Chapter 18, Problem 18.5YT
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The products of the reaction between HCN and HO are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The hydoxide ion is both a base and a nucleophile. It is quite strong as a base and deprotonates most acids, forming its conjugate acid, H2O.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The numerical factor by which the products side of the reaction between HCN and HO is favored is to be determined from the appropriate pKa values.

Concept introduction:

In an acid-base reaction, the side with weaker acid (and base) is favored. The pKa values of the two acids in the reaction can be used to determine the factor by which that side is favored. The factor is given by the difference between the pKa values, 10Δ(pKa).

The first step should be proton transfer. As I included in my work and the second step I think should be nucleophilic attack but I don't know how to continue on from there. Please but problem as a list of reactions
Given the general reaction coordinate diagram for an El reaction, what does the 1st transition state refer to? TS E TS, SM Reaction Coordinate An activated complex between the leaving group and carbocationic species. An activated complex between the nucleophile and carbocationic species. None of these O An activated complex between the base and carbocationic species.
In the protonated epoxide shown here, which C-0 bond would you expect to be longer? Why? ?
