`SN^(2)` reaction is a bimolecular reaction which takes places by the formation of `T.S.` Veolcity of the reaction depends on the concentration of the substrate as well as the nucleophile.
The reaction is favoureed by strong `Nu^(o-)` and in the presence of polar aprotic sovlent, optically active halides give. Walden inversion by `SN^(2)` mechanism. The presence of hetro group (atom) at `beta-C` atom, unsaturation at `beta-C` and `(-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-)` group at `alpha-C` atomn favor `SN^(2)` mechanism.
Allyl halides and benzyl halides give `SN^(1)` and `SN^(2)` reactions. Allyl halides alos give `SN^(2)` mechanism `EDG` at ortho- and para- postions in benzyl halides favors `SN^(1)` mechanism, wheras `EWG` favors `SN^(2)` mechanism.
Which of the following will gives `SN^(2)` mechanism gt

The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds will undergo an SN2 mechanism, we need to analyze the characteristics of each compound based on the principles of SN2 reactions. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the SN2 Mechanism SN2 (Substitution Nucleophilic Bimolecular) reactions are characterized by: - A bimolecular reaction where the rate depends on the concentration of both the substrate (alkyl halide) and the nucleophile. - Favorable conditions include strong nucleophiles and polar aprotic solvents. - The reaction involves a backside attack leading to Walden inversion, where the configuration of the substrate is inverted. ### Step 2: Identify the Type of Alkyl Halide The type of alkyl halide plays a crucial role in determining whether an SN2 reaction will occur: - **Primary (1°) alkyl halides** are most favorable for SN2 due to lower steric hindrance. - **Secondary (2°) alkyl halides** can undergo SN2 but are less favorable compared to primary. - **Tertiary (3°) alkyl halides** are generally not suitable for SN2 due to high steric hindrance; they favor SN1 reactions instead. ### Step 3: Analyze Each Compound Assuming we have four compounds to analyze (let's denote them as A, B, C, and D): 1. **Compound A (C2H5Br)**: This is a primary alkyl halide (1°) since the bromine is attached to a carbon that is connected to only one other carbon. Thus, it can undergo an SN2 reaction. 2. **Compound B**: If this compound is also a primary alkyl halide (similar to Compound A), it will also undergo an SN2 reaction. 3. **Compound C**: If this compound is identical to Compound B, it is also a primary alkyl halide and will undergo an SN2 reaction. 4. **Compound D**: If this compound is a secondary or tertiary alkyl halide, it will be less favorable for SN2. If it is primary, it will also undergo SN2. ### Step 4: Conclusion Based on the analysis, if all compounds A, B, and C are primary alkyl halides, they will all undergo SN2 reactions. The answer to the question is that all the compounds that are primary alkyl halides will give an SN2 mechanism. ### Final Answer All the compounds (if they are primary alkyl halides) will give SN2 reactions. ---
