Question
Chapter 3, Problem 27EQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The bond making and breaking in the given species is to be represented.
Concept Introduction:
Molecules also show a simultaneous bond making and breaking. This can be illustrated nicely in the familiar SN2 reaction. A negatively charged nucleophile approaches a carbon atom having a leaving group in a direction anti to the leaving group. The pushable electrons are possessed by the nucleophile and the receptor is the carbon atom. The products are a compound having a C-Nu bond and the anion of the leaving group. Thus, Nu has been substituted for L.
But Carbon need not always be the center of this type of reaction. The removal of an acidic proton from an organic compound by a base is a common occurrence.
