Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An explanation for the increased rates of nucleophilic substitution reaction of dipropyl sulfide by the ethanethiol when the thiol group is ionized by a base is to be stated. A mechanism that is consistent with the observation is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which a nucleophile attacks at the electrophilic centre. These rate of reaction depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the nucleophile.

The SN2 reaction is a nucleophilic substitution bimolecular reaction in which the addition of nucleophile and elimination of a leaving group takes place simultaneously. The rate of reaction depends upon both the substrate and reactant in the rate law equation.
