When n-butyl bromide is treated with sodium iodide (Nal) in ethanol (EtOH), the concentration of iodide quickly decreases, but then slowly returns to its original concentration. Provide an explanation for these observations, and identify the final product of the reaction. lodide displaces the bromide leaving group, and then bromide displaces the iodide leaving group. Olodide displaces the bromide leaving group, and the resulting n-butyl iodide undergoes an E2 elimination. Olodide displaces the bromide leaving group, and the resulting n-butyl iodide undergoes an E2 elimination. Olodide displaces the bromide leaving group, and the resulting n-butyl iodide undergoes a substitution with EtOH.

The following substances can be prepared by a nucleophilic addition reaction between an aldehyde or ketoneand a nucleophile. Identify the reactants from which they were prepared. If the substance is an acetal, identifythe carbonyl compound and the alcohol; if it is an imine or enamine, identify the carbonyl compound and theamine. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. In cases where there is more than one answer, just giveone. Use Grignard reagents when an organometallic reagent is required. Draw the Grignard reagent as acovalent magnesium bromide.
Propanal and propanone react in a similar way with acidified aqueous potassium cyanide, KCN. For this reaction to occur reasonably quickly, the pH of the solution should be approximately 4. The reaction of propanal proceeds with acidified potassium cyanide proceeds more rapidly than that of propanone. Referring to the mechanism of the reactions, explain this phenomenon.
A common illicit synthesis of methamphetamine involves an interesting variation of the Birch reduction. A solution of ephedrine in alcohol is added to liquid ammonia, followed by several pieces of lithium metal. The Birch reduction usually reduces the aromatic ring, but in this case it eliminates the hydroxy group of ephedrine to give methamphetamine. Propose a mechanism, similar to that for the Birch reduction, to explain this unusual course of the reaction.
When CO2 is bubbled through an ether solution of benzylmagnesium bromide and the resulting mixture is acidified, phenylacetic acid is produced. Any unreacted benzylmagnesium bromide is converted to toluene in the acidification step. Write the complete reaction sequence for the process described above.

Explain how the class I carbonyl compound reacts? What will be the product when ethylamine and propyl amine reacts with acetyl chloride? Why only one amide obtained after the reaction of acetyl chloride with a mixture of ethylamine and trimethylamine? Excess amine is required in the reaction of acetyl chloride with amine whereas excess alcohol is not required in the reaction of acetyl chloride and alcohol. Why?
