
