Chapter 7, Problem 34P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The synthesis of $\left(\text{R}\right){\text{-CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CHN}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ should be proposed in which starting material is (R)-2-chlorobutane.

Concept Introduction:

The chemical reaction in which one functional group is substituted by another functional group is known as substitution reaction.

The chemical reaction in which displacement of leaving group occurs by a nucleophile is known as nucleophilic substitution reaction.

The reaction between nucleophile (electron pair donor) and electrophile (electron pair acceptor) is known as nucleophilic substitution reaction. It is classified as S_N1 and S_N2 reaction.
