Compound X, C8H17Cl, is a chiral product of the radical chlorination of 4-methylheptane. X reacts in SN2 fashion with NaI in acetone to form Z, C8H17I. When the reactant is the R-enantiomer of X, only the R-enantiomer of Z is formed. Draw a structural formula for X; do not show stereochemistry.

In an energy pyramid, which level has the most available energy?

Which of these conditions most likely produces an unstable isotope?

Amines are good nucleophiles, even though they are neutral molecules. how would the rate of an sn2 reaction between an amine and an alkyl halide be affected if the polarity of the solvent is increased? amines are good nucleophiles, even though they are neutral molecules. how would the rate of an reaction between an amine and an alkyl halide be affected if the polarity of the solvent is increased? because both reactants in the rate-limiting step are neutral, the reaction will be faster if the polarity of the solvent is increased. because both reactants in the rate-limiting step are neutral, the reaction will be slower if the polarity of the solvent is increased. because both reactants in the rate-limiting step are neutral, the reaction will occur at the same rate if the polarity of the solvent is increased. request answer
