Question


Write the product you would expect from reaction of each of the following alkyl halides with (1)Na+-SCH3 and (2)Na+-OH  (green = Cl):

a) 


Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

a) The reaction of alkyl halide with Na+-SCH3 and Na+-OH, both yields  substitution products.

1S N 2 reaction

 SN2 reaction involves the nucleophilic attack by the hydroxide ion to the carbon of alkyl halide and results in carbanion intermediate formation. In the second step, the C-halogen bond breaks and results in alcohol as a product.

2The product expected when alkyl halide reacts with Na +- SCH 3 and Na +- OH


The reaction of alkyl halide with Na+-SCH3 and Na+-OH and, yields  substitution products. This is because the substrate present is primary, and both nucleophiles are strong.
