With POCl3, If dehydration is not possible, a substitution can occur instead. Provide a mechanism to account for the formation of this compound. Be sure that your steps are as simple as possible and conform to the conditions of the reaction.
Peroxides are often added to free-radical reactions as initiators because the oxygen–oxygen bond cleaves homolytically rather easily. For example, the bond-dissociation enthalpy of the O¬O bond in hydrogen peroxide (H¬O¬O¬H) is only 213 kJ>mol (51 kcal>mol). Give a mechanism for the hydrogen peroxide-initiated reaction of cyclopentane with chlorine. The BDE for HO¬Cl is 210 kJ>mol (50 kcal>mol).

OCHEM... Give a detailed reaction mechanism for the reaction expected to occur when 2-bromo-2-methylpentane is heated with methanol. Draw clear structural formulas of all relevant species and use curved arrows to represent electron flow. Also, indicated which step is likely to be rate-determining.
- For the dehydration shown, use curved arrows to show the formation of the carbocation intermediate in the presence of sulfuric acid H2SO4H2SO4, then draw the structures of the minor and major products of the elimination. Picture: Cyclohexane (no double or triple bonds) with a methyl group and an alcohol group (HO 4e- on O) on C1 (bottom) reacting with H2SO4 -> "Major and Minor Products" -The H2SO4H2SO4 is abbreviated as H+H+ in the drawing module. Do not delete any pre‑drawn bonds, charges, or lone pairs. If you accidentally make a mistake, remove the last change by using the undo button on the lower left or revert the drawing palette to the original state by selecting the More menu, then select Reset Drawing. Step 1: Use curved arrows to complete the protonation mechanism of the alcohol. Step 2: Use a curved arrow to show the formation of the carbocation intermediate for the elimination.

Q3. 2-Bromopentane, when treated with ‎ alcoholic KOH yields a mixture of three alkenes A, B and C. Identify A, B and C. Which is predominant? ‎ Q4 Which statement below about Sn1 reactions is incorrect? (A) SN1 reactions are stepwise and have intermediates. (B) The slow step in a SN1 reaction is formation of the carbocation intermediate. (C) SN1 reactions have first order kinetics which means only the alkyl halide is involved in the rate limiting step. (D) The products of a SN1 reaction will be a pair of enantiomers. (E) An aprotic solvent is best for Sn1 reactions as they tend to help stabilize carbocation intermediates.
