Answer 163 New Way Chemistry for Hong Kong A-Level Book 3A 163 30.6 Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions (SB p.232) Back (a) (b) (c) (d) 按一下以編輯母片標題樣式 Silver bromide Ag+(aq) + Br–(aq) AgBr(s) The hydrolysis of 1-bromobutane takes time. Precipitation of AgBr occurs only after OH– from water has replaced Br– from 1-bromobutane. The C Br bond of bromobenzene is strengthened due to the delocalization of π electrons throughout the benzene ring and the halogen atom. As the breaking of the C Br bond of bromobenzene requires a larger amount of energy than 1-bromobutane, the substitution reaction becomes more difficult to occur. Thus, bromobenzene does not give any precipitate with silver nitrate solution. 164 New Way Chemistry for Hong Kong A-Level Book 3A 164 30.6 Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions (SB p.232) Back 按一下以編輯母片標題樣式 Which is the stronger nucleophile in each of the following pairs? Explain your choice briefly. (a) OH– and H2O (b) OH– and CH3CH2O– (a) (b) Answer OH– is a stronger nucleophile than H2O because it carries a negative charge while H2O is electrically neutral. CH3CH2O– is a stronger nucleophile than OH–. It is because the ethyl group (CH3CH2 ) is an electron-releasing group. It increases the electron density on the oxygen atom. This makes CH3CH2O– a stronger nucleophile than OH–. 165 New Way Chemistry for Hong Kong A-Level Book 3A 165 30.6 Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions (SB p.233) 按一下以編輯母片標題樣式 Predict whether the following substitution reactions follow mainly SN1 or SN2 pathway.

It is because the haloalkane (CH3I) is a methyl halide. There is little steric hindrance for the nucleophile to attack the carbon atom of the molecule. On the other hand, if the reaction follows the SN1 mechanism, the carbocation (CH3+) formed is not stabilized by the inductive effects of alkyl groups. Thus, the SN1 mechanism for this reaction is unfavourable. 167 New Way Chemistry for Hong Kong A-Level Book 3A 167 30.6 Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions (SB p.233) 按一下以編輯母片標題樣式 Predict whether the following substitution reactions follow mainly SN1 or SN2 pathway.

(b) Answer 168 New Way Chemistry for Hong Kong A-Level Book 3A 168 30.6 Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions (SB p.233) 按一下以編輯母片標題樣式 (b) The reaction follows mainly the SN1 mechanism. It is because the haloalkane is a secondary haloalkane with a bulky phenyl group attached directly to the carbon atom bearing the halogen atom. The bulky phenyl group exerts a dramatic steric hindrance to the approaching nucleophile. Therefore, the SN2 mechanism for this reaction is not favoured. On the other hand, the carbocation formed in the SN1 reaction is stabilized by both the inductive effect of the electron-releasing ethyl group and the resonance effect of the phenyl group.
