Question

CHM 2430, s18, HW 4 Due: 11 am, Friday, March 23 Name 1. Can 1-iodo-3-methylbutane be made the reaction of 3-methybutan-1-ol with sodium lodide? Explain (Hint: Start by drawing the structures of the reactant and product then ask and answer the folilowing what type of reaction is this? Are the reactants good choices for this type of reaction?) 2. Two possible synthetic routes to cyclopropyl ethyl ether are shown below Which route, A, B, or both A and B, would you choose to make cyclopropyl ethyl ether? Justify your choice. Provide reasons for including one or both routes. Likewise, provide reasons if a route is exclude. (Hint keep in mind the type of reaction, its optimal conditions, and possible competing reactions 3. The major product of an E2 reaction may be a mixture of geometric (cis-trans or E/Z) isomers. This outcome depends on the structure of the starting haloalkane. Draw each listed possible alkene products and identfy the major product. Indicate whether cis-trans isomers are possible for the major product. a. 2-bromobutane haloalkane, all b. 2-chloro-2-methylbutane C. OVER
