Question

i) Explain alkaline hydrolysis of t-butyl bromide.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The alkaline hydrolysis of t-butyl bromide is a first order reaction. This is because of the fact that the rate of the reaction entirely depends on t-butyl bromide. The energy profile diagram is a representation of the energy path followed by the reactants to form products.

Answer 2

Answer:

Alkaline hydrolysis of tert-butylbromide follows SN1 mechanism. The first step is the ionization of tert-butyl bromide to form stable tert-butyl carbocation. It is slow step (rate determining step). In this step, bromide ion is lost. The next step is attack of hydroxide ion.
