Question

Write the structure of the major organic product for the reaction of 1-bromopropane in the following reactions. The possible products are shown below: [answer by letter, no parenthesis]

In order to determine the major product, you need to know the dominant mechanism under the given conditions. Ask yourself the following:

1. What type of alkyl halide is reacting, e.g., 1o, 2o, 3o?

2. Is the nucleophile a strong or weak base?

     a. Recall that in general, the better the base, the better the nucleophile

3. What kind of mechanism predominates under the given conditions, e.g., SN1/E1, SN2, or E2

     a. Note that a strongly basic, unhindered nuc (like CHO-) favors SN2 while a strongly basic, hindered nuc (like (CH3)3CO-) favors E2.

4. What is the major product of the reaction? [answer by letter, no parenthesis]

a)

b)

Explanation / Answer

Question:-1

a) major product would be structure A

SN2 mechanism would be predominant in reaction of primary alkyl halides with strong nucleophile and base if it is unhindered.

b)major product would be structure D

SN2 mechanism would be predominant in reaction of primary alkyl halides with strong nucleophile and base if it is unhindered.

c)major product would be structure E

E2 mechanism would be predominant in reaction of primary alkyl halides with strong nucleophile and base if they are hindered. Regioselectivity would be Hoffman's.
