Ketone 1 gives two different bicyclic products depending on the base used: when treated with potassium tert-butoxide at room temperature, it produces ketone 2, while when treated with LDA at low temperatures and then heated, it produces ketone 3. Write arrow-pushing mechanisms for the formation of both 2 and 3 and explain why the reaction conditions favor each product.

What are the mechanisms and major/minor products when 2-Chloro-2-Methylbutane reacts with A.) Potassium Hydroxide in 1-propanol+Heat B.)Potassium tert-butoxide in tertbutyl alcohol+heat I know they proceed via E2 reaction mechanism but need help figuring out the steps and the major and minor products. Also if you could offer a brief explanation of why the mechanism reacts the way it does I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
3. When 2-ethylcyclohexanone is treated with LDA (in the solvent THF), followed by ethyl bromide, two different alkylated products are formed. Answer the following questions about this reaction. 1) LDA THE two products 2) CH CH Br 3. a. What is LDA and what is its purpose? 3. b. Draw mechanisms for the reactions and show how the two different products are formed. Product A Mechanism Product B Mechanism 3. c. Draw an energy diagram for the formation of both...
8) When 1-bromo-2 methylcyclohexane is treated with methanol and heat, four different products are formed- two by substitution and two by elimination. Provide plausible mechanisms for each product (individually). (5 pts each) OCH3 CH3 CH2 CH3 CH3 OCH3
