Which of the following statements/reactions are correct ?A. `SN^2//E2` ratio is higher with `RS^(Ө)` than for those with `RO^(Ө)`.B. `SN^2//E2` ratio is highest for `1^@ RX` and least for `3^@ RX`.C. D. `Me_3 C - Br + KCN rarr Me_3 C - CN`. |

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C (a) `RS^(Ө)` is a stronger nucleophile than `RO^(Ө)` but is a weaker base than `RO^(Ө)` [as explained in (b) above] So, `SN^2` is more predominant than `E2`, and consequency `SN^2//E2` ratio is higher. (b) `1^@ RX` undergoes `SN^2` reaction and `3^@` undergoes `SN^1` and `El` reactions. So `SN^2//E2` is higher for `1^@ RX` (c) `EtO^(Ө)` is a stronger base, so `E2` reaction is prediominant to give (I) as the major product. (d) With `overset (Ө) CH` (acting both as nucleophile and base) both `SN^1` and `El` reactions may occur. Hence the product formed by `SN^1` reaction in wrong. It would give elimination product also. |
