Consider the following reaction.
$$CH_3CH(CH_3)CH_2Cl \xrightarrow{NaSH, acetonitrile} CH_3CH(CH_3)CH_2SH$$
Part 1 of 6
Identify the mechanism operating for this reaction. Select the single best answer.
$$S_N1$$
E1
$$S_N2$$
E2
Part 2 of 6
The $$S_N2$$ mechanism has a [second-order] rate law and proceeds in [one step].
Part 3 of 6
The nucleophile in this reaction is [HS-] and the leaving group is [Cl-].
Part 4 of 6
The electrons flow from the electron-rich atom of the nucleophile to the electron-poor atom of the alkyl halide, forming a new bond between them. Identify the electron-rich atom in the nucleophile. Enter the element symbol only, do not include any charges.
HS-
[S]
Part 5 of 6
The electrons flow from the electron-rich atom of the nucleophile to the electron-poor atom of the alkyl halide, forming a new bond between them. Highlight the electron-poor atom in the alkyl halide.
