Question

Consider the reaction CH3CH2CH2Br + NaCN arrow CH3CH2CH2CN + NaBr This reaction will be the fastest in (A) ethanol (B) methanol (C) N, N' - dimethylformamide (DMF) (D) water

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The reaction is SN2, most suitable solvent should be polar aprotic i.e., DMF.

Q. Consider the reaction $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} B r + N a CN \to C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} CN + N a B r$ This reaction will be the fastest in

ethanol

methanol

N, N' - dimethylformamide (DMF)

water

The reaction is $S_{N} 2$ , most suitable solvent should be polar aprotic i.e., DMF.
