Problem 39P
Explain how the following changes would affect the rate of the reaction of 1-bromobutane with methoxide ion in DMF.
a. The concentration of both the alkyl halide and the nucleophile are tripled.
b. The solvent is changed to ethanol.
c. The nucleophile is changed to ethanol.
d. The alkyl halide is changed to 1-chlorobutane.
e. The alkyl halide is changed to 2-bromobutane.
ANSWER:
Solution 39P
Step 1 of 6
The reaction of 1-bromobutane with methoxide ion in DMF is bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. The rate of the reaction is depends on the both concentration of alkyl halide and concentration of nucleophile. This reaction takes place through a concerted mechanism.
