explain reaction mechanism.
Answers
In chemistry, a reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical change occurs. A chemical mechanism is a theoretical conjecture that tries to describe in detail what takes place at each stage of an overall chemical reaction.
This reaction has been found to proceed by two different mechanims .
The reaction between CH,Cl and hydroxide ion to yield methanol and chloride ion follows a second order kinetics, i.e., the rate depends upon the concentration of both the reactants.
It depicts a bimolecular nucleophille substitution (S,2) reaction.
The incoming ucleophile 1nteraets with alkyl halide causing carbon-halide bond to break and a new bond is formed between carbon and attacking nucieophile. Here, It is C- bond formed between C and -OH.
