Chapter 9, Problem 9.23P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The nucleophile or base and the solvent that is used for converting isobutyl bromide into ${\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2}}{\text{CHCH}}_{\text{2}}\stackrel{+}{\text{S}}{\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2}}{\text{ Br}}^{-}$ are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which one nucleophile is substituted by another nucleophile. These reactions depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the incoming nucleophile.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The nucleophile or base and the solvent that is used for converting isobutyl bromide into ${\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2}}{\text{CHCH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SCH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which one nucleophile is substituted by another nucleophile. These reactions depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the incoming nucleophile.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The nucleophile or base and the solvent that is used for converting isobutyl bromide into ${\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2}}\text{C}={\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}$ are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

An elimination reaction is a reaction which involves the removal or elimination of two substituents from a molecule. The term E2 stands for the bimolecular elimination reaction. The E2 reaction involves a single step mechanism, which is also known as concerted mechanism.
