Question
Instead of Br- and H2O, it's F- and DMSO, respectively, for the first reaction.
Instead of I-, it's F- for the second reaction.
From the drop down menu: SN1/slower; SN2/slower; SN1/same rate; SN1/faster; SN2/faster; SN2/same rate.
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY ANET L. MAXWELL presented by sapling earning Consider the following pair of reactions. Predict the type of substitution mechanism, predict which react of the pair will occur at the faster rate, and draw the correct organic product. Select answerP CI Select answerExplanation / Answer
Both will ne SN2 reaction. The reaction in DMSO will be faster as the ability of the solvent to solvate the nucleophile (here F-) is the important criteria for the relative rate of the SN2 reaction.
The products will be F in place of Cl in the substrate.
