Question
Chapter 5, Problem 51DSP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The species that best describes the rate determining transition state is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The slowest step has the largest activation energy. This step is the rate determining step.
The transition state is the highest energy state. On a potential energy diagram, it appears between the reactants and the products.
In the transition state, the reactants are partially changed and the products have started forming.

2. a. Write the complete reaction equation along with all the products that might be formed if 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane has an elimination reaction.b. Give the name of all the productsc. Which one is the major products? Give the explaination for your answer by writing the mechanism.
a. Write the complete mechanism, step by step, for the reaction shown in the image A, in such a way that it explains the formation of the products (Please do not forget the correct use of arrows!).
b. Write the complete mechanism (suppose an E2), step by step of the reaction shown in the figure B, in such a way that it explains the formation of a single product (DO NOT FORGET THE CORRECT USE OF THE ARROWS!). Using structures, justify the formation of the chosen product and not others.
c. Write the complete mechanism (suppose a bimolecular reaction), step by step of the reaction shown in the figure C, in such a way that it explains the formation of all possible products (there are three). (DON'T FORGET TO USE THE ARROWS CORRECTLY!). Watch out for stereochemistry!
Read these directions carefully. For the reaction of 3-methyl-1-propene with Cl2 and H2O shown below, fill in the details of the mechanism. Draw the appropriate chemical structures and use an arrow to show how pairs of electrons are moved to make and break bonds during the reaction. Be sure to write all lone pairs of electrons and all formal charges. Finally, in the boxes provided by the arrows, write which kind of mechanistic element is being indicated, such as "make a bond", "add a proton", etc.
