Chapter 27, Problem 23E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To find the product when ${\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2}}{\text{CHCH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{Br}$ reacts with ${\text{NaOCH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ in presence of ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH}$.

Concept introduction:

The reaction of primary halide and a base is a ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction. This reaction is an one step reaction in which one bonds breaks and on bond forms simultaneously. This reaction is substitution reaction.
