how do you expect the following series of compounds to compare in behavior in the two tests? The two tests performed were...

Question

A. Sodium Iodide in Acetone (SN2) B. Silver Nitrate in Ethanol (SN1)

1. CH3-CH=CH-CH2-Br 2. CH3-C=CH-CH3 3. CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-Br
I
Br

Also known as.....
1. 1-bromo-2-butene 2. 2-bromo-2-butene 3. 1-bromobutane

Answer 1

In Test A, the compounds will likely react in the following order: 3 > 2 > 1. Compound 3 (1-bromobutane) will react the fastest, followed by compound 2 (2-bromo-2-butene), and then compound 1 (1-bromo-2-butene).

In Test B, the compounds will likely react in the following order: 1 > 2 > 3. Compound 1 (1-bromo-2-butene) will react the fastest, followed by compound 2 (2-bromo-2-butene), and then compound 3 (1-bromobutane).
