Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: If the given reaction is classified as a substitution reaction, an elimination reaction or neither and the leaving group in the given reaction and the nucleophile in the substitutions.
Interpretation: If the given reaction is classified as a substitution reaction, an elimination reaction or neither is to be predicted. The leaving group in the given reaction and the nucleophile in the substitutions are to be identified.
Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one
The eviction of the substituents from a chemical reaction in one or more steps is termed as elimination reaction.
If a chemical substance gives its electron pair to an electrophile (electron deficient species) to form a
A group that exits with a pair of electrons due to heterolytic bond cleavage is termed as leaving group. Mostly anions and neutral atoms come under the category of leaving group.
(b)
To determine: If the given reaction is classified as a substitution reaction, an elimination reaction or neither and the leaving group in the given reaction and the nucleophile in the substitutions.
Interpretation: If the given reaction is classified as a substitution reaction, an elimination reaction or neither is to be predicted. The leaving group in the given reaction and the nucleophile in the substitutions are to be identified.
Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction.
The eviction of the substituents from a chemical reaction in one or more steps is termed as elimination reaction.
If a chemical substance gives its electron pair to an electrophlie (electron deficient species) to form a chemical bond, then it is termed as a nucleophile.
A group that exits with a pair of electrons due to heterolytic bond cleavage is termed as leaving group. Mostly anions and neutral atoms come under the category of leaving group.
