4. (4 points) Given the conditions, finish the following reactions accordingly. Show the formation of a...
4. Predict the products of the following reactions & indicate whether they are most likely to go through an SN2, SN1, E1, or E2 mechanism. NaCN DMSO NaOH CH3OH heat Only one product is formed in the following E2 elimination reaction. Draw an arrow-pushing mechanism for the reaction and provide the correct product structure. Include a 3-D drawing (chair conformation) displaying proper stereochemistry of the transition state to explain formation of only the major product. CH3 •Br NaOCH3 ~"'CHS
How to properly solve these elimination and addition reactions Elimination and Addition reactions Purpose: Figuring out the ways that molecules react is the province of the mechanistic chemist. By understanding the mechanisms of reactions, the chemist can manipulate the experimental variables to favor one product over another. This element of control is the province of the synthetic organic chemist. This Workshop continues to explore how we know how molecules react and how this knowledge leads to control of the products....
