Chapter 6, Problem 31P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three-dimensional representation for the transition state structure in the SN2 reaction of cyanide anion with bromoethane is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The SN2 reaction is the nucleophilic substitution reaction in which two components are involved in the rate determining step.

The reaction of SN2 is favored in the polar aprotic solvent.

The polar aprotic solvents are acetone, HMPA, DMF, and DMSO.

Schlapbach and Hoffmann used a stereoelectronic effect to control the stereochemistry of the reaction below. Draw the structure of the transition states for competing reactions to explain the origin of stereoselectivity. lag X = CI, OR, N(Me)SO₂R R H + Me R OH Me X
Shown below is a carbocation intermediate in an electrophilic addition reaction of HCl with an alkene. For the conformation shown, select each hydrogen whose bond to carbon is aligned for effective hyperconjugation with the vacant p orbital on the positively charged carbon. Each adjacent carbon will have only one C-H bond so aligned. • Gray = C; white = H; red = 0; blue = N; dark green = Cl; brown =Br; light green =F; purple = I; yellow = S; orange = P. • Double click to select atoms. • You can zoom in and out using the mouse scroll wheel (or pinch to zoom on touch screens).
The nitroso group, −N=O, is one of the few nonhalogens that is an ortho- and para-directing deactivator. Explain this behaviour by drawing resonance structures of the carbocation intermediates in ortho, meta, and para electrophilic reaction onnitrosobenzene, C6H5−N=O.
