Question

2. For the SN2 reaction depicted below, (a) please form all possible products and (b) draw the mechanism using curved arrow notation that explains the formation of these products. (5 pts) Br H e.. K:OCH2CH3 CH3 THF

Answer 1

At first , we must be clear , that , for only one type of nucleophile , S_N2 reaction generated a inversion in configuration that leads to only one product . The product is inverted in configuration from the reactant as a backside attack is the fundamental of mechanistic approach . Here , we discuss about the mechanism .

The answer is given in the attachment .

But , additionally , there are chances of E₂ reaction also besides S_N2 . In that case , two products are seen . They are -
