Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Better nucleophile in methanol is to be identified from the given options.
Concept Introduction:
Stronger the base, better is the nucleophile.
If the attacking atoms are different in size and the reaction is carried out in a protic solvent, stronger the bases are poorer nucleophiles as ion-dipole interactions between the ions and the solvent.
(b)
Interpretation:
Better leaving group is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Weaker the basicity of the group better is the leaving propensity.
If the attacking atoms are different in size and the reaction is carried out in a protic solvent, stronger the bases are poorer nucleophiles as ion-dipole interactions between the ions and the solvent.
(c)
Interpretation:
Better leaving group is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Weaker the basicity of the group better is the leaving propensity.
If the attacking atoms are different in size and the reaction is carried out in a protic solvent, stronger the bases are poorer nucleophiles as ion-dipole interactions between the ions and the solvent.
(d)
Interpretation:
Better leaving group is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Weaker the basicity of the group better is the leaving propensity.
If the attacking atoms are different in size and the reaction is carried out in a protic solvent, stronger the bases are poorer nucleophiles as ion-dipole interactions between the ions and the solvent.
(e)

(f)
Interpretation:
Better leaving group is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:

- A mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results. Eliminate unnecessary peaks from Gas Chromatography results.arrow_forwardIs the molecule chiral, meso, or achiral? CI .CH3 H₂C CIarrow_forwardPLEASE HELP ! URGENT!arrow_forward
