1.Why does benzyl bromide react under both SN1 and SN2 conditions? Why is bromobenzene unreactive under both SN1 and SN2 conditions?

2. If bromobenzene reacts faster than chlorocyclohexane in an SN2 reaction, what could be the reason?

Question about SN1 and SN2 reactions. In my lab we prepared 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol (SN2) and 2-chloro-2-methylbutane from 2-methyl-2-butanol (SN1). I don't undetstand the following questions: 1. Why did we heat the SN2 reaction but not the SN1 reaction? 2. What was the purpose of performing a simple distillation on both reactions? What were you isolating your products from? 3. What was the purpose of washing both of oyur reaction mixtures with brine (saturated sodium chloride)?

What role does the leaving group play on the rate of SN1 versus SN2 reactions? (compare 1-bromo to 1 chloro, 2-bromo to 2-chloro etc).What role does the structure of the substrates play on the rate of SN1 versus SN2 reactions (compare primary,secondary and tertiary that may have the same leaving group) where is the chiral carbon located?
