(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

E2 elimination products of (2S,3S)-2-chloro-3-methylpentane drawn.

Concept Introduction:

An E2 reaction is a concerted, one-step reaction in which the proton and the halide ion are removed in the same step.

A strong base favours an E2 reaction.

A high concentration of a base favours an E2 reaction.

If one of the reactants is charged, an E2 reaction will be favoured by the least polar solvent that will dissolve the reactant. If neither of the reactant is charged an E2 reaction is favoured by the protic polar solvent.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

E2 elimination products of (2S,3R)-2-chloro-3-methylpentane drawn.

Concept Introduction:

The Hofmann product is favored by the E2 mechanism when 2-bromo-3-methylbutane is added: A. MeOH B. MeO:- in MeOH C. Nal in acetona D. (CH 3)3 CO:- in (CH 3),COH
When 2-bromo-3-phenylbutane is treated with sodium methoxide, two alkenes result (by E2 elimination). The Zaitsevproduct predominates.(a) Draw the reaction, showing the major and minor products.(b) When one pure stereoisomer of 2-bromo-3-phenylbutane reacts, one pure stereoisomer of the major product results.For example, when (2R,3R)-2-bromo-3-phenylbutane reacts, the product is the stereoisomer with the methyl groups cis.Use your models to draw a Newman projection of the transition state to show why this stereospecificity is observed
