11. Trans-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane will yield a non-Zaitsev elimination product (3- methylcyclohexene) upon reaction with KOH. Show this reaction by drawing the chair conformations of the reactant and product. Include the curved arrows and explain why the product is not a non-Zaitsev product. (
Dehydrohalogenation of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopropane affords two alkenes (A and B) as products. Explain why A is the major product despite the fact that it contains the less substituted double bond.
When buta-1,3-diene (CH2 = CH – CH = CH2) is treated with HBr, two constitutional isomers are formed, CH3CHBrCH = CH2 and BrCH2CH = CHCH3. Draw a stepwise mechanism that accounts for the formation of both products.
