Draw the structures of the major monohaloproducts in each of the following reaction: |
Answer» Solution : The reaction is CARRIED in the presence of DRY acetone upon heating. It is called finkelstein reaction. In this reaction. `I^(-)` ion being a stronger NUCLEOPHILE displaces `Br^(-)` ion. NaBr formed is insoluble in dry acetone WHEREAS NAI dissolves. this shifts the equilibrium in the frward direction. Under the reaction conditions allylic halogenation will take place. Addition of bromine can be possible in case the reaction is carried at room temperature. |
