7. Substitution Reactions

Show how each compound might be synthesized by the SN2 displacement of an alkyl halide.

e. H₂C=CH—CH₂CN

f. H—C≡C—CH₂CH₂CH₃

Give two syntheses for (CH₃)₂CH—O—CH₂CH₃, and explain which synthesis is better.

For each pair, choose the nucleophile that would react most quickly in an S_N2 reaction (assume H₂O is the solvent).

(a) F^- vs Br^-

For each pair, choose the nucleophile that would react most quickly in an S_N2 reaction (assume H₂O is the solvent).

(b)

For each pair, choose the nucleophile that would react most quickly in an S_N2 reaction (assume H₂O is the solvent).
