Chapter 7, Problem 25P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The major organic product of the given solvolysis reaction should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The reaction in which one group is replaced by other group is termed as substitution reaction. The solvolysis reaction is basically a substitution reaction. The solvent molecule acts as a nucleophile in solvolysis reaction. The nucleophiles are electron-rich species.

Answer to Problem 25P

The major organic product of the given solvolysis reaction is shown below.

  

Explanation of Solution

The given reaction is an example of solvolysis reaction. In the solvolysis reaction, the solvent molecule acts as a nucleophile. In the given reaction, the ethyl alcohol $\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH}\right)$ acts as nucleophile. The lone pair present on oxygen atom of ethyl alcohol attacks the carbon attached with bromine atom and replaces the bromine atom to form 2-ethoxy-2-methyl propane (ether) as the major substitution product. The product of the reaction is shown below.
