Rearrange the following in an increasing order of their basi strengths: C_(6)H_(5)NH_(2),C_(6)H_(5)N(CH_(3))_(2),(C_(6)H_(5))_(2)NH and CH_(3)NH_(2). |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Due to delocalization of lone pair of electrons of the N-atom over the BENZENE ring, all aromatic amines are less basic than alkylamines, i.e., `CH_(3)NH_(2)`. (ii) PRESENCE of electron donating grous (i.e., `CH_(3)`) on the N-atom increases the basicity of substituted aniline w.r.t. `C_(6)H_(5)NH_(2)`. (iii) In `(C_(6)H_(5))_(2)NH`, th lone pair of electrons on the N-atom is delocalized over two benzene rings instead of one in `C_(6)H_(5)NH_(2)`, therefore, `(C_(6)H_(5))_(2)NH` is much less basic than `C_(6)H_(5)NH_(2)`. Combining all the three trends together, the basicitiy of the four amines increases in the ORDER: `(C_(6)H_(5))_(2)NH lt C_(6)H_(5)NH_(2) lt C_(6)H_(5)N(CH_(3))_(2) lt CH_(3)NH_(2)`. |

|
| 28. |
Rearrange the following compounds in increasing order of their boilig ponits: CH_(3)-CHO,CH_(3)CH_(2)-OH,CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(3). |
|
Answer» Solution :Due to EXTENSIVE intermolecular H-bonding, the b.p. of `CH_(3)CH_(2)OH` is the highest. Now `CH_(3)CHO` is polar while `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(3)` is non-polar. THEREFORE, due to dipole-dipole interactions, the b.p. of `CH_(3)CHO` is higher than that of `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(3)`. thus, the b.ps. of the three compounds INCREASE in the order: `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(3) LT CH_(3)CHO lt CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`. |

Answer» Solution :(i) 2-Bromo-2-methybutane, 1-Bromopentane , 2Bromopentane: The reactivity is `SN^(2)` reaction depents uponsteric hindance, more thesteric hindence slower the reaction. ![]() Sincedue to stericreasionthe order of reactivityin `SN^(2)`reactionfollowsthe order: `1^(@) gt2^(@) GT3^(@)`, therefore, order of reactivityofthe givenalklyl BROMIDES is : 1-Bromopentane `gt 2`- Brompebtane `gt 2-` Bromo -2 Methylbutane. Since due to steric reason, the order of reactivity of alkyl halides in `SN^(2)` reactionfollows the order `1^(@) gt 2^(@) gt 3^(@)` therefore, the order ofreactivity of thegivenalkyl bromies is . 1-Bromo-3-Methylbutane`gt2`- Bromo -3-Methylbutane `gt 2`-Bromo -2-Methylbutane. ![]() Since in CASE of `1^(@)` alkyl halides,steric hindrancein theorder : n-alkyl halides, alkyl halide substituentsatthe `beta`-position, therefore , the reactivitydecrease in the sameorder- Thu, the reactivityof the givenalkyl bromides decrease in the order. 1-Bromobutance `gt 1`- Bromo - 3-Methybutane `gt 1`- Bromo-2- Methylbutane `GT1`- Bromo-2-Methylbutane`gt1`- Bromo-2-dimethylpropane. |

Answer» Solution :(i) `UNDERSET("TERTIARY halogencompound")(CH_(3) 0 CH_(2) - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(Br)overset(|)C - CH_(3)) "" underset("Primary halogen compound ")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)Br) "" underset("Secondary halogen compound")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)overset(Br)overset(|)CHCH_(3))` In `S_(N)2` reaction , the order of reactivity is: Primary ` gt` Secondary ` gt` Tertiary . Therefore, the order of reactivity for the given COMPOUNDS will be 1-Bromopentane `gt`2-Bromopentane `gt`2-Bromo-2-methylbutane (ii) `underset("Primary halide")(CH_(3) - overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(CH) - cH_(2) - CH_(2)Br ) "" underset("Tertiary halide")(CH_(3) - CH_(2) - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(Br)overset(|)C - CH_(3)) "" underset("Secondary halide")(CH_(3) - overset(Br)overset(|)CH - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)CH - CH_(3))` Therefore , the order of reactivitywill be 1-Bromo-3-methylbutane `gt`3-Bromo-2-methylbutane `gt ` 2-Bromo-2-methylbutane (iii) `underset("Primary halide (I)")(CH_(3) - CH_(2) - CH_(2) - CH_(2)Br) "" underset(II) (CH_(3) - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C - CH_(2)Br) "" underset(III)(CH_(3) - CH_(2) - overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(CH) - CH_(2)Br)` All the three are primary halide. But the NUCLEOPHILE will face maximum hinderance with II followed by III followed by I. Hence, the order of reactivity towards `S_(N)2`is: 1-Bromobutane `gt`1-Bromo-2-methylbutane `gt` 1-Bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane. |
