In which of the following reaction, inversion of configuration at chiral carbon takes place?

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Reactivity - Question 15

In both option (a) and option (d) α-carbon is chiral, hence SN2 reaction will lead to inversion of configuration. In option (b), α-carbon is achiral, configuration of chiral β-carbon will not be affected. In option (c) SN2 reaction occur twice at the same a-carbon hence, double inversion will give net retention of configuration.

*Multiple options can be correct

Consider the following SN2 reaction,

1-bromobutane + NaCN(aq) → pentanenitrile +NaBr

Q.

Which of the following solvents) when replaces water in the above reaction, increases the rate?

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Reactivity - Question 16

All the mentioned solvents are polar and'aprotic, hence increases rate of SN2 reaction.

*Multiple options can be correct

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Reactivity - Question 17

In both option (a) and option (c) products have inverted configuration but at α-carbon only. In option (b) product has inverted configuration at both α and β-carbons, hence not true in SN2 reaction. In case of option (d), an equilibrium will be established with K = 1.


At equilibrium both enantiomers exist in equal amounts giving racemic mixture.

Test: SN2 Reaction Reactivity - Question 18

Comprehension Type

Direction (Q. Nos. 18-23) This section contains 2 paragraphs, each describing theory, experiments, data, etc. Six questions related to the paragraphs have been given. Each question has only one correct answer among the four given options (a), (b), (c) and (d).

Passage I

In a SN2 reaction, solvent plays a very important role. Hydroxylic solvents like water, alcohols, carboxylic acids etc., solvate nucleophile, decreases its reactivity in the reaction.
Size of donor atom of nucleophile also affect nucleophilicity. A larger donor atom is more easily polarised and less solvated, hence a stronger nucleophile. Therefore, in a given group of periodic table, nucleophilicity increases down the group. However solvation effect is more predominant than polarisability.

Q. 

In water, the order of nucleophilicity of halides is

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Reactivity - Question 18

F- is most hydrated, least nucleophilic and I- is most polarisable, strongest nucleophile among halides in H2O.

Test: SN2 Reaction Reactivity - Question 19

Passage I

In a SN2 reaction, solvent plays a very important role. Hydroxylic solvents like water, alcohols, carboxylic acids etc., solvate nucleophile, decreases its reactivity in the reaction.
Size of donor atom of nucleophile also affect nucleophilicity. A larger donor atom is more easily polarised and less solvated, hence a stronger nucleophile. Therefore, in a given group of periodic table, nucleophilicity increases down the group. However solvation effect is more predominant than polarisability.

Q. 

In dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) solvent, the order of nucleophilicity of haiides ion is

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Reactivity - Question 19

In polar aprotic solvent, basicity parallels nucleophilicity.

Test: SN2 Reaction Reactivity - Question 20

Passage I

In a SN2 reaction, solvent plays a very important role. Hydroxylic solvents like water, alcohols, carboxylic acids etc., solvate nucleophile, decreases its reactivity in the reaction.
Size of donor atom of nucleophile also affect nucleophilicity. A larger donor atom is more easily polarised and less solvated, hence a stronger nucleophile. Therefore, in a given group of periodic table, nucleophilicity increases down the group. However solvation effect is more predominant than polarisability.

Q. 

Which of the following describe correctly the role of H2O a s solvent in a SN2 reaction?

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Reactivity - Question 20

Hydroxylic solvents like H2O , stabilises both nucleophile and transition state, but to a greater extent to nucleophile. As a result, activation energy increases and rate of reaction decreases.

Test: SN2 Reaction Reactivity - Question 21

Passage II

Q. 

What is true regarding the follow ing reaction? 

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Reactivity - Question 21

The product would have opposite configuration at a-carbon, but reactants and products are not isomers, they are different compounds, have their characteric stereochemical properties not inter-related.

Test: SN2 Reaction Reactivity - Question 22

Passage II

In a SN2 reaction, back side attack takes place which leads to inversion of configuration ata-carbon which is known as Walden’s inversion :

Q. 

What can be correctly predicted regarding product of the following reaction ?

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Reactivity - Question 22

Both Cl can act as leaving group and there will be equal probability of the two chlorides to leave, giving racemic mixture of products.
