2. Above is S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). Note that R'-S-R is a very good leaving group. You do not need to know anything else about sulfur to answer this question. a) SAM is famous for being a biological methylating agent. Draw a classical organic methylation reaction between [CH3-CH2-CH2-O]¯ and CH3Br using the arrow formalism, clearly indicating the product. b) Among all of the elements in the above reaction, which has the greatest electronegativity? c) Write a rate law for this reaction: d[P]/dt = d) In the above rate law, what are the units of k? e) Examining the structure of SAM, you notice that three different carbon atoms are bound to sulfur. Circle these carbon atoms and label them (starting from the 12 o'clock position and going clockwise) #1, #2, and #3. Which of these, if any, are chiral carbons?

1. Draw and name all the noncyclic constitutional isomers of pentene C5H10. (Without cyclic structures, there are five.). Follow the steps given below. Step 1. The three possible carbon skeletons with 5 carbons and 10 hydrogens in the respective boxes provided below has already been drawn for you. Step 2. Use the different carbon skeletons as a starting point to draw isomers with different double bond locations within each structure. Draw the partially expanded or line structural formulas of the isomers that arise from varying the location of the double bond f in the left column (add the hydrogen atoms for clarification). The number of possible isomers (structural arrangements) of each carbon skeleton is provided. Step 3. Name the IUPAC isomers in the right column. Step 4.
