Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reason that the compound A undergoes solvolysis much faster than compound B is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which nucleophile attack at the electrophilic carbon center. These reactions depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the nucleophile. The SN2 reaction is a nucleophilic substitution bimolecular single step reaction in which the addition of nucleophile and removal of leaving group takes place simultaneously.

Neighboring group participation is the interaction of the lone pair electrons of an atom (hetero) or electron present in sigma and pi bond with the parent molecule to increase the speed of the reaction. It is also known as anchimeric assistance.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The account for the retention of stereochemistry observed in reaction A with a mechanism is to be stated.
