(S)-2-Butanol, instead of (R)-2-butanol, is obtained from the reaction between (R)-2-bromobutane with hydroxide ion. What kind of reaction is this (SN1,SN2,E1 OR E2) ? Explain briefly this inversion of configuration (i.e. (R) configuration for the reactant and (S) configuration for the product) and What is this inversion called?
Chemistry
Although the mechanism is similar, the entropy of activation is different for the protonated epoxide compared to the protonated ester when being attacked by water. Estimate the entropy of activation (ΔS) (choose from: -26 eu, -6 eu, +6 eu, or +26 eu) for both reactions and explain why they are different.
1. how many stereoisomers are possible for 9,10- dibromo hexadecanoic acid?
2. Addition of bromine to palmitoleic acid primarily yields a set of enantiomers, (±) -three-9,10-dibromo hexadecanoic acid. The addition of bromine is an anti-addition to the double bond (ie, it appears to occur through the intermediary of the bromonium ion). Taking into account the stereochemistry of the cis double bond of palmitoleic acid and the stereochemistry of adding bromine, Write a three-dimensional structure for (±) -three-9,10-dibromo hexadecanoic acid!
