Q1
In nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions that proceed by the nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism, the reaction rate increases as the electronegativity of the halogen leaving group increases: Ar-I < Ar-Br < Ar-CI < Ar-F. Which step does this suggest is the rate-determining step of the mechanism-the addition step or the elimination step? Explain.
Nucleophilicity is a kinetic property. A higher nucleophilicity indicates that the nucleophile will easily donate its electrons to the electrophile and that the reaction will occur at the faster rate. The reaction rate also depends on the nature of the electrophile and solvent. Rank the following reactions from fastest to slowest based on the nucleophilicity of the nucleophile. Rank from fastest to slowest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
