Question

What product would you expect from ${\mathbf{S}}_{\mathbf{N}}\mathbf{2}$reaction of 1-bromobutane with each of the following?

(a)NaI (b) KOH (c)$\mathbf{H}\mathbf{—}\mathbf{C}\equiv \mathbf{C}\mathbf{—}\mathbf{Li}$(d)${\mathbf{NH}}_{\mathbf{3}}$

Short answer

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Step-by-step solution

Nucleophilic bimolecular substitution SN2 reaction

The reaction is a nucleophilic substitution reaction where bond is broken and another is formed simultaneously. Two reacting species are involved in the rate determining step of the reaction. The term stands for substitution nucleophilic bimolecular.

${\mathrm{S}}_{\mathrm{N}}2$Reaction

Determine the product of the SN2 reaction of 1-bromobutane with each of the following

(a) NaI with 1-bromobutane

(b) KOH with 1-bromobutane

(c) $\mathrm{H}—\mathrm{C}\equiv \mathrm{C}—\mathrm{Li}$with 1-bromobutane

(d) ${\mathrm{NH}}_3$with 1-bromobutane
