- 3-Chloro-1-butene reacts with sodium ethoxide in ethanol to produce 3-ethoxy-1- butene. The reaction is second order, first order in 3-chloro-1-butene, and first order in sodium ethoxide. In the absence of sodium ethoxide, 3-chloro-1-butene reacts with ethanol to produce both 3-ethoxy-1-butene and 1-ethoxy-2-butene. Explain these results.arrow_forwardDraw an energy diagram for each reaction.
