Question

3. Which reaction mechanism can be represented by the fllowing energy diagram? A An S 2 reaction only. B An Swl or an SN2 reaction. C An El or an E2 reaction. D An Ssl or an El reaction. E An SN2 or an E2 reaction. Energy Reactants Products Reaction Progress 4. What is the IUPAC name for CHCH(CH)CH CH:OH? A 2-methyl-4-butanol B 2-methyl-4-hydroxybutanol C 3-methyl-2-butanol D 1-hydroxy-3-methylbutanol E 3-methyl-1-butanol 5. Which of the following alkyl halides is best suited for an Sx2 reaction? Br Br 3

Explanation / Answer

Ans 3 : E) An SN2 or an E2 reaction

The energy level diagram shows only one high energy transition state which suggests of the mechanism to be SN2 or E2 as it is a one step reaction only.

SN2 is bimolecular substitution nucleophilic reaction and E2 is an elimination reaction.
