SN2 Reaction lodide ion is an effective nucleophile in S2 displacements. In acetone solution, other alkyl halides can be converted to alkyl iodides: CH;CH2 CH,CH3 I-C H;C H acetone X- Na I- H CH; Na X X Clor Br TR) Although you might expect such a reaction to be reversible, it can be made to proceed in the forward direction by using anhydrous acetone as the solvent because sodium iodide is soluble in this solvent, but sodium chloride and sodium bromide are not. We can detect whether a reaction has occurred by the formation of a precipitate of sodium chloride or bromide.

Peroxides are often added to free-radical reactions as initiators because the oxygen–oxygen bond cleaves homolytically rather easily. For example, the bond-dissociation enthalpy of the O¬O bond in hydrogen peroxide (H¬O¬O¬H) is only 213 kJ>mol (51 kcal>mol). Give a mechanism for the hydrogen peroxide-initiated reaction of cyclopentane with chlorine. The BDE for HO¬Cl is 210 kJ>mol (50 kcal>mol).
