- The SN1 mechanism starts with the rate-determining step which is the dissociation of the alkyl halide into a carbocation and a halide ion. The next step is the rapid reaction of the carbocation intermediate with the nucleophile; this step completes the nucleophilic substitution stage. The step that follows the nucleophilic substitution is a fast acid-base reaction. The nucleophile now acts as a base to remove the proton from the oxonium ion from the previous step, to give the observed product. Draw a curved arrow mechanism for the reaction, adding steps as necessary. Be sure to include all nonzero formal charges.arrow_forwardshow the missing reagents and intermediates in the reaction sequence belowarrow_forwardSeveral reagents and several organic structures are shown below. Construct a multistep synthetic route from the reactant 2-methyl-1-butene to the product 3-bromo-2-methyl-2-butanol by dragging the appropriate pieces into the bins. Note that each bin will hold only one item, and not every given reagent or structure will be used.arrow_forward
- Can you help answer this problem and elaborate the steps clearly and show any reagent and intermediate steps?arrow_forwardDraw the molecule: Under second-order conditions (strong base/nucleophile), SN2 and E2 reactions may occur simultaneously and compete with each other.Show what products might be expected from the reaction of 2-bromo-3-methylbutane (a moderately hindered 2∘∘ alkyl halide) with sodium ethoxide. Do not worry about sterechemistry inther SN2 product for this problem. Don't forget about stereochemistry.arrow_forwardAlcohols react with sulfonyl chlorides to form sulfonate esters. Only the O-H bond of the alcohol is broken in the reaction, and so no inversion of configuration occurs. The resulting sulfonate esters are reactive in SN1 and SN2 reactions since the sulfonate group is a very weak base and is therefore a good leaving group.Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.arrow_forward

Show the mechanism using acid catalyzed tautomerization to achieve final product arrow_forwardBiaryls, compounds containing two aromatic rings joined by a C–C bond, can often be efficiently made by two different Suzuki couplings; that is, either aromatic ring can be used to form the organoborane needed for coupling. In some cases, however, only one route is possible. With this in mind, synthesize each of the following biaryls using benzene as the starting material for each aromatic ring. When more than one route is possible, draw both of them. You may use any required organic or inorganic reagents.arrow_forward
- For each of the questions below – determine whether the following combinations of reactants, will react by substitution (SN1 or SN2 mechanism), elimination (E1 or E2 mechanism) or will not react under the conditions given. draw the final structure and explain the logic for each decision. There may be multiple possible options for some reactions. You must include all 4 aspects of these reactions, substrate, nucleophile, solvent and leaving group in the decisionarrow_forwardWhen the allylic alkyl bromide shown below is heated in ethanol solvent, the major elimination product isolated is the diene shown below. A) Propose a mechanism to account for this overall transformation. Use normal curved arrows to show movement of electron pairs and be sure to draw structures for all important reaction intermediates. If an intermediate is a resonance hybrid, draw all important contributing resonance structures. B) The same alkyl bromide shown above also yields several substitution products when subjected the reaction conditions described above. Draw the structure of the major substitution product that would be isolated in the box on the product side of the reaction arrow. The second picture is for the B part of the questionarrow_forwardComplete the following reaction schemes. Some may take more than one step and some may have several routes to the product.arrow_forward
