Chapter 11, Problem 11.62P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason corresponding to the formation of compound X from the given reactant instead of its constitutional isomer, Y is to be stated.

Concept Introduction: The isomers which have same molecular formula but different connectivity of atoms are constitutional isomers.

The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction. The nucleophilic reaction that consists of bimolecular as well as bond-making and bond-breaking steps is termed as ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reactions. This is a one-step reaction in which both nucleophile and substrate participate in the rate determining step.
