Chapter 11: 45cE (page 350)

How might you prepare each of the following molecules using a nucleophilic substitution reaction at some step?

c.CH3CH2CH2CH2CN

Short Answer

Expert verified

CH3CH2CH2CH2Br + NaCN → CH3CH2CH2CH2CN + NaBr

Step by step solution

01

SN2 reaction

Nucleophilic substitution reaction in which old bonds are broken, and new bonds are formed simultaneously. Therefore, the response takes place in a single step.

The two reacting species are involved in the rate determining steps.

02

Formation of CH3CH2CH2CH2CN

Here, nucleophilic substitution occurs where NaBr is produced and the desired product is formed.

The two reacting species are involved in the rate determining steps.

CH3CH2CH2CH2Br + NaCN → CH3CH2CH2CH2CN + NaBr

Substitution reaction
