Interpretation:
The product obtained in the reaction of when
Concept Introduction:
The
An E2 reaction is a concerted, one-step reaction in which the proton and the halide ion are removed in the same step.
For
A good nucleophile/strong base favors
In primary alkyl halides substitution take place.
In secondary alkyl halides substitution and elimination take place (strong. bulky bases and high temperatures favor elimination over substitution).
In tertiary alkyl halides only elimination takes place

- When cyclohexene is reacted with hydrobromic acid in acetic acid, the major product is bromocyclohexane. There is a small amount of cyclohexyl acetate formed. What is the mechanism that forms both compounds? What is the purification procedure that isolates both compounds?arrow_forwardDraw the structures of the following compound: 1-bromo-4-tert-butyl-7-(1-isopropoxyethyl)-8-methoxy-8-methyl-1,6-diphenyl-2,3-nonandiolarrow_forwardIdentify two alkenes that react with HBr to form 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane without undergoing a carbocation rearrangement.arrow_forward
- When 3-bromo-2,4-dimethylpentane is treated with sodium hydroxide, only one alkene is formed. Draw the product.arrow_forwardIf phenoxide ion is allowed to react with 1-bromopentane, pentyl phenyl ether is obtained. However, if cyclohexane is used as the alkyl halide, the major products are phenol and cyclohexene. Explain how these products were formed.arrow_forwardWhat is the major product formed when 3-methyl-1-butene is treated with Hg(C2H3O2)2 in a THF/ethanol mixture followed by NaBH4 in base?arrow_forward
