Chapter 8.2, Problem 9P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Which one is a better nucleophiles has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Nucleophilicity is a measure of how readily a compound is able to attack an electron-deficient atom.

SN2Reaction: It is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which the rate determining step depends on both of the molecules involved.  The bond making and the bond breaking process happens simultaneously in this reaction.  A general SN2 reaction mechanism is given as,

Essential Organic Chemistry (3rd Edition), Chapter 8.2, Problem 9P

Structure of the substrate plays major role in the reactivity of SN2 reaction.  If the substrate is more substituted then the rate of the reaction will becomes slower.  Since the mechanism of SN2 reaction proceeds through backside attack on the substrate, it depends on steric factor that if more groups attached near the leaving group the reactivity becomes slower.  The SN2 reactivity increases in molecule with better leaving group.
