Interpretation:
To rank the given organic halides in order of increasing SN2 reactivity.
Concept introduction:
SN2 reaction is a special type of reaction mechanism in organic chemistry. It is kind of nucleophilic substitution reaction. Nucleophilic substitutions are Lewis acid-base reactions. In this reaction the nucleophile donates its electron pair, the alkyl halide (Lewis acid) accepts it, and the C-X bond is heterolytically cleaved. Alkyl halides are organic molecules that contains a halogen atom X bonded to sp3 hybridized carbon atom. Alkyl halides are classified as primary (1°), secondary (2°), and tertiary (3°) depending on the number of carbons bonded to the carbon with the halogen.

- Rank the molecules in decreasing (strongest to weakest) acidity. Include resonance structures if necessary and explain reasoning for rank.arrow_forwardFour isomers A-D with the formula C5H12O exhibit different reactivity patterns as indicated below. Isomer A reacts with PCC and CrO3 to provide identical products. Isomer B reacts with PCC and CrO3 to provide different products. Isomers C and D do not react with either PCC or CrO3. Isomers A, B, and C readily react with NaH but D does not show any reactivity with NaH. The 1H NMR splitting patterns for these isomers are as follows. Isomer A: δ 0.91 (d, 3H), 0.90 (d, 3H), 1.18 (d, 3H), 1.92 (dqq, 1H), 3.38 (dq, 1H), 3.58 (bs, 1H). Isomer B: δ 1.25 (s, 9H), 3.45 (s, 2H), 3.65 (bs, 1H). Isomer C: δ 0.90 (t, 3H), 1.44 (q, 2H), 1.24 (s, 6H), 3.65 (bs, 1H). Isomer D: δ 1.10 (t, 3H), 1.13 (d, 6H), 3.19 (septet, 1H), 3.50 (q, 2H). Based on all of this information, provide the structures of A-D. (Note: If there is a chiral center on any of these molecules, assume the stereochemistry as “R”. dqq=doublet of a quartet of a quartet, bs=broad singlet)arrow_forwardWhat is the structural requirement for a substance to react with ammoniacal AgNO3? Why would acetylene react with Tollen's reagent but not cyclohexane or cyclohexene?arrow_forward
- Rank the following compounds in order of increasing acidity (Please explain; currently in Ochem 2)arrow_forwardEnanthotoxin is an extremely poisonous organic compound found in hemlock water drop- wart, which is reputed to be the most poisonous plant in England. It is believed that no British plant has been responsible for more fatal accidents. The most poisonous part of the plant is the roots, which resemble small white carrots, giving the plant the name"five finger death."Also poisonous are its leaves, which look like parsley. Enanthotoxin is thought to interfere with the Nat current in nerve cells, which leads to convulsions and death. он How many stereoisomers are possible for enanthotoxin?arrow_forwardA bicyclic heterocycle aromatic ring with one N atom and the rings are of different size. a Indole b Pyrazine c Purine d Quinolinearrow_forward
