Observe the esterification mechanisms for primary and teriary alcohols.

(+) Octan -2-ol esterifies with Acetic acid to give optically inactive racemised product. It must have gone by

A

Type I mechanism

B

Type II mechanism

C

Mix type I and type II mechanism

D

more by type I and less by type II mechanism

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since (+) Octan -2-ol racemises on reaction with acetic acid, therefore it must have gone through an `S_(N)1` reaction i.e., type II reaction

Nucleophilic aliphatic substitution reaction is mainly of two types: S_(N)1 and S_(N)2 . The S_(N)1 mechanism is a two step process. Reaction velocity of S_(N)1 reaction depends only on the concentration of the substrate. Since product formation takes place by the formation of carbocation, optically active substrate gives (+) and (-) forms of the product. In most of the cases the product usually consits of 5-20% inverted product and 80-95% racemised species. The more stable the carbocation, the greater is the proportion of racemisation. In solvolysis reaction, the more nucleophilic the solvent, the greater is the proportion of inversion. For the gives reaction, Which substrate will give maximum racemisation?

SN reaction is given by these compounds, which have a nuclophilic group and a good leaving EWG . It should be stable after leaving with bonding pair of overline(e)'s and it should have high polarisability. Nucliphilic aliphatic substituion reaction is mainly of two types SN^(-1) and SN^(2). SN^(-1) mechanism is a two step process. Reaction velocity of SN^(-1) depends only on the concentration of the subtrate. It proceeds via the formation of carbocation, optically active substrate gives (o+) and (o-) froms of the product. In most of the cases, the product usually consists of 5-20% inverted and (95-80%) racemised species. The more stable is the carbocation, the greater is the propotion of racemisation.

Read the given passage and answer the questions number 1 to 5 that follow: The substitution reaction of alkyl halide mainly occurs by S_N 1 and S_N 2 mechanism. Whatever mechanism alkyl halides follow for the substitution reaction to occur, the polarity of the carbon halogen bond is responsible for these substitution reactions. The rate of S_N 1 reactions are governed by the stability of carbocation whereas for S_N 2 reactions steric factor is the deciding factor. If the starting material is a chiral compound, we may end up with an inverted product or racemic mixture depending upon the type of mechanism followed by alkyl halide. Cleavage of ethers with HI also governed by steric factor and stability of carbocation, which indicates that in organic chemistry, these two major factors help us in deciding the kind of product formed 1. Predict the stereochemistry of the product formed if an optically active alkyl halide undergoes substitution reaction by S_N 1 mechanism. 2. Name the instrument used for measuring the angle by which the plane polarised light is rotated. 3. Predict the major product formed when 2-Bromopentane reacts with alcoholic KOH. 4. Give one use of CHI_3 5. Write the structures of the products formed when anisole is treated with HI.
