Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 1

Only One Option Correct Type

Direction (Q. Nos. 1-8) This section contains 8 multiple choice questions. Each question has four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which ONLY ONE is correct.

Q. 

Which of the SN2 reaction is fastest?

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 1

CH3 Br is more reactive termed and   is stronger nucleophile.

Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 2

Which statement is true about SN2 mechanism?

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 2

Stronger the nucleophile, faster the SN2 reaction. Polar aprotic solvent solvate cations, makes anionic nucleophile more available for reaction, hence faster reaction. A better leaving group lowers the activation energy increasing rate of SN2 reaction.

Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 3

A correct statement about transition state of SN2 reaction is 

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 3

SN2 reaction is a one step (concerted) reaction that involes a single transition state.

Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 4

What is the correct increasing order of reactivity of the  followings in SN2 reaction ?

I. CH2 = CHCH2 — Br
II. CH2 = CH— I
III. CH3CH2CH2 — I
IV. CH3OCH2CH2 — I 

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 4

Allyl bromide (I) is most reactive among the given halides as pi bonds from allylic position stabilises the transition state. Vinyl iodide (II) is least reactive due to partial double bond character. Electron withdrawing inductive effect of CH3O- increases reactivity of (IV) over (III)

Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 5

What is the correct increasing order of reactivity of the following in the SN2 reaction?

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 5

 (IV) is most reactive as it is benzylic as well as electron withdrawing effect of — NO2 further increases the reactivity. (Ill) is least reactive due to resonance effect resulting in partial double bond character between carbon and chlorine. (I) is less reactive in SN2 reaction than II, due to greater steric hindrance in (I).

Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 6

Consider the two lines shown in the diagram given below.

Q. 

In a SN2 reaction, these two lines compare the effect of the

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 6

Substrates are same as they are at same potential energies. Nucleophiles are different as magnifested by different activation energies and different products with different potential energies,

Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 7

Consider the two lines shown in the diagram given below.

Q. 

Which of the following apply appropriately to a SN2 reaction?

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 7

HOis stronger nucleophile than CH3COO- . Hence, lower activation energy of (I) than (II).

Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 8

The correct statement concerning a SN2 reaction is

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 8

The transition state in SN2 reaction is pentavalent as indicated here.
 

*Multiple options can be correct
Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 9

One or More than One Options Correct Type

Direction (Q. Nos. 9-14) This section contains 6 multiple choice questions. Each question has four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which ONE or MORE THAN ONE are correct.

Q. 

 In a SN2 reaction rate of reaction depends on

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 9

In a SN2 reaction, Rate = k[substrate] [nucleophile]
Hence, rate depends both on concentration of substrate as well as nucleophile. Rate of reaction also depends on nature of leaving group. A better leaving group gives lower activation energy hence, greater rate of reaction. Number of lone pair has no role to play in nucieophilicity hence reactivity.

*Multiple options can be correct
Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 10

Consider the following SN2 reaction,

Q. 

Which of the following could increase the reactivity (rate) of reaction ?

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 10

Increasing concentration of nucleophile (NaOH) increases the reactivity. Adding some Nal also catalyse reaction because of following equilibrium.

Now reaction occur with CH3I which has better leaving group. Heavier isotope forms stronger covalent bond. Hence, replacing CH3Br by 14CH3Br stabilises substrate, decreases rate whereas replacing NaOH by NaO18H stabilises transition state increases rate of reaction.

*Multiple options can be correct
Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 11

A SN2 reaction involves back side attack of nucleophile at the α-carbon of substrate because

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 11

Both nucleophile and leaving group are electron rich species, nucleophile attacks from backside (most remote position) to have minimum repulsion with leaving group. Also, due to the presence of leaving group on front side there is less physical space for attack of nucleophile.

*Multiple options can be correct
Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 12

1-chlorobutane is more reactive than 2-chloro-2-methyl propane in a SN2 reaction because

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 12


As indicated in the given reaction, α-carbon is less hindered in 1- chloropropane. Also + I effect of three methyl groups in 2- chloro-2-methyl propane decreases electropositive character of α-carbon, decreases reactivity further in SN2 reaction.

*Multiple options can be correct
Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 13

Consider the reaction given below.

Q. 

The correct statement(s) applicable to the above reaction is/are

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 13

Steric hindrance plays the most important role in SN2 reaction. Hence, although Cl is poorer leaving group than I, Cl is substituted predominantly in the above reaction due to less steric hindrance at α-carbon. Addition of Nal replace Cl by I and substitution becomes easier.


*Multiple options can be correct
Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 14

The correct statement regarding a SN2 reaction is/are

Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 14

Stronger bond formation at α-carbon affects the stability of product (thermodynamics) not the rate (kinetics) of reaction. Change of isotope at α-position or in halogens affect the rate, hence show kinetic isotopic effect. Presence of electron withdrawing group in substrate increases electrophilicity of α-carbon hence, increases its reactivity towards nucleophiles.

*Answer can only contain numeric values
Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 18

One Integer Value Correct Type

Direction (Q. Nos. 18-20) This section contains 3 questions. When worked out will result in an integer from 0 to 9 (both inclusive).

Consider the following reaction,

Q.

The above reaction was started taking equal concentrations of ethyl iodide and NaOH. After 1.0 h, concentration of iodoethane is dropped to (1/3)rd of initial value. By what factor, the rate of reaction would have been decreased by the same time?


Detailed Solution for Test: SN2 Reaction Basics - Question 18

Rate = A [C2H5I] [OH-] Rate is linear function of both alkyl halide and nucleophile concentration both will decrease by same factor. Hence, if after 1.0 h concentration of iodoethane decreases to  concentration of hydroxide will also decrease by the same  factor and rate by  , i.e. by 9 times.
