Shown below are two reactions; Reaction 1 is a Friedel-Crafts acylation while Reaction 2 is a Friedel- Crafts alkylation. State which reaction will occur faster and justify your answer, with words and structures. Mention: e- density / Deactivation / Resonance stable / faster the carbonation formed because it's gonna have smaller activation energy

What type of mechanism is needed for this reaction?
Write the main product(s) that will be formed as a result of the following reaction, together with its mechanism.
Please answer the two items. The following compounds are major products of an elimination reaction with an alkyl halide. Determine the structure of the alkyl halide. Write the overall reaction mechanism. Tip: Remember your Markovnikov’s rule. Follow the progress of the reaction and look at the stability of the intermediate products and transition states to determine the minor and major products.
A common method where one alkyl halide is converted to another alkyl halide is known as Finkelstein reaction. In one example of this reaction the reaction of an alkyl chloride with potassium iodide is generally carry out in acetone to maximize the amount of alkyl iodine that this formed. Why does the solvent increase the amount of alkyl iodide. Hint: potassium idioide is soluble in acetone but potassium chloride is not.
Give a mechanism for the first step of the reaction and explain why it goes in the direction it does.
In an E2 mediated elimination reaction of an alkyl halide (H-X) using NaOCH3 as base, which of the following statement is not true? O The reactivity order for alkyl halides (RX) is tertiary secondary> primary. O The rate of reaction = k2 (alkyl halide] [NaOCH₂] O The reaction occurs in a single step. O The rate is independent of the leaving group.
I had written those notes above the nucleophiles, so I am unsure if they are correct.
Show the steps of the next reaction in detail. And explain why it's hard to go along with the dotted line.
b) Explain in detail what characteristics of the alkyl halide influence whether a mechanism will be SN1 or SN2. c) Explain in detail what characteristics of a nucleophile influence whether a reaction will be SN1 or SN2.

Acyl transfer (nucleophilic substitution at carbonyl) reactions proceed in two stages via a "tetrahedral intermediate." Draw the tetrahedral intermediate as it is first formed in the following reaction. H3C NH₂ HCI/H₂O reflux • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • Include all valence lone pairs in your answer. • Do not include counter-ions, e.g., Na+, I, in your answer. • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.
