Previously (p. 1120) we mentioned that the formylation of benzene (i.e., the replacement of H by Hc=0) cannot be carried out through a standard Friedel-Crafts acylation because methanoyl chloride (formyl chloride) cannot be added directly. The Gattermann-Koch synthesis circumvents this problem by making methanoyl chloride in situ (shown at the right), using a gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrochloric acid at high pressures.

Outline a mechanism for the formation of the compound. Please use software to draw the reaction
Understanding different substitution and elimination pathways gives useful insight into chemical mechanisms and pathways. Give the different important aspects of the Sn1, Sn2, E1, E2, and E2cB reactions.
Consider the following statement in reference to SN1, SN2, E1, and E2 reactions of haloalkanes. To which mechanism(s), if any, does the statement apply? Involves retention of configuration at the site of substitution.
Show and label the mechanism for the SN2 reaction using the generic chemical species and electron movement. Notice that the reaction does include a negative charge on the nucleophile.
Intramolecular reactions are also observed in Friedel–Crafts alkylation. Draw the intramolecular alkylation product formed from attached reactants. (Watch out for rearrangements)
The sodium iodide test is used to identify primary alkyl halides and it also takes place via a substitution reaction.Describe the test including the reactions that explain the full mechanism. Explain whether this reaction follows aSN1 or a SN2 mechanism.

Provide a reasonable mechanism for the transformation illustrated below.
How does increasing base, solvent, or alkyl halide or aptly halide + base affect or decreasing them affect the reaction rate for e2/e1 and sn2/sn1? Please provide examples
(2) For the following is a 3-step synthesis problem, you are given: the Starting Material and the Product; a scheme of the expected conditions/intermediates and a list of 21 possible conditions and intermediates. Put the correct conditions/intermediates in the correct order to achieve this transformation.
This reaction is also an important reaction of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in cells, wherein the reaction occurs in neutral solution, so the acid groups are both ionized to the carboxylate form. The reaction is catalyzed by the stereospecific enzyme fumarase that utilizes only the trans form of 2-butenedioate ion (also known as fumarate) and produces only the (S)-2-hydroxysuccinate enantiomer (also known as (S)-malate). Draw the correct stereochemical structures of these two compounds of the fumarase-catalyzed reaction. Be sure to include all hydrogen atoms and show the carboxylates as anions.
