Question

In which of the following compounds hydrolysis takes place through $S_{N}1$ and $S_{N}2$ mechanisms reactivity?

• A. $N{F}_3,NC{l}_3$
• B. $P_4{O}_{10},SiC{l}_4$
• C. $S{F}_4,Te{F}_6$
• D. $SiC{l}_4,Si{F}_4$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

In case of $N{F}_3,NC{l}_3$ hydrolysis takes place through $S_{N}1$ and $S_{N}2$ mechanisms reactivity respectively

$N{F}_3+H_{2}O\to S_{N}1$

$NC{l}_3+H_{2}O\to S_{N}2$

$P_4{O}_{10}\to S_{N}AE$

$SiC{l}_4\to S_{N}2$

$S{F}_4,Te{F}_6\to$ Both $S_{N}2$

$SiC{l}_4,Si{F}_4\to$ Both $S_{N}2$
