Chapter 13, Problem 31PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: For the given reaction the mechanism to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Catalyst: A role of a catalyst is to speed up the reaction but not consumed by the reaction.

${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}\text{}$: Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction is favored by;

1. I. Primary carbon (electrophilic center)
2. II. Good nucleophile (negatively charged anion or atom having lone pair of electrons).
3. III. Good Leaving group (positively charged species or high polarizability atom)

To identify: For the given reaction the mechanism to be identified.
