Chapter 5, Problem 5.37AP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of both the reactive intermediate and the product in the given reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction. The nucleophilic reaction that consists of bimolecular as well as bond-making and bond-breaking steps is termed as ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reactions. This is a one-step reaction in which both nucleophile and substrate participate in the rate determining step.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of both the reactive intermediate and the product in the given reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The reaction of hydrogen halide with alkene results in the formation of alkyl halide. This type of reaction is an electrophilic addition of hydrogen halide. Electrophilic addition reactions are those in which breaking of pi bond take place to form new sigma bond.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of both the reactive intermediate and the product in the given reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The oxymercuration reaction is an electrophilic addition reaction that converts an alkene into an alcohol and an alkyne into a ketone. The reagents required for this reaction are $\left[1\right]\text{Hg}{\left(\text{OAc}\right)}_2;\left[2\right]{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O,}{\text{Et}}_2\text{O}\text{or}\text{THF}$.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The structure of both the reactive intermediate and the product in the given reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The reaction of hydrogen halide with alkene results in the formation of alkyl halide. This type of reaction is an electrophilic addition of hydrogen halide. Electrophilic addition reactions are those in which breaking of pi bond take place to form new sigma bond.
