  Custom eBook for Organic Chemistry, Chapter 8, Problem 37CTQ

Concept introduction: The carbon-carbon double bond in alkene consists of a strong σ bond (formed by overlap of sp2 hybridized orbital on each carbon) and a weak π bond (formed by overlap of pure p orbital on each carbon). Due to unsaturation, alkene shows addition reaction where the double bond provides loosely held π electrons and is readily attacked by any electron deficient group like H+ ions released from acids. The loosely held π electrons are present, therefore, behave as base though weak one.

Several 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.
Please answer the two items. The following compounds are major products of an elimination reaction with an alkyl halide. Determine the structure of the alkyl halide. Write the overall reaction mechanism. Tip: Remember your Markovnikov’s rule. Follow the progress of the reaction and look at the stability of the intermediate products and transition states to determine the minor and major products.
