Abstract:
In the crystal structure of the title compound, NH(4) (+)·PF(6) (-)·C(12)H(24)O(6), the cation is situated in the 18-crown-6 ring, forming a supra-molecular rotator-stator-like structure held by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The six O atoms of the crown ether lie approximately in a plane [mean deviation 0.2129 (3) Å]; the N atom is displaced by 0.864 (3)Å from the centroid of the 18-crown-6 ring. The slightly distorted tetra-hedral cations further inter-act with the slightly distorted octa-hedral anions via inter-molecular N-H⋯F hydrogen bonds.

02:15SN1 Reaction: Stereochemistry
In the first step of an SN1 reaction, the bond between the electrophilic carbon and the leaving group ionizes to generate the carbocation intermediate. The second step of the mechanism is the nucleophilic attack.
In the formed carbocation, the positively charged carbon is sp2 hybridized with a trigonal planar geometry. As all the three substituents lie on the same plane, a plane of symmetry for the...

However, Sir Christopher Ingold and Edward D. Hughes, who studied the kinetics of various nucleophilic substitution reactions, noticed that a tertiary alkyl halide does undergo a nucleophilic substitution reaction in the presence of a weak nucleophile. While studying the substitution...
02:25SN1 Reaction: Mechanism
Firstly, the haloalkane ionizes to generate a carbocation intermediate and a halide ion. This heterolytic cleavage is highly endothermic with large activation energy. The ionization of the substrate, facilitated by a...
02:42Acidity of 1-Alkynes
The acidic strength of hydrocarbons follows the order: Alkynes > Alkenes > Alkanes. The strength of an acid is commonly expressed in units of pKa — the lower the pKa, the stronger the acid. Among the hydrocarbons, terminal alkynes have lower pKa values and are, therefore, more acidic. For example, the pKa values for ethane, ethene, and acetylene are 51, 44, and 25, respectively, as shown here.
