GIve the product of the reaction.


 


CH3-NO2 +   ----->    ?


Also tell the intermediate and show the mechanism.

i think the base will accept proton since the compound is acidic (due to no2 grp)


so product will be


ch2-no2(with a negative sign) and BH

CORRECT ME IF AM WRONG

Options are:



Carbocation

Carbonanion - not the answer

Carbene

OR something like that.

Just like aldehydes and ketones, the alpha-hydrogen of nitro compounds are also acidic. So treatment with a base will lead to formation of a resonance stabilized carbanion..

i think that ch3-B will be formed bu sn2 reaction as hno2 is a good leaving group... a transition state will be formed and then hno2 will leave.

Nup, the carbonanion is not the answer.

nup, neither transition state.

The answer is Carbocation.

the product will be CH3B and NO2 with a negative charge..


the mechanism would be sn2


n the intermidiate wiil be a partial bond between B and C and C would have delta positive charge as electrons would be attracted NO2 as it will be leavin group...


correct me if im wrong

but primary amines do not favour an sn1 reaction. the carbocation will not be stable at all (primary carbocation)... am i wrong there??
