Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Suitable nucleophile and alkyl iodide must be identified for the preparation of butan-1-ol.
Concept Introduction :
The SN2 substitution can be used to prepare primary alcohols from primary
(b)
Interpretation:
Suitable combination of alkyl iodide and nucleophile must be identified for the preparation of butyl ethanoate.
Concept Introduction :
The SN2 reaction can be used for for the preparation of ester using sodium salt of
(c)
Interpretation:
The suitable combination of iodoalkane and nucleophile must be identified for the given cyano compound.
Concept Introduction :
The SN2 reaction is characterized by inversion of configuration which is caused due to backside attack of the nucleophile.
(d)
Interpretation:
For the given thiol, proper iodoalkane and nucleophile must be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The SN2 reaction is associated with inversion of configuration. Proper stereochemistry of starting material must be chosen to get the desired stereochemistry of product after inversion of configuration.

- Fill in the missing reagents a-e in the following scheme:arrow_forwardThe Reformatsky reaction is an addition reaction in which an organozinc reagent is used instead of a Grignard reagent to add to the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or a ketone. Because the organozinc reagent is less reactive than a Grignard reagent, a nucleophilic addition to the ester group does not occur. The organozinc reagent is prepared by treating an a-bromo ester with zinc. +ZnBr ОН CH;CH CH,CH,CHCH .C OCH3 CH;CH,CHCH .C OCH3 OCH3 Но CH3CH CH3 ZnBr organozinc reagent ČH3 B-hydroxy ester Describe how each of the following compounds can be prepared, using a Reformatsky reaction: ОН ОН ОН C.
