Chapter 23.7, Problem 12P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason why nitro group changes the relative leaving tendencies of carboxy and 2,4dinitrophenoxy group in the tetrahedral intermediate has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

  • Catalyst: Substance which helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction without getting consumed in the reaction.
  • Base Catalyst: A catalyst which helps in increasing the rate of a particular reaction by the removal of a proton. There are two types of catalysis:
  1. 1. Specific-base catalysis: Proton is completely removed before the slow step in a reaction
  2. 2. General- base catalysis: Proton is completely removed during the slow step in a reaction
  • Nucleophilic catalysis: A catalysis which takes place due to the formation of a covalent bond by a nucleophile with one of the reactants.
