Question
Give the mechanistic symbol (Sn1, Sn2, E1, E2) that are most consistent with each statement. There can be multiple answers per part:
A. Represents concerted processes:
B: Requires anti-periplanar geometry
C: Most likely to have been involved when products are found to have different carbon skeleton from substrate:
D. Alkyl iodides react faster than alkyl bromides in reactions that proceed these mechanisms:
E. In ethanol that contains sodium ethoxide, 3-bromo-3-methylpentane reacts mainly by this mechanism:
Explanation / Answer
A. SN2 and E2 (both are one step process)
B. E2 (trans-anti geometry is required for E2 elimination to occur)
C. E1 and E2 (from saturated converted to unsaturated)
D. SN1, SN2 , E1 and E2
E. E1 (Substrate is sterically crowded and solvent is polar protic and also leaving group is -Br)
