Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mechanism using the curved-arrow notation should be written for the below reaction to get the major organic product.

  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 6, Problem 39P , additional homework tip  1

Concept introduction: SN2 reactions are facile when the leaving group is good, nucleophile is sufficiently reactive and alkyl halide is a primary alkyl halide.

Leaving-group ability is determined by the capacity of leaving group to accommodate the negative charge as it is displaced from the alkyl halide. Among halogens, the iodides are best-leaving groups followed by bromide chloride and fluoride. Besides halides, some sulphonates and sulphate that can easily delocalize the negative charge can also behave as good leaving group. These include tosylate, mesylate and triflate.

In general, the weak conjugate bases that are derived from strong acids are also good leaving groups. The table for leaving groups on the basis of strength of bases is as follows:

Please help answer number 2. Thanks in advance.
How do I explain this? Thank you!
When an unknown amine reacts with an unknown acid chloride, an amide with a molecular mass of 163 g/mol (M* = 163 m/z) is formed. In the infrared spectrum, important absorptions appear at 1661, 750 and 690 cm. The 13C NMR and DEPT spectra are provided. Draw the structure of the product as the resonance contributor lacking any formal charges. 13C NMR DEPT 90 200 160 120 80 40 0 200 160 120 80 40 0 DEPT 135 T 200 160 120 80 40 0 Draw the unknown amide.
