प्रश्न
Arrange the compounds of the following set in order of reactivity towards SN2 displacement:
1-Bromo-3-methylbutane, 2-Bromo-2-methylbutane, 2-Bromo-3-methylbutane
उत्तर
The SN2 reaction involves the formation of a transition state with the carbon atom surrounded by 5 additional atoms (groups). A transition state requires minimum steric interactions. The most suitable substrates for SN2 reactions are 1° alkyl halides, followed by 2° and 3° alkyl halides. The order of reactivity towards SN2 is 1° > 2° > 3°> aryl halide. Based on this, the order will be
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{CH3}\phantom{...............................}\ce{CH3}\phantom{.................}\ce{CH3}\phantom{.....}\\
\phantom{.....}|\phantom{...................................}|\phantom{....................}|\phantom{............}\\
\ce{\underset{1-Bromo-3-methylbutane}{H3C - CH - CH2 - CH2Br} > \ce{CH3 - CH - CH - CH3} > \ce{CH3 - C - CH2 - CH3}}\\
\phantom{.......................}|\phantom{..........................}|\\
\phantom{.........................}\ce{\underset{2-Bromo-3-methylbutane}{Br}\phantom{.........}\ce{\underset{2-Bromo-2-methylbutane}{Br}}}\
\end{array}\]

The following questions are case-based questions. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
|
Nucleophilic Substitution: Influences of solvent polarity: The reaction rate (SN2) of 2-bromopropane and NaOH in ethanol containing 40% water is twice slower than in absolute ethanol. Hence the level of solvent polarity has an influence on both SN1 and SN2 reactions but with different results. Generally speaking, a weak polar solvent is favourable for SN2 reaction, while a strong polar solvent is favourable for SN1. Generally speaking, the substitution reaction of tertiary haloalkane is based on SN1 mechanism in solvents with a strong polarity (for example ethanol containing water). |

(a) Why racemisation occurs in SN1? (1)
(b) Why is ethanol less polar than water? (1)
