Compounds X and Y are both C6H13Cl compounds formed in the radical chlorination

Question

Compounds X and Y are both C6H13Cl compounds formed in the radical chlorination of 3-methylpentane. Both X and Y undergo base-promoted E2 elimination to give a mixture of alkenes. In water X and Y each react to form a mixture of substitution and elimination products; however, X reacts much faster than does Y. What is the structure of Y? Do not use stereobonds in your answer. In cases where there is more than one possible structure for each molecule, just give one for each. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the dropdown menu in the bottom right comer. Separate structures with + signs from the dropdown menu. Identify the mechanism by which each of the reactions above proceeds from among the mechanisms listed. Use the letters a - I for your answers.

Explanation / Answer

A. The structure of compound Y is given as:

  

(B).    1 - b

         2 - e
