Question

What will be the mechanism for the substitution of br by oH in (ch3)2C(Br) CH2CH3

Answer 1

hi!

here is ur answer!!!!!!!!!

for (ch3)2C

Due to steric factor , isopropyl chloride can not undergo SN2 reaction but since the carbon in C-Cl is 2° ,it forms a stable carbocation due to six hyperconjugable hydrogen and the inductive effect of CH3.Hence, it undergoes substitution by SN1 mechanism.

ISOPROPILE CHLORIDE :- (CH3)2C-Cl
