Question

Draw the products of each reaction.

Short answer

The additionelimination process substitutes nucleophiles by stabilizing the carbanion. The nucleophile is added to the substrate, and then the leaving group is eliminated.

Step-by-step solution

Addition elimination reaction

The additionelimination process substitutes nucleophiles by stabilizing the carbanion. The nucleophile is added to the substrate, and then the leaving group is eliminated.

Reactivity of the compound

The reactivity of the substrate increases in the presence of an electron-withdrawing group and a highly electronegative atom.

Explanation

a. The substrate has two nitro groups, so the methoxy group quickly attacks the carbon at the C-Cl bond.

b. The substrate has the most electronegative group. Therefore, the hydroxide group quickly attacks the carbon at the C-F bond.
