4. Provide a mechanistic explanation for the following dehydration reaction. In other words, give the mechanism of the following transformation. A proper answer will show all appropriate arrow pushing and intermediates. H3O* HO- 5. Why might a poor yield of cyclohexene be realized if the dehydration that you did was carried out with HCl instead of H3PO4 as the acid catalyst?

Draw all possible alkenes that could be generated from an E2 elimination reaction of 3-bromo-3-methylhexane. Suggest conditions that can be used to make just one of the alkenes in a controlled manner (i.e., conditions that would lead to formation of just one alkene as the major product).
Draw a curved arrow mechanism that accounts for the cyclisation of 2 into F [ please make sure your mechanism takes into account stereochemical considerations including the stereoselectivity of the reaction and clearly indicate if a conrotatory or a disrotatory process is responsible for each of the transformations]. can you please explain how you decide and select the stereoselectivty and how to see if its conrotatory or disrotatory so that i can apply to similar questions. thank you
1. Draw a reasonable arrow-pushing mechanism for the transformation shown along. 2. Identify nucleophiles and electrophiles 3. Name any type of reactions taking place like E2 or E1 4. Account for any regio- or stereoselectivity
Any help with this would be great! Explanations definitely welcome, thanks in advance for any help:) What is the major product of the reactions?
For SN1 Explain if 3o ( tertiary) alkyl halides reacted (fastest or slowest) explain why. Be sure to explain if alkyl halides did not react or did react and why. 3o (tertiary) compounds listed are: 2-chloro-2-methylpropane (see picture) Base your explanations on the following considerations: the nature of leaving group, the effect of structure, steric hindrance and any other feature.
Can you help answer this problem and elaborate the steps clearly and show any reagent and intermediate steps?
Draw the major organic product you would expect to isolate from the reaction of p-bromoethoxybenzene with a misture of HNO3HNO3 and H2SO4H2SO4.
Can someone help me with these and explain how they did it? The question is to predict the major organic product of each reaction.
Provide a reasonable mechanism, including all curvy arrows and intermediates, for the following transformation
For each reaction shown, determine which substitution mechanism (SN1 or SN2) is likeliest to predominate, and provide two reasons to support your answer.
Please provide a curved-arrow mechanism for the following reaction. Be sure to use your mechanism and a few words to explain the regiochemistry of the bromines in the final product and why each carbocation intermediate in your mechanism is the preferred intermediate for that step. Include ALL lone pairs and formal charges. Thank you.
I was wondering if I could get help understanding mechanisms to complete this forward reaction and I'm having trouble with where to start with the starting material.
