Chapter 7, Problem 7.65P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To rank the given organic halides in order of increasing SN1 reactivity.

Concept introduction:

SN1 reaction is a unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. It is a first-order kinetics and a two-step mechanism in which bond breaking occurs before bond making. The mechanism has two steps. Carbocations are formed as reactive intermediates. The Heterolysis of the C - Br bond forms an intermediate carbocation. This is the rate-determining step because it involves only bond cleavage. The nucleophilic attack the carbocation forms the new bond in the product.

Do you expect the following reaction to occur? Why?
Four 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)
Consider a hypothetical chemical reaction between compound A and compound B, which produces compound C as the final product. The reaction is known to be exothermic and spontaneous. However, when the reaction is carried out under certain conditions, it fails to occur. Explain this observation and propose a potential solution to overcome this hurdle.
