Chapter 9: Q65P (page 446)
Draw the products of the following intramolecular reactions:
All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freea. Draw the structures of the products obtained from the reaction of each enantiomer of cis-1-chloro-2-isopropylcyclopentane with sodium methoxide in methanol.
b. Are all the products optically active?
c. How would the products differ if the starting material were the trans isomer? Are these products optically active?
d. Will the cis enantiomers or the trans enantiomers form substitution products more rapidly?
e. Will the cis enantiomers or the trans enantiomers form elimination products more rapidly?
Would you expect methoxide ion to be a better nucleophile if it is dissolved in CH3OH or if it is dissolved in DMSO? Why?
a. Identify the substitution products that form when 2-bromo-2-methylpropane is dissolved in a mixture of 80% ethanol and 20% water.
b. Explain why the same products are obtained when 2-chloro-2-methylpropane is dissolved in a mixture of 80% ethanol and 20% water.
Which alkyl halide in each pair is more reactive in an E2 reaction with hydroxide ion?
If 2-fluoropentane were to undergo an E1 reaction, would you expect the major product to be the more stable alkene or the less stable alkene? Explain your answer.
