In the second paragraph you should explain why 2-chloro-2-methylpropane reacts with water via the SN1 mechanism instead of the SN2 mechanism, and then write the steps in the mechanism for this reaction. Then write the balanced equation for the reaction between 2-methyl-2-chloropropane and water. One of the products of this reaction is HCl. The rate at which HCl is produced is equal to the rate at which 2-chloro-2-methylpropane is consumed. In this experiment, the HCI will be neutralized by incremental addition of a sodium hydroxide solution. Write the balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and HCI.
Give a detailed reaction mechanism for the reaction expected to occur when 2-bromo-2-methylpentane is heated with sodium methoxide.

The answer you sent before will be used for this question.
Using the curved arrow convention, write a detailed, step-by-step mechanism for the reaction of 2-methyl-2-butanol with HCl to produce 2-chloro-2-methylbutane and water.

Convert 2-pentanol into 2,3-dibromopentane. Draw structures of the starting material (2-pentanol) and final product (2,3-dibromopentane), and show the two reactions needed for this synthesis. Include the structure of the intermediate compound, and the reagents and conditions for each reaction. Then explain why 1,2-dibromopentane would not be a significant product of this synthesis.

Read these directions carefully. For the reaction of 3-methyl-1-propene with Cl2 and H2O shown below, fill in the details of the mechanism. Draw the appropriate chemical structures and use an arrow to show how pairs of electrons are moved to make and break bonds during the reaction. Be sure to write all lone pairs of electrons and all formal charges. Finally, in the boxes provided by the arrows, write which kind of mechanistic element is being indicated, such as "make a bond", "add a proton", etc.
Propose a structure for an aromatic hydrocarbon, C3H10, that can form three C3H,Br products on substitution of a hydrogen on the aromatic ring with bromine. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. In cases where there is more than one answer, just give one. • Ignore the ortho, para-directing effects of the alkyl groups in answering this question. Consider only the number of nonequivalent hydrogens on the aromatic ring. .... ChemDoodle
