1 Chapter 7 Substitution Reactions Review of Concepts Fill in the blanks below. To verify that your answers are correct, look in your textbook at the end of Chapter 7. Each of the sentences below appears verbatim in the section entitled Review of Concepts and Vocabulary. Substitution reactions exchange one for another. Evidence for the concerted mechanism, called S 2, includes the observation of a -order rate equation. The reaction proceeds with of configuration. S 2 reactions are said to be because the configuration of the product is determined by the configuration of the substrate. Evidence for the stepwise mechanism, called S 1, includes the observation of a -order rate equation. The step of an S 1 process is the rate-determining step. An S 1 reaction is a stepwise process with a first-order rate equation. There are four factors that impact the competition between the S 2 mechanism and S 1: 1) the, 2) the, 3) the, and 4) the. solvents favor S 2. Review of Skills Follow the instructions below.

Specifically, the four groups connected to a chirality center are ranked (one through four). In the reactant (above left), the highest priority group is the leaving group (bromide) which is then replaced by a group that does not receive the highest priority. In the product, the fluorine atom has been promoted to the highest priority as a result of the reaction, and as such, the prioritization scheme has changed. In this way, the stereodescriptor (S) remains unchanged, despite the fact that chirality center undergoes inversion. 2 S 1 F C 3 3 4

Both problems are characterized by three mechanistic steps: 1) loss of a leaving group, 2) nucleophilic attack, and 3) proton transfer The chirality center at C2 is lost when the leaving group leaves to form a carbocation with trigonal planar geometry. The chirality center at C3 is lost during the hydride shift in the following step. nce again, the chirality center is converted into a trigonal planar sp 2 hybridized center (which is no longer a chirality center).

As a result, the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system assigns the same configuration to the reactant and the product δ δ Iodide functions as a nucleophile and attacks (S)-2-iodopentane, displacing iodide as a leaving group. The reaction is an S 2 process, and therefore proceeds via inversion of configuration. The product is (R)-2-iodopentane. The reaction continues until a racemic mixture is obtained.

20 CAPTER The substrate is primary, and therefore, the reaction must proceed via an S 2 process. S 2 reactions are highly sensitive to the strength of the nucleophile, and the nucleophile (water) is a weak nucleophile.

24 CAPTER I I This reaction occurs via an S 2 process. As such, the rate of the reaction is highly sensitive to the nature of the substrate. The reaction will be faster in this case, because the methyl ester is less sterically hindered than the ethyl ester Base Et Et Et Et When the leaving group leaves, the carbocation formed is resonance stabilized: Ts Resonance stabilized Iodide is a very good nucleophile (because it is polarizable), and it is also a very good leaving group (because it can stabilize the negative charge by spreading the charge over a large volume of space). As such, iodide will function as a nucleophile to displace the chloride ion. nce installed, the iodide group is a better leaving group than chloride, thereby increasing the rate of the reaction.
