Chapter 19, Problem 19.55SP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To propose: The mechanism for the given reaction.

Interpretation: The mechanism for the given reaction is to be proposed.

Concept introduction: The organic compounds which contain the functional groups containing a nitrogen atom with a lone pair of electrons are amines. Amines are the derivatives of ammonia. They have more than one hydrogen atoms. These hydrogen atoms can replace with an alkyl or aryl group. Amines can act as both bases and nucleophiles due to the unshared electron pair.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To describe: The reason that given reaction readily displaces fluoride as the leaving group.

Interpretation: The reason that given reaction readily displaces fluoride as the leaving group is to be described.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To describe: The reason that given reaction stops with the desired products, rather than reacting with another dinitrofluorobenzene.

Interpretation: The reason that given reaction stops with the desired products, rather than reacting with another dinitrofluorobenzene are to be predicted.
