Alkylhalides Flashcards
1
Q
All alkyl halides that form stable carbo cations will undergo SN1 reactions
A
1.Tertiary alkyl halides
2.Secondary alkyl halides
2
Q
Tertiary alkylhalides
A
Undergo SN1 Reactions because they form the most stable cations
3
Q
Secondary alkylhalides
A
They form 2° carbo cations; hence, may or may not undergo SN1 Reactions
4
Q
Primary alkylhalides
A
Form 1° carbo cations; hence, will not undergo SN1 Reactions
5
Q
Order of SN2 Reactions
A
1°>2°>3°.
This is because tertiary alkylhalides are very sterically hindered
6
Q
SN2 Reaction
A
This is a substitution nucleophilic biomolecular reaction in which the rate determining step is dependent on two molecules.
7
Q
Examples of bases used in E2 reactions
A
1.KOH
2.NaOH
3.NaOCH3
4.NaOCH2CH3
