When 2-bromo-3-methylbutane reacts with ethanol,two products are formed, 2-ethoxy-3-methylbutane and 2-ethoxy-2-methylbutane.
1.Give an explanation for the two products.
2. Draw the full mechanism for the formation of the second product. (mechanism should have fours steps in total, including a deprotonation step.)
Please show all work!
1) The reaction of ethanol with 2-bromo-3-methylbutane proceeds via SN1 mechanism which involves the formation of a carbocation intermediate. In this case one product is formed from the carbocation arising directly out of C-Br bond dissociation.
However, the original carbocation can also rearrange via 1,2- hydride shift to give a more stable carbocation. This rearranged more stable carbocation gives rise to the second product.

2-Bromo-2-methylbutane undergoes an E1 elimination reaction in the presence of ethanol. In the next reaction only one of the possible products is represented. Although the product shown is not the major product of the reaction, notice that there is more than one way it can be produced. Complete the mechanism and draw the missing substances. Draw all missing reactants and/or products in the appropriate boxes by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds, including charges where needed....

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!
On standing, 2-bromo-3-methylbutane is converted into 2-bromo-2-methytbutane. Propose a curved-arrow mechanism for this transformation. The reaction of butylamine, CH_3(CH_2)NH_2, with 1-bromoethane in 60% aqueous ethanol follows the rate law Rate = k[butylamine][1-bromobutane] The product of the reaction is (CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2)_2NH_2-Br^-. The following very similar reaction, however, has a first order rate law: Give a mechanism for each reaction that is consistent with its rate law and with other facts about nucleophilic substitution reactions. Use the curved-arrow formalism.
(a) When cis-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane undergoes an E2 reaction, two products (cycloalkenes) are formed. What are these two cycloalkenes, and which would you expect to be the major product? Write conformational structures showing how each is formed. (b) When trans-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane reacts in an E2 reaction, only one cyclo- alkene is formed. What is this product? Write conformational structures showing why it is the only product.
