On the attached picture.
Explanation:
Hello,
In the case, the reaction between 2-iodooctane and sodium nitrite, leads to the formation of an alkyl nitrite and a nitro alkane as shown on the attached picture. Once the reaction began, the salt breaks and the sodium bonds with the iodine from the 2-iodooctane to form sodium iodide, in such a way, a free radical in the second carbon is formed so the NO₂ could bond both as a nitrite and as a nitro radical; therefore, the formed species are octyl 2-nitrite and 2-nitrooctane.
Best regards.
