Question

Identify the reaction mechanisms used:

A) ethyl ether Cl B) + SOC2 + S02 + HCI a = Proton transfer b = Lewis acid base c Radical chain substitution d Radical chain addition e-Electrophilic addition f= El Elimination g = E2 Elimination h S Nucleophilic substitution SN Nucleophilic substitution j Electrophilic aromatic substitution C) D) +KOt-Bu +KBr+ HOt-Bu a = Proton transfer b = Lewis acid base c = Radical chain substitution d = Radical chain addition e = Electrophilic addition f= El Elimination gE2 Elimination h SN Nucleophilic substitution iSN2 Nucleophilic substitution j - Electrophilic aromatic substitution AIBN CH3 poly (methyl methacrylate) (Plexiglass, Lucite) F) OEt+ OEt+ HOEt Na a = Proton transfer b = Lewis acid base c = Radical chain substitution d Radical chain addition h = SNI Nucleophilic substitution iSN2 Nucleophilic substitution j Electrophilic aromatic substitution e = Electrophilic addition El Elimination g = E2 Elimination

Explanation / Answer

A. Option i, SN2 reaction since ring opening of epoxide is always SN2

B. Option h, since it has racemic mixture. In SN1 reactions only we will observe racemic mixture.

C. Option J, Aromatic Electrophilic substitution. Since benzene and it's derivatives always participates in Electrophilic substitution reactions

D. Option g, E2 elimination. Since saturated compounds gets converted into unsaturated compounds. (sp3 to sp2)

E. Option d, radical chain addition

F. Option A, proton transfer
