Which of the following gives the different substitution product with CH3CH2Br when their sodium and silver salts are used?

Detailed Solution for Test: Ambident Nucleophiles & NGP in SN2 Reactions - Question 12


Silver salts have covalent character, hence lone pair of free atom i.e. nitrogen in both cases donate lone pair. With sodium salts, nucleophiles are free ions in solution, better donor donate lone pair.

*Multiple options can be correct
Test: Ambident Nucleophiles & NGP in SN2 Reactions - Question 13

Consider the following substitution reaction,

Q. 

The correct statement(s) is/are

Detailed Solution for Test: Ambident Nucleophiles & NGP in SN2 Reactions - Question 13

Due to neighbouring group participation, reaction occurs at much faster rate than 2-bromo-3, 3-dimethylpentane. Also it involves SN2 reaction twice, overall retention of configuration is observed.

Test: Ambident Nucleophiles & NGP in SN2 Reactions - Question 14

Comprehension Type

Direction (Q. Nos. 14-16) This section contains a paragraph, describing theory, experiments, data, etc.
Three questions related to the paragraph have been given. Each question has only one correct answer among the four given options (a), (b), (c) and (d).

Passage

Nucleophiles which have more than one type of donor atoms within the same donor group are known as ambident nucleophile e.g.
CN- : Both carbon and nitrogen are donor.
OCN- : Both oxygen and nitrogen are donor etc.
In case of free anionic and ambident nucleophiles, the better donor atom donate its lone pair of electron and forms bond with a-carbon after substitution reaction, in a given period, donor ability decreases from left to right. In a group, donor ability increases from top to bottom.

Q. 

When CH3CH2Br is treated with aqueous NaCN, CH3CH2CN is formed while CH3CH2NCis formed when AgCN is used in the similar reaction. It is due to

Detailed Solution for Test: Ambident Nucleophiles & NGP in SN2 Reactions - Question 14

With NaCN free cyanide (CN-) is obtained in solution, hence better donor atom carbon donate lone pair. In AgCN, due to covalent character of Ag — C bond CN- is not free in solution hence, lone pair of ‘N’ is donated

Test: Ambident Nucleophiles & NGP in SN2 Reactions - Question 15

Nucleophiles which have more than one type of donor atoms within the same donor group are known as ambident nucleophile e.g.
CN- : Both carbon and nitrogen are donor.
OCN- : Both oxygen and nitrogen are donor etc.
In case of free anionic and ambident nucleophiles, the better donor atom donate its lone pair of electron and forms bond with a-carbon after substitution reaction, in a given period, donor ability decreases from left to right. In a group, donor ability increases from top to bottom.

Q. 

Treatment of CH3CH2Br with either NaNO2 or AgNO2 gives the same nitroethane as major product because

Detailed Solution for Test: Ambident Nucleophiles & NGP in SN2 Reactions - Question 15

In both salts, lone pair on nitrogen (better donor atom than oxygen) is free for donation to alkyl halide.

Test: Ambident Nucleophiles & NGP in SN2 Reactions - Question 16

Nucleophiles which have more than one type of donor atoms within the same donor group are known as ambident nucleophile e.g.
CN- : Both carbon and nitrogen are donor.
OCN- : Both oxygen and nitrogen are donor etc.
In case of free anionic and ambident nucleophiles, the better donor atom donate its lone pair of electron and forms bond with a-carbon after substitution reaction, in a given period, donor ability decreases from left to right. In a group, donor ability increases from top to bottom.

Q. 

When iodomethane is treated with sodium isocyanate (NaNCO), CH3NCO is the major product while AgNCO gives CH3CH2OCN as major product because

Detailed Solution for Test: Ambident Nucleophiles & NGP in SN2 Reactions - Question 16

With free NCO-, better donor atom (nitrogen) donate its lone pair. If AgNCO is used, due to covalent character of Ag—N bond lone pair of oxygen is donated giving CH3CH2— OCN as major product.

Test: Ambident Nucleophiles & NGP in SN2 Reactions - Question 18

Consider the foiiowing SN2 reactions.

Q. 

Only neighbouring effect increases reactivity of (II) by a factor of 5 x 104. If reaction (I) is carried out with initial concentration of C4H9Br = 0.05 M and NaOH 0.01 M and reaction (II) is carried out with initial concentration of both CH3SCH2CH2Br and NaOH = 0.1 M each, rate of reaction (II) would be 10x times greater than the rate of reaction (I) under identical experimental condition. What is the value of x?


Detailed Solution for Test: Ambident Nucleophiles & NGP in SN2 Reactions - Question 18


kII/kI= 5 x 104 

Dividing the above two rates gives
