Chapter 3, Problem 18P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Various products formed from the pyrolysis of butane with regard to only C – C bond cleavage as initial step should be written.

Concept introduction: Long-chain petroleum hydrocarbons can be broken down unless highly elevated temperatures are used. At extremely elevated temperature the C–C bond and C – H undergoes homolytic cleavage. This process generates radicals and is essentially the first step of pyrolysis. If no oxygen is available the radical formed in initial phase may recombine with one another and result in variety of alkanes. For example, the pyrolysis of hexane occurs via homolytic fission of either C1–C2 or C2–C3 or C3–C4. The radicals generated undergo combinations as illustrated below:

Thus the products have new covalent bonds formed as results of electrons contributed from different atoms.

Using the curved arrow convention, write a detailed, step-by-step mechanism for the reaction of 2-methyl-2-butanol with HCl to produce 2-chloro-2-methylbutane and water. Label the rate-determining step and state the reaction type. How would doubling the concentration of HCl affect the rate of this reaction in 1A? Write the rate equation for this reaction.
For the given Sy2 reaction, draw the organic and inorganic products of the reaction, and identify the nucleophile, substrate, and leaving group. Include wedge-and-dash bonds and draw hydrogen on a stereocenter. :CEN Organic product Inorganic product + Draw the organic product. Draw the inorganic product. Incorrect
I have this task in organic chemistry (book: Brown's introduction to organic chemisty, global edition). Task 10:42.  In (a) I have to tell what the funcion of K2CO3 is in step 1. Is it that CO32- take the hydrogen atom in 1-napthol? Will it then be a SN2 mechanism? In (b) I have to name the amine used in step 2 to form Propanolol. But I can't really find out how to come up with an amine that will make that reaction. Here are two pictures of the task:
