For the reaction shown below. The mechanism of this reaction is A. Sn1 or B. Sn2

Question

For the reaction shown below. The mechanism of this reaction is A. Sn1 or B. Sn2? What will happen to the reaction rate if I triple the concentration of the nucleophile ? (1 X, 2X, 3X, 4X) What will happen lo the reaction rate if I triple the concentration of the alkyl halide? (1X, 2X, 3X, 4X) The configuration of the product will be A. The same as the starting material B. Inverted C. Racemized Which of the alkyl halides below may react through an S_n1 mechanism? (enter all that apply) Which of the alkyl halides below may react through an E2 mechanism? (enter all that apply)

Explanation / Answer

1) The mechanism is SN1 because of formation of more stable carbocation

2) Concentraton of nucleophile has no effect on rate of SN1 reaction so the rate wil be 1X

3) The rate becomes 3X as SN1 reaction depends on concentration of alkyl haliddde

4) Racemized

5) A, C, D they react by SN1 mechanism due to formation of more stable carbocation

6) E2 mechanism B and E
