What happens when?
methyl Bromide is treated with sodium in the presence of dry ether.
Toluene reacts with bromide in the presence of light to give benzyl bromide, while in presence of FeBr3 it givesp-bromo toluene. Give explanation for the above observation.
Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of SN1 , respectively.
ClCH2=CHCH2CH3, CH3(Cl)=CHCH2CH3, CH3 = CHCH2 CH2Cl, CH3CH = CH. CHCl CH3
CH3CH = CHCH2CH2Cl < CH3CH = CH.CH(Cl)CH3 ClCH2CH = CH.CH2CH3 < CH3C(Cl) = CHCH2CH3< CH3CH = CH.CH(Cl)CH3< CH3CH = CH CH2CH2Cl.
This is due to the stability of carbonium intermediate.
Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of SN1 , respectively.
CH3CH2Br, CH2 = CHCH(Br)CH3, CH3CH(Br) CH3
