3-Chloro-2-methylpropene reacts with sodium methoxide in methanol to form 3-methoxy-2-methylpropene. For each of the following changes in the reaction conditions, state whether the reaction rate would increase, decrease, or remain the same. Explain your reasoning. In some cases the identity of the major organic product would be expected to change; in such cases, give the expected major product. (a) dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is used in place of methanol (b) methanol is used by itself without sodium methoxide (c) 1-chloro-2,2,-dimethylpropane is used in place of 3-chloro-2-methylpropene
When exactly 1 mole of methane is mixed with exactly 1 mole of chlorine and light is shone on the mixture, a chlorination reaction occurs. The products are found to contain substantial amounts of di-, tri-, and tetrachloromethane, as well as unreacted methane. Explain how a mixture is formed from this stoichiometric mixture of reactants, and propose mechanisms for the formation of these compounds from chloromethane.
[Rh(PPh3)3Cl] is a precatalyst that can be activated by dissociation of a phosphine ligand to form an active catalyst, B, which is used in the hydrogenation of alkenes. The active catalyst can then undergo oxidative addition in the presence of H2 to form complex C. Propene coordinates to C to form complex D, which then undergoes a 1,2- insertion step to form E. Reductive elimination of propane from E regenerates the active catalyst B. Draw complexes B – E and hence provide a full catalytic cycle, including the activation step, for the hydrogenation of propene

2,2-dimethylpropane only reacts with bromine in a solvent of CCl4. The presence of sunlight is required in this reaction. Specify the type of reaction and show the complete mechanism for the reaction occurred. This is a free radical halogenation, however I don't understand what it meant by "only recats with bromine in a solvent of CCL4"... can I have some explanation :(
