15. Polar protic solvents favor substitution because A) the SN2 mechanism they are weakly slovationg and the nucleophile is able to react rapidly. B) they strongly solvate the nucleophile lowering activation energy for formation of the transition state in the SN2 mechanism. C) they weakly solvate the leaving group allowing rapid loss of the halide according to the Hammond postulate. D) they strongly solvate the leaving group stabilizing the transition state for SN1 reactions according to the Hammond postulate.
please help me with both parts of this question, I am very confused and am trying to study
Which compound is more reactive in an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction?
In electrophilic aromatic substitution, a group attached to the aromatic ring does not affect ring reactivity. Is that true or false?
please explain the mechanism of ring opening of an epoxide by reaction with nucleophile under acidic conditions
The conjugate base of diethyl malonate can serve as a nucleophile to attack a wide range of electrophiles. Identify the product that is formed when the conjugate base of diethyl malonate reacts with the following electrophile followed by acid workup when relevant: CN Modify the provided structures of diethyl malonate and the given electrophile to draw the product formed. Note: the eraser tool can be used to erase bonds, and atoms can be moved by selecting them with the selector tool and then dragging the selected atom(s) to a new position. If you make a mistake, you can use Ctrl-Z or the Undo tool. EtO H3C CN Edit Drawing OEt
