Chapter 9: Q26P (page 421)

Four alkenes are formed from the E1 reaction of 3-bromo-2,3-dimethylpentane and methoxide ion. Draw the structures of the alkenes and rank them according to the amount that would be formed.

Short Answer

Expert verified

1. It is a two step reaction.

2. In this carbocation is formed.

3. In this negative ion will attack from the side where there is less number of bulkier groups.

4. As the carbocation intermediate is formed so the stability order 3° carbocation>2° carbocation>1° carbocation

Methoxychlor is an insecticide that was intended to take DDT’s place because it is not as soluble in fatty tissues and is more readily biodegradable. It, too, can accumulate in the environment, however, so its use was also banned—in 2002 in the European Union and in 2003 in the United States. Why is methoxychlor less soluble in fatty tissues than DDT?
