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.
