Q 11-11-22 E
Question
From which alkyl bromide was the following alkyl acetate made SN2 by reaction? Write the reaction, showing all stereochemistry.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The inversion of configuration is observed and thus, produces R acetate.
1S N 2 reaction
A SN2 reaction is a bimolecular substitution and is a second-order reaction. The inversion of configuration occurs when alkyl bromide reacts with alkyl acetate, and this inversion takes place at the chirality center.
2The alkyl bromide from which alkyl acetate is made by S N 2 reaction
Using SN2 route, the reaction of secondary bromide with alkyl acetate (weakly basic) nucleophile occurs. The inversion of configuration is observed and thus, produces R acetate.
