When the alkyl bromides (listed here) were subjected to hydrolysis in a mixture of ethanol and water (80% EtOH/20% H20) at 55°C, the rates of the reaction showed the following order: (CH3)3CB > CH3B > CH3CH2Br > (CH3)2CHBR Provide an explanation for this order of reactivity. Two different mechanisms are involved. (CH3)3CBr reacts by an * mechanism and apparently this reaction takes place faster. The other three alkyl halides react by * mechanism, and their reactions are slower because the 3. The reaction rates of CH3BR, CH3CH2Br, (CH3)2CHBR are affected by an * and thus their order of reactivity is CH3B > CH3CH2B > (CH3)2CHBR.

write the complete reaction mechanism for the formation of compound B and compound C in this reaction
The reaction between isocyanide 1 and ketone 2 occurs only after a base (t-BuOK) is added to a solution of the reactants in ethanol and CH2Cl2. The final product is nitrile 4, which is believed to arise from ethanolysis of intermediate 3 under the reaction conditions. Draw a plausible reaction mechanism to describe the formation of 4 from 1 and 2. Draw all intermediates and show all electron-pushing. You are not expected to know if your proposed mechanism is the actual mechanism supported by experimental evidence, but it must be reasonable, and the electron pushing should be correct. Hint: start by deprotonating 1 and forming the first bond, then label and map the atoms onto the intermediate. Ts Ts = ONS=O N=C= t-BuO K H -- EtOH, CH2Cl2 2 3 NEC
