Abstract:
The title compound, C17H18O2, crystallizes in two-dimensional sheets, in which the 2-(pentyloxy)dibenzo[b,d]furan molecules are arranged in a head-to-head and tail-to-tail fashion that enables hydrophobic interactions between fully extended 2-pentoxy chains and π-π stacking between dibenzofuran rings in adjacent rings. Nearest intermolecular π-π stacking contacts are 3.3731 (12) Å. The molecule is nearly planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0803 Å from the mean plane defined by the nineteen non-hydrogen atoms.

SN2 Reaction: Kinetics
In a chemical reaction, a relationship exists between the concentration of reactants and the rate at which the reaction proceeds. The study to measure this relationship is known as the kinetics of a chemical reaction. Kinetic studies are used to deduce the rate law of a chemical reaction, which provides information about the species involved during the transition state of the rate-determining step. Thus, kinetic studies help to derive the mechanism of a...
SN2 Reaction: Mechanism
The presence of the more electronegative halogen in the substrate creates a polarized carbon-halide bond. The halide pulls the electron cloud generating an electrophilic center at the carbon atom. Thus, the carbon atom carries a partial positive charge while the halide has a...
