Mechanism
14. a) The experimentally determined rate law for the reaction of ethyl bromide with OH- is:
-d[CH3CH2Br] = k[CH3CH2Br][OH-]
dt
I. Determine the overall order of the reaction.
Rate= k[CH3CH2Br][OH-] second order
II. Write the reaction mechanism consistent with the experimentally determined rate orders
for the reaction.
III. Draw a qualitative enthalpy profile for this mechanism, showing intermediates, activated
complexes and activation enthalpy. The process is exothermic.
PACY2000
b) In contrast, the experimentally determined rate law for the reaction of tert-butyl bromide with
OH- is:
-d[(CH3)3CBr] = k[(CH3)3CBr]
dt
I. Determine the overall order of the reaction.
Rate= k[H3C)3CBr] first order
II. Write the reaction mechanism consistent with the experimentally determined rate orders
for the reaction. Indicate the slow and fast step.
III. Draw a qualitative enthalpy profile for this mechanism, showing intermediates, activated
complexes and activation enthalpy. The process is exothermic.
(c) Why do the two reactions in a and b proceed by two completely different mechanisms?
In the SN2 mechanism the nucleophile attacks the carbon from the back, and this step can be
hindered by this carbon being attached o bulky methyl groups. Therefore in (a) SN2 is favoured
over SN1 because the primary carbon in CH3CH2Br is in a less sterically hindered environment
compared to the carbon in (H3C)3CBr
