Optically pure R 2-bromopentane reacted with Nal in acetone to give optically pure S-2-lodopentane. The rate of this reaction was found to depend on the concentrations of both 2-bromopentane and Nal. Propose a mechanism for this reaction. Be sure to show the flow of electrons structure of any reactive intermediates and the transition state of the reaction. H. Br Nal acetone

The reaction of butan-2-ol with concentrated aqueous HBr goes with partial racemization, giving more inversion thanretention of configuration. Propose a mechanism that accounts for racemization with excess inversion.(b) Under the same conditions, an optically active sample of trans-2-bromocyclopentanol reacts with concentrated aqueous HBr to give an optically inactive product, (racemic) trans-1,2-dibromocyclopentane. Proposea mechanism to show how this reaction goes with apparently complete retention of configuration, yet withracemization. (Hint: Draw out the mechanism of the reaction of cyclopentene with Br2 in water to give thestarting material, trans-2- bromocyclopentanol. Consider how parts of this mechanism might be involved in thereaction with HBr.)
