What is the type of mechanism and an important feature of the reaction between C(CH3)3Br and aqueous NaOH?
|
|
SN1, a transition state
|
|
|
SN1, an intermediate
|
|
|
SN2, a transition state
|
|
|
SN2, an intermediate
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Tert-butylbromide undergoes substitution by SN1 mechanism because it is able to form a stable carbocation in the first step after cleavage of the halide group. The carbocation then reacts with the nucleophile OH-.
Detailed explanation-2: -SN1 and SN2 are two of the most common reactions involved in organic chemistry. SN1 is a substitution reaction which often occurs with carbonyl compounds as well as benzene, while SN2 is another type of nucleophilic substitution reaction that more commonly occurs with alkyl halides and also benzoins.
