Determining order of reactivity


Assignment:

Q1. Select an alkyl halide and a nucleophile that will give each of the following products:

a. CH3C≡CCH2CH3

b. CH3CH2OCH2CH3

c. CH3CH2SCH3

d. (CH3)2CHCH2OH

Q2. Draw out each of the following equations in a way that shows clearly the stereochemistry of the reactants and products.

a. (R)-3-chlorohexane+sodium methoxide(in methanol) → Sn2 → 3-methoxyhexane

b. (S)-2-chlorobutane+methanol → Sn2→ 2-methoxybutane

Q3. Determine the order of reactivity for (CH3)2CHCH2Br, (CH3)3CBr, and CH3CHBrCH2CH3

Reacting with

a. CH3OH(methanol)

b. NaSH(sodium hydrosulfide)

Q4. Tell all possible products you expect and by what mechanism they are formed for each of the following reactions:

a. 2-chlorohexane+ethanol →

b. 2-chlorohexane+sodiumethoxide(inethanol) →

c. 2-chlorohexane+sodiumhydrosulfide →

5. Give the structures of all possible products when 2-chlorobutane reacts by the E-2 mechanism.

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
