Choose all of the following reaction mechanisms that are possible from the reaction between ethyl bromine and the cyanide ion. O The lone pair on the carbon atom in the cyanide ion attacks the carbon adjacent to bromine and the bromine acts as the leaving group. V The electrons of the triple bond in the cyanide ion attack the carbon adjacent to bromine and a methyl group acts as the leaving group. V The lone pair on the nitrogen atom in the cyanide ion attacks the carbon adjacent to bromine and the bromine acts as the leaving group. O The electrons of the double bond in the cyanide ion attack the carbon adjacent to bromine and a methyl group acts as the leaving group. V The electrons of the double bond in the cyanide ion attack the carbon adjacent to bromine and the bromine acts as the leaving group. O The lone pair on the nitrogen atom in the cyanide ion attacks the carbon not adjacent to bromine and the bromine acts as the leaving group. V The lone pair on the carbon atom in the cyanide ion attacks the carbon not adjacent to bromine and the bromine acts as the leaving group.
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.
