Chapter 7, Problem 62P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: A stepwise mechanism of the given reaction is to be drawn and an explanation corresponding to the statement that $1$-bromohex-$2$-ene reacts rapidly with a weak nucleophile $\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{OH}\right)$ under ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{1}$ reaction conditions, even though it is a $1°$ alkyl halide, is to be stated.

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 electron rich chemical species that contains negative charge or lone pair of electrons are known as a nucleophile. In a nucleophilic substitution reaction, nucleophile takes the position of leaving group by attacking the electron deficient carbon atom.
