The following reaction takes place under second-order conditions (strong nucleophile), yet the structure of the product shows rearrangement. Also, the rate of this reaction is several thousand times faster than the rate of substitution of hydroxide ion on 2-chlorobutane under similar conditions. Propose a mechanism to explain the enhanced rate and rearrangement observed in this unusual reaction. (“Et” is the abbreviation for ethyl.
Which of the following compounds are chiral? Draw each compound in its most symmetric conformation, star any asymmetric carbon atoms, and draw any mirror planes. Label any meso compounds. You may use Fischer projections if you prefer.
(a) meso-2,3-dibromo-2,3-dichlorobutane
(b) -2,3-dibromo-2,3-dichlorobutane
(c) (2R,3S)-2-bromo-3-chlorobutane
(d) (2R,3S)-2,3-dibromobutane
(e) (R,R)-2,3-dibromobutane
(f)

Question: Oxidation of a primary alcohol to an aldehyde usually gives some over-oxidation to the carboxylic acid. Assume you have used PCC to oxidize pentan-1-ol to pentanal.
(b). Which of the expected impurities cannot be removed from pentanal by acid-base extractions? How would you remove this impurity?
