Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: If the given reaction is classified as a substitution reaction, an elimination reaction or neither and the leaving group in the given reaction and the nucleophile in the substitutions.
Interpretation: If the given reaction is classified as a substitution reaction, an elimination reaction or neither is to be predicted. The leaving group in the given reaction and the nucleophile in the substitutions are to be identified.
Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one
The eviction of the substituents from a chemical reaction in one or more steps is termed as elimination reaction.
If a chemical substance gives its electron pair to an electrophile (electron deficient species) to form a
A group that exits with a pair of electrons due to heterolytic bond cleavage is termed as leaving group. Mostly anions and neutral atoms come under the category of leaving group.
(b)
To determine: If the given reaction is classified as a substitution reaction, an elimination reaction or neither and the leaving group in the given reaction and the nucleophile in the substitutions.
Interpretation: If the given reaction is classified as a substitution reaction, an elimination reaction or neither is to be predicted. The leaving group in the given reaction and the nucleophile in the substitutions are to be identified.
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 eviction of the substituents from a chemical reaction in one or more steps is termed as elimination reaction.
If a chemical substance gives its electron pair to an electrophlie (electron deficient species) to form a chemical bond, then it is termed as a nucleophile.
A group that exits with a pair of electrons due to heterolytic bond cleavage is termed as leaving group. Mostly anions and neutral atoms come under the category of leaving group.

- When Nucleophilic addition occurs ?arrow_forwardLabel the alkene in each attached drug as E or Z. Enclomiphene is one component of the fertility drug Clomid. Tamoxifen is an anticancer drug. Clavulanic acid is sold in combination with the antibiotic amoxicillin under the trade name Augmentinarrow_forwardExplain why quinuclidine is a much more reactive nucleophile than triethylamine, even though both compounds have N atoms surrounded by three R groups.arrow_forward
- Define the General Features of Nucleophilic Substitution ?arrow_forwardWhy is it not advisable to use aqueous hydrochloric acid in a Grignard reaction of a ketone? A) The Grignard reagent will react with the acid and cannot react with the ketone. B) The ketone will be protonated and will become unreactive. C) The ketone will form an unreactive enol. D) The Grignard reagent won't dissolve in aqueous solutionsarrow_forward"Nucleophilic substitution reaction"" When does the bond between the leaving group and C break? Does it break at the same time that the new bond between the nucleophile and C forms? Or Does the bond to the leaving group break first.arrow_forward
- Classify each transformation as substitution, elimination, or addition. но он OH a. b.arrow_forwardDraw a stepwise mechanism for the following substitution. Explain why 2-chloropyridine reacts faster than chlorobenzene in this type of reaction.arrow_forwardBy taking into account electronegativity differences, draw the products formed by heterolysis of the carbon–heteroatom bond in each molecule. Classify the organic reactive intermediate as a carbocation or a carbanion.arrow_forward
