Write equations for the steps in S_(N)1 mechanism of conversion of tertiary butyl bromide into tertiary butyl alcohol. |
Answer» Solution :(a) When t-butyl BROMIDE reacts with aqueous potassium hydroxide, t-butyl alcohol  STEP 1: The ALKYL halide undergoes slow ionisation to form a carbocation and bromide ion.  Step 2: The NUCLEOPHILE OH- ATTACKS the carbocation to form tertiarý butyl alcohol.  (b)A mixture of an alkyl halide and aryl halide gives an alkylarene when treated with sodium in dry ether.  ( c)Finkelstein reaction. |
