Question 1

Which of the following statements is true of polar aprotic solvents?
◦ They are capable of hydrogen bonding.
◦ They are relatively uncommon.
◦ They can increase the rate of SN2 reactions by orders of magnitude.
◦ They favor SN1 reactions.

Question 2

Why do polar aprotic solvents favor SN2 reactions?
◦

Polar aprotic solvents can't stabilize anions and therefore nucleophiles are more reactive.


◦ Protic solvents destabilize nucleophiles and that reduces the likelihood of reaction.
◦ Hydrogen bonding stabilizes the reaction intermediates.
◦ Hydrogen bonding stabilizes the leaving group.
