Chapter 9.2, Problem 8P
The observed relative reactivities of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols with a hydrogen halide are 3o>2o>1o. If secondary alcohols were to undergo an SN2 reaction rather than an SN1 reaction with a hydrogen halide what would be the relative reactivities of the three classes of alcohols?

These alcohols can also be converted to alkenes by tosylation using TsCl and pyridine, followed by elimination using KOC(CH3)3 as a strong base. Under these basic conditions, the tosylate of cis-2-methylcyclohexanoleliminates to give mostly 1-methylcyclohexene, but the tosylate of trans-2-methylcyclohexanol eliminates to give only 3-methylcyclohexene. Explain how this stereochemical difference in reactants controls a regiochemical difference in the products of the basic elimination, but not in the acid-catalyzed elimination.arrow_forward
