Chapter 9, Problem 9.46P

When cis-4-chlorocyclohexanol is treated with sodium hydroxide in ethanol, it gives mainly the substitution product trans-1,4-cyclohexanediol (1). Under the same reaction conditions, trans-4-chlorocyclohexanol gives 3-cyclohexenol (2) and the bicyclic ether (3).

Chapter 9, Problem 9.46P, When cis-4-chlorocyclohexanol is treated with sodium hydroxide in ethanol, it gives mainly the

  1. (a) Propose a mechanism for formation of product (1), and account for its configuration.
  2. (b) Propose a mechanism for formation of product (2).
  3. (c) Account for the fact that the bicyclic ether (3) is formed from the trans isomer but not from the cis isomer.

Treatment of trans-2-chlorocyclohexanol with NaOH yields 1, 2-epoxy-cyclohexane, but reaction of the cis isomer under the same conditions yields cyclohexanone. Propose mechanisms for both reactions, and explain why the different results are obtained.
When 3-methyl-1-butene reacts with HBr, two alkyl halides are formed: 2-bromo-3-methylbutane and 2-bromo-2-methylbutane. Propose a mechanism that explains the formation of these two products.
In a strongly acidic solution, cyclohexa-1,4-diene tautomerizes to cyclohexa-1,3-diene.Propose a mechanism for this rearrangement, and explain why it is energetically favorable
