Question #1

A) SN2 and E2 reactions are favored by which of the following:
a. high heat

b. tertiary reactants

c. strong nucleophiles

d. nonpolar solvents

e. none of these favor these mechanisms

B) SN1 reactions usually involve reaction with
a. a strong base

b. the solvent

c. a primary carbon

d. a strong nucleophile

e. an epoxide

C) Elimination is favored over substitution when
a. High heat is applied.

b. A strong base is present.

c. The nucleophile is very bulky

d. The beta carbon has multiple substituents

e. all of these

Explanation / Answer

A) option C is correct (tertiary reactants favour Sn1 and E1 reactions. SN2 reactions are favourable in polar aprotic solvents so option A, B and D are not correct.)

B) option B is correct (strong base, strong nucleophile and primary cabron favour SN2 and E2 reactions so A, C and D are not correct.)

C) option E is correct
