Interpretation:
A resonance explanation for the ability of halides of the type
Concept introduction:
The rules for drawing resonance structures are as follows:
Only nonbonding electron pairs and pi electrons can participate in conjugation in the formation of various resonating structures.
The single bonds present in the molecule do not break or form in the resonance structures.
The placement of atoms present in the molecule remains fixed.
The octet of all atoms is completely filled.
The resonance effect is the withdrawal or release of electrons through delocalization of
Inductive effect is the electronic effect that arises due to electronegativity difference between the atoms at either end of the bonds.
Primary
Electron withdrawing groups attract electron density toward itself and draw electrons away from the reaction centre.
Electron donating group donate electron density or releases electrons into the reaction centre.
Alkyl group is an electron donating group.

What's the structure of DEET?arrow_forward
- Please don't provide handwritten solution .... What is the major product of the following?arrow_forwardCompound X, shown below, spontaneously reacts via an intramolecular SN2 to produce intermediate Y, known as an "aziridinium" ion. In the presence of water, intermediate Y reacts further to form product Z. What is the identity of product Z. OH (A) + En Br O (B) aziridinium ion Y OH (C) H₂O + En Z HOarrow_forwardNonearrow_forward
- What are the reagents of the following reactions?arrow_forwardThe following reaction can produce two products. The first of thes contains ONE double bond. What is the structure of this material?arrow_forward17. Primary halides of the type ROCH₂X apparently undergo SN1-type reactions, whereas most primary halides do not. Can you propose a resonance explanation for the ability of halides of the type ROCH₂X to undergo SN1 reactions?arrow_forward
