OH⁻, BeCl₂ and SiF₄ are Lewis acids whereas, Mg²⁺ is a Lewis base.

<h3>What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?</h3>
  • According to the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, acids accept pairs of electrons and bases donate pairs of electrons.
  • Any substance like H+ ion, which is capable of accepting a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair acceptor is known as a Lewis acid.
  • Any substance, like the OH- ion, that is capable of donating a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair donor is a Lewis base.
  • Here OH⁻, BeCl₂ and SiF₄ are electron deficient whereas, Mg²⁺ donates the electrons to other species present in the reaction.
  • From the Lewis theory, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms, acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons.

Reaction of (r)-2-chloro-4-methylhexane with excess nai in acetone gives racemic 2-iodo-4-methylhexane. what is the explanation
saveliy_v [14]

I believe this question has the following five choices to choose from:

 

>an SN2 reaction has occurred with inversion of configuration

>racemization followed by an S N 2 attack

>an SN1 reaction has taken over resulting in inversion of configuration

>an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation

>an SN1 reaction followed by an S N 2 “backside” attack

 

 

The correct answer is:

an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation
