Concept explainers

Catalysis and Enzymatic Reactions

Catalysis is the kind of chemical reaction in which the rate (speed) of a reaction is enhanced by the catalyst which is not consumed during the process of reaction and afterward it is removed when the catalyst is not used to make up the impurity in the product. The enzymatic reaction is the reaction that is catalyzed via enzymes.

Lock And Key Model

The lock-and-key model is used to describe the catalytic enzyme activity, based on the interaction between enzyme and substrate. This model considers the lock as an enzyme and the key as a substrate to explain this model. The concept of how a unique distinct key only can have the access to open a particular lock resembles how the specific substrate can only fit into the particular active site of the enzyme. This is significant in understanding the intermolecular interaction between proteins and plays a vital role in drug interaction.

Question

**Title: Understanding Reaction Pathways and Products**

**Introduction:**
In organic chemistry, understanding the pathways and products of a reaction is crucial. Different conditions and reactants can lead to various products through different mechanisms such as S_N1, S_N2, E1, or E2. Below, we analyze a reaction involving a halide and a base, illustrating how to determine the reaction products and pathways.

**Reaction Description:**
* **Reactant:**
- A brominated alkane is depicted in the reactants. The structure includes a carbon chain with a bromine atom (Br) attached to one of the central carbons, and a hydrogen (H) on the adjacent carbon.

* **Reagents:**
- Sodium ethoxide (ONa) is provided as a strong base.
- Ethanol (OH) is also given, potentially as a solvent or a weaker nucleophile/base.

**Diagram:**
The reaction schematic consists of:
1. A 2D structural representation of the starting brominated alkane.
2. Sodium ethoxide (ONa) is shown as an arrow indicating it will interact with the starting material.
3. An ethanol molecule (CH3CH2OH) is shown beneath, likely to indicate the solvent or an alternative reactant.

**Instructions:**
Students are asked to:
- Draw the products of the reaction given the reactants.
- Indicate the major product if more than one product forms.
- Identify whether the reaction proceeds through S_N1, S_N2, E1, or E2 mechanisms.

**Potential Pathways and Products:**
1. **S_N1 and S_N2 Pathways:**
- **S_N1 Mechanism:** Typically involves a two-step process with carbocation formation. Given the strong base (ONa), S_N1 is less likely.
- **S_N2 Mechanism:** Involves a one-step process where the nucleophile attacks the electrophilic carbon directly, displacing the leaving group (Br). This could be plausible with sodium ethoxide (a strong nucleophile).

2. **E1 and E2 Pathways:**
- **E1 Mechanism:** Typically involves a two-step process similar to S_N1, where a carbocation intermediate is formed. Not favored with strong bases.
- **E2 Mechanism:** Involves a one-step elimination where the base removes a proton (H) and a leaving group (
