Do all primary iodides react with N3- at the same rate via the SN2 mechanism? Explain.

Primary Iodides

Organic compounds where an iodine atom is bound to a primary carbon, typically involved in nucleophilic substitution reactions.

  • Engineer reactions through precise mechanisms (e.g., SS1U1B1NS1U1B02) and predict the makeup of major organic entities.
  • Ascertain components that shape nucleophilicity and put this conception to work in arranging or comparing nucleophiles.

Final Answer :
No, not all primary alkyl react with N3- at the same rate via the SN2 mechanism. Some primary iodides are more hindered than others. (CH3)3CCH2I and CH3CH2I are both primary, but (CH3)3CCH2I is significantly more hindered. Additionally, some primary iodides have increased activity due to a benzylic or allylic positioning.
