Consider the reaction
CH3CH2CH2Br + NaCN CH3CH2CH2CN + NaBr
This reaction will be the fastest in
ethanol
methanol
N, N' -dimethylformamide (DMF)
water
As we learnt in
SN2 Substitution Nucleophilic bimolecular -
These reactions proceed in only one step.
- wherein
This reaction carried out in polar aprotic solvent. N, N-Dimethyl formanide is polar aprotic Solvent.
