Question

Organic Chemistry I: Please Solve this with a clear hand-writing.

This discussion is more in depth than previous discussion posts. A lot of chemicals are manufactured. Find a commonly manufactured chemical. You need to be able to embed the reaction, not just talk about it, so find a reaction scheme. (You need to see the structure of reactants, an arrow, and the structure of the products.)

Using your reaction scheme, describe what type of reaction it is. Don't use a bunch of words you haven't seen in this class yet - classify it as substitution, elimination, or addition. Look at the starting material and the conditions. Can you predict if it is a 1 or 2 mechanism (Sn1, Sn2, E1, E2?)? Explain your reasoning.

Try to draw a mechanism for one part of your reaction scheme. Embed that picture. Remember there is a curved arrow for every bond breaking and every bond being made.

For this discussion:

Embed a reaction scheme for a manufactured chemical. Predict what type of reaction is occurring. Explain why you came to that conclusion. Predict, draw, and embed a mechanism for that portion of the reaction scheme.
