Which statement best describes the first step in the mechanism of the following ether synthesis? Na + CH₂I -OCH3 The alkoxide ion acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbon of the alkyl halide. The alkoxide ion acts as a nucleophile and attacks the iodine of the alkyl halide. The alkoxide ion acts as an electrophile and attacks the iodine of the alkyl halide. The alkoxide ion acts as an electrophile and attacks the carbon of the alkyl halide.
How do I make a mechanism for this reaction
Associate the reaction mechanism with the indicated characteristics of the base or nucleophile. Assume that the electrophile bears a good enough leaving group. E2 1. Species is a strong nucleophile but a weak base Could be SN1 or E1, depending on the electrophile's structure 2. Species is a weak nucleophile but a strong base 3. Species is a strong nucleophile and a strong base SN2 Could be SN2 or E2, 4. Species is a weak nucleophile and a depending on the electrophile's structure weak base >
Draw the E1 (elimination) mechanism for the reaction
Draw the major product substitution reactions and include stereochemistry when appropriate
