Question

For each reaction below add all missing lone pairs electrons on the structure, label the halides as (1°, 2° or 3°, draw the mechanism arrows, the transition state, and the products. Assign the configuration of any stereocenters in the reactant and in the product. 1. (2pts) CI OCH2CH3 2.(2pts) Cl

Please include all that it says in the directions to include. I'm having trouble understanding the substitution and elimination reactions so the more work the better. Thank you!

Answer 1

Answer:

Primary Carbon EcE2 OCH2CH3 a) OCH2CH3 (S)-1-chloro-3-methylpentane (S)-1-ethoxy-3-methylpentane Its an elimination reaction by E2 mechanism. The stereoc entre is not involved in reaction hence no change in stereochemistry of reactant occurs b) Rec Secondary Carbon E1 + E2 orci mixed mechanism + Substitution reaction occurs.
