Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The curved-arrow mechanism for nucleophilic substitution reaction of mechlorethamine with water is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which an nucleophile attacks the compounds and substitute a group which also acts as a nucleophile. The NGP is a phenomenon which helps in the enhancement of the rate of nucleophilic substitution reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The curved-arrow mechanism for cross-linking of the DNA molecule by mechlorethamine is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which an nucleophile attacks the compounds and substitute a group which also acts as a nucleophile. The NGP is a phenomenon which helps in the enhancement of the rate of nucleophilic substitution reaction.

- Predict the major product of the following reaction and draw it in the space provided. 1) NH,NH, 2) KOH, heatarrow_forwardWhy aldehydes and ketones do not undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction?arrow_forwardEthyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange and pineapple. Its fragrance and taste are often associated with fresh orange juice, and thus it is most commonly used as orange flavoring.It can be produced by the reaction of butanoic acid with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst (H+): CH3CH2CH2CO2H(l)+CH2CH3OH(l)H+⟶CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3(l)+H2O(l) a) Given 7.70 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100% yield? b) A chemist ran the reaction and obtained 5.25 g of ethyl butyrate. What was the percent yield? c) The chemist discovers a more efficient catalyst that can produce ethyl butyrate with a 78.0% yield. How many grams would be produced from 7.70 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol?arrow_forward
