Explain the following observations:
(a) Azide ion `(N_(3))` react with `2-` bromopentane thousand times faster than with neopentyl bromide in a `S_(N)2` reaction through former isa secondary halide while latter is primary.
(b) What will happen to teh stereochemistry of product of the following reaction:

(c) What will happens to the rate if the concentration of alkyl bromide in (b) is doubled?
(d) Wha will happen to the rate if the concentration of azide ion in (b) is doubled?
(e) How the sign of optical rotation of reactant and product are related in (b)
(f) When allowed to stand in dilute `H_(2)SO_(4)` laevo-rotatory 2-butanol slowly loss optical activity.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(a) Though neopentybromide is primary, bulky group posses very large steric hindrance to the attack fo bulky nucleophile `N_(3)^(-)`.
`(##ALN_CHM_C08_E01_085_A01##)`
(c) Rate will double (d) Rate will double
(e) not related (f) Racemization occur through carbocation intermediate
