What products would you expect from the reaction of 1-bromopropane with each of the following?
(a) NaNH2
(b) KOC(CH3)3
(c) NaI
(d) NaCN
(e) NaC≡CH
(f) Mg, then H2O

a)
Interpretation:
The product has to be identified when 1-bromopropane reacts with the given reagents.
Concept introduction:
SN1 reaction:
The alcohol is reaction with acids like hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid which yield the corresponding carbocation intermediate, this carbocation intermediate undergoes substitution reaction which yields the corresponding substitution product.
Tertiary alcohols undergo substitution very fast than the secondary alcohols because tertiary carbocation is more stable than the secondary carbocation than the primary carbocation.
Primary alcohol is less stable therefore it won’t undergo SN1 substitution reaction.
SN2 reaction:
The alcohol is reaction with acids like hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid, the bromine atom attacks back side of the carbon atoms in simultaneous manner and which is bearing alcohol group which yield the corresponding product.
Elimination reaction: An elimination reaction is removal of two substituents in a molecule and forms alkene. An elimination reaction is one or two-step process which based on the mechanism when two substituents removed from the molecule in single step is called E2 reaction. When two substituents are removed from the molecule in two steps is called E1 reaction.
The Grignard reaction:
Alkyl, vinyl, or aryl-magnesium halides (RMgX) is called as Grignard reagent.
