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.

nitriles can be obtained by the reaction of sodium cyanide with an alkyl halide. starting from hexyl bromide, hexyl cyanide is obtained. If this reaction is carried out in methanol, the reaction is completed after 20 hours of heating, whereas only 20 minutes are required if the reaction is carried out in dimethyl sulfoxide propose an explanation for the effect of the solvent on the observed reactivity, why could the time taken be longer
Another mechanism for the formation of epoxides is through the formation of a chlorohydrin. Alkenes react with chlorine in the presence of H₂O to give a chlorohydrin via a cyclic chloronium ion intermediate. When the chlorohydrin is treated with strong base, HCI is eliminated and the epoxide is formed. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.

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.
