Di- n- pentyl ether can be converted to 1- bromopentane by treatment with HBr through essentially a(n) ________ mechanism.
1 answer:
Answer:
SN1 mechanism
Explanation:
The mechanism of this reaction is shown in the image attached.
The Di- n- pentyl ether is first protonated. The CH3(CH2)4OH is now a good leaving group as shown.
The attack of the bromide ion on the cation formed completes the mechanism to yield 1- bromopentane as shown in the mechanism.
