You have learned how secondary alkyl halides are usually good substrates for SN1 and SN2 reactions. Chlorocyclopropane, however, will not react under either of the following conditions: (a) sodium methoxide in methanol or (b) methanol. Explain non-verbally why the two conversions fail.
(a) A student was given a task to synthesize the products as shown below. Analyze the reaction schemes below and state whether the reaction conditions supplied in each reaction scheme will result in the products shown as MAJOR PRODUCTS. If wrong products are shown, draw the correct products and provide mechanistic details (curly arrows) of how the right (major) products were formed. of (i) NaN 3 EtOH
A chemist proposes that the reaction shown here proceeds by an SN2 mechanism. She carries out the reaction with oxygen-18 (180)-labeled hydroxide in 180-labeled water (i.e., 18OH/H2180). When analyzing the products, she finds that the 180 isotope appeared only in CH3CO, and not in CH3OH. What does this result suggest about her hypothesis? A CH3 H,C-ÖH H3C H,O H3C
