Treatment of 1,1 -dimethyl oxirane with sodium methoxide in methanol gives primarily one product. Also
identify the product giving its IUPAC name
Trimethyl amine reacts with alkyl iodide (RI). As the reaction proceeds the reaction rate abnormally
increases, inspite of depleting concentration of reactants.
Optically active 2-iodo butane on treatment with NaI*/Acetone gives a product which do not show
optical activity.
In the solvent DMSO the order of reactivity of halide ions with methyl bromide is F~ > Cl > Br" > I~
opposite to that observed in methanol solution.
(n - C3H7)3N + CH3I -(n - C3H7)3NCH3+
Relative rate: in hexane, 1; in chloroform, 13000
Br- + CH3OTs-CH3Br + TsORelative rates: in methanol, 1; in HMPT, 105.

(v)

Although ethers are weakly polar, are used as solvent of choice for Grignard reagents.

(vii)

Treatment of either CH3-CH - CH-CHjBr or CH3-CH -CH - CH2 with aqueous HO~ gives the
O

(e)

On reaction between an alkyl halide and KOH in a mixture of water and ethanol, compare the two
mechanisms SNj and SN2:
relative rates of CH3X,C2H5X,iso-C3H7X&tert-C4H9X
relative rates for RC1, RBr and RI
effect on rate of a rise in temperature
effect on rate of increasing water content of the solvent.
effect on rate increasing alcohol content of the solvent.

Q.3

In the following reaction is carried out in the weakly ionizing solvent, acetone (CH3)2C=0. (Bsisbrosyl,
p-bromo benzene sulfonyl)
n-C4H9OBs + X >n-C4H9X + BsOThe order of reactivity of halide ions depends or the salt used on their source :
ifLi+X~ isused,I^r-^Clif (n-C4H))4N+ X - is used C l - > B r - > I ~
How do you account for this contrast in behavior ?
