please do the step by step reaction. thank you
Draw the product of nucleophile substitution , and determine the likely mechanism ( SN1 or SN2
Follow d direction
C) 30. In the presence of a nucleophile, which of the following will undergo conjugate addition? OCH3 HEVL OCH3
15.Which of the following correctly explains why alkyl groups are ortho/para-directing groups? a. Meta substitution results in an arenium ion in which a positive charge is destabilized by an adjacent electron-withdrawing group. b. Ortho/para substitution results in an arenium ion intermediale in which all atoms have complete octets. c. A lone pair of electrons on the alkyl group participates in re sonance and stabilizes the arenium ion intermediate in ortho/para substitution. d. The most stable resonance structure for the arenium ion intermediate in ortho/para substitution contains a 2° carbocation. e. The alkyl group is electron donating via induction and stabilizes the adjacent positive charge in the ortho/para substitution intermediate. 5.
18. a. Label the reactive features, highlight the most reactive one, then highlight what it needs. Also, state if the reaction will start to create a carbocation, carbon radical, or carbanion, or will cause loss of aromatic character. If a carbocation, carbon radical, or carbanion starts to develop, label where that will occur. 3-bromo-3-methylhexane + potassium hydroxide in THF b. Use mechanism arrows to illustrate the reaction that occurs. c. If applicable, use stabilization resources to deal with the carbocation, carbon radical, or carbanion that starts to develop during the reaction, and draw the structure of any resonance-stabilized intermediate. d. Continue labeling and diagramming the reaction until you find the major stable product(s). e. Finally, state the stereochemistry of the major product(s) and use either Fisher projection or perspective formula representations to illustrate that stereochemistry.
