Rank the following alkyl bromides from most reactive to least reactive in an SN2 reaction: 1-bromo-2-methylbutane, 1-bromo-3-methylbutane, 2-bromo-2-methylbutane, and 1-bromopentane.
Rank the following alkyl halides from most reactive to least reactive in an SN1 reaction:
2-bromo-2-methylpentane, 2-chloro-2-methylpentane, 3-chloropentane, and 2-iodo-2-methylpentane
Can you explain it? Provide examples with the various steps and explanations. How halogens affect the boiling/melting point? Does number of halogens affect it? For example, Ch3-Ch3 vs Ch3-Br vs Br-Ch3-Br

- can you please arrange 1 to 6 alkyl halids from most reactive to least reactive for SN1 and SN2 reaction which alkyl halides will be most reactive and least reactive in the SN2 and SN2 reaction reaction? 1-chlorobutane, 2-chlorobutane, Allyl chloride, 2-chloro-2-methylpropane, 1-chloro-2-methylpropane, 2-bromobutanearrow_forwardTwo substitution products result from the reaction between 3-chloro-3-methyl-1- butene with sodium acetate (CH3COO – Na +) in acetic acid under SN1. Identify the products.arrow_forwardAlcohols are important for organic synthesis, especially in situations involving alkenes. The alcohol might be the desired product, or the OH group might be transformed into another functional group via halogenation, oxidation, or perhaps conversion to a sulfonic ester derivative. Formation of an alcohol from an alkene is particularly powerful because conditions can be chosen to produce either the Markovnikov or non-Markovnikov product from an unsymmetrical alkene. Using your reaction roadmap as a guide, show how to convert 4-methyl-1-pentene into 5-methylhexanenitrile. You must use 4-methyl-1-pentene and sodium cyanide as the source of all carbon atoms in the target molecule. Show all reagents needed and all molecules synthesized along the way.arrow_forward
- Rank the compounds according to their increasing reactivity toward electrophilic substitution. 1. Benzaldehyde 2. o-dimethylbenzene 3. nitrobenzene 4. phenolarrow_forwardA benzene ring alters the reactivity of a neighboring group in the so-called “benzylic” position, similarly to how a double bond alters the reactivity of groups in the “allylic” position. Benzylic cations, anions, and radicals are all more stable than simple alkyl intermediates. a) Use resonance structures to show the delocalization of the positive charge, negative charge, and unpaired electron of the benzyl cation, anion, and radical.arrow_forwardFill the blank space. Compounds containing a phenol group may work as ANTIOXIDANTS to prevent free radical damage. This is accomplished when a free radical (or UV light) encounters a phenol group, turning the phenol group into a radical. However, contrary to typical radical behavior, the structure of the phenol radical can neutralize (or quench) the unpaired electron. Specifically, the phenol structure neutralizes (or quenches) the unpaired radical electron by doing the following: taking the electron and ---------. The correct name (or abbreviation) of an example compound containing a phenol group with antioxidant properties is: ---------.arrow_forward
