Interpretation:
The configuration product that formed in the given reaction has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Elimination:
An atom or group are removed from saturated compound to give unsaturated
In elimination, the removal of halogen ion forms a carbocation followed by removal of hydrogen ion forms an alkene is known as E1 reaction.
The abstraction of proton and removal of leaving group takes simultaneously means it is E2 reaction because the
E1 elimination fallows saytzeff rule (more substituted alkene is formed).

- When 2-bromo-2-methylbutane is treated with a base, a mixture of 2-methyl-2-butene and 2-methyl-1- butene is produced. When potassium hydroxide is the base, 2-methyl-1-butene accounts for 45% of the product mixture. However, when potassium tert-butoxide is the base, 2-methyl-1-butene accounts for 70% of the product mixture. What percent of 2-methyl-1-butene would be in the mixture if potassium propoxide were the base? base Br A. Less than 45% B. C. 45% Between 45% and 70% D. More than 70%arrow_forwardTwo substitution products result from the reaction between 3-chloro-3-methyl-1- butene with sodium acetate (CH3COO – Na +) in acetic acid under SN1. Identify the products.arrow_forwardDraw the two resonance structures of the most stable allylic carbocation that forms when 1-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene reacts with HBr.arrow_forward
- The optically active (2R)-2-phenyl-2-butanol reacts in hydrochloric acid to form haloalkanes and alkenes. The substitution reaction is reported to occur with 100% racemization. Give the structures of the enantiomers that form during the substitution and indicate how much of each is formed. Propose a mechanism for the substitution reaction to yield the R product. What reagents would you use to achieve 100% retention of configuration. Two geometric isomers are obtained during the elimination reaction. Explain mechanistically which alkene will be the main product.arrow_forwardChoose the correct answer on the following questions: Zaitsev’s rule states that: the alkene with less alkyl substituents is the major product in base-induced elimination reactions the more highly substituted carbocation is formed as the intermediate rather than the less highly substituted one the alkene with more alkyl substituents is the major product in base-induced elimination reactions the less highly substituted carbocation is formed as the intermediate rather than the more highly substituted one Markovnikov rule states that: the alkene with less alkyl substituents is the major product in base-induced elimination reactions the more highly substituted carbocation is formed as the intermediate rather than the less highly substituted one the alkene with more alkyl substituents is the major product in base-induced elimination reactions the less highly substituted carbocation is formed as the intermediate rather than the more highly substituted one The Hoffman rule states that:…arrow_forwardDraw the structure of the starting material needed to make 2-methylhept-3-yne using sodium amide in liquid ammonia, followed by 1-bromopropane.

- The southern pine beetle utilizes a multi-component aggregation pheromone (one component shown below) to start mass colonization of healthy trees. The biosynthetic pathway involves the cyclization of this acetal from the straight chain structure. Draw the straight chain structure that could be used to form this acetal. Use wedges and dashes to correctly depict the stereochemistry.

- Aldehydes and ketones undergo acid-catalyzed reaction with alcohols to yield hemiacetals, compounds that have one alcohol-like oxygen and one ether-like oxygen bonded to the same carbon. Further reaction of a hemiacetal with alcohol then yields an acetal, a compound that has two ether-like oxygens bonded to the same carbon. Show the structure of the acetal that you would obtain by reaction of acetophenone with 2-propanol. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading. ?arrow_forwardCompound A(C7H15Br) is not a primary alkyl bromide. It yields a single alkene(compound B) on being heated with sodium ethoxide in ethanol. Hydrogenation of compound B yields 2,4-dimethylpentane. Identify compounds A and B.arrow_forwardPropene reacts with hydrogen bromide (HBr) at room temperature to produce, 1-bromopropane and 2-bromopropane. H2C=CHCH3 + HBr → CH2(Br)CH2CH3 + CH3CH(Br)CH3 Draw out the reaction mechanism of the reaction between propene and hydrogen bromide to produce 2-bromopropane. Use curly arrows to show the movement of electrons. The description should be detailed and must include the type of bond fission that takes place. You may sketch and insert suitable diagrams to aid your description if you wish. Referring to the above mechanism, explain why two products are formed in the reaction between propene and hydrogen bromide?arrow_forward
