Question

$\xrightarrow { \mathrm { HBr } }$ X,

Identify X and the mechanism of the reaction

• A. CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – CH2 – Br &SN1
• B. CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – CH2 – Br &SN2
• C. &SN1
• D. &SN2

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – CH2 – Br &SN2

Answer 2

CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – CH2 – OH $\xrightarrow { \mathrm { HBr } }$ CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – CH2 – Br

Unbranched 1⁰ alcohol give SN2 reaction with HX.
