(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The major product of the given reaction should be given.

Concept introduction:

SN1reaction:

In the nucleophilic substitution reaction, the rate of reaction depends only on one reactant, which is involved in reaction is called unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction.

In SN1 reaction, formation of carbocation by reliving of leaving group from reactant is the first step and second step is addition nucleophile to carbocation.

The rate determination step is formation of carbocation.

The stability order of carbocation is,

Tertiary > Secondary > Primary

Therefore, tertiary alcohols undergo substitution very fast than the secondary alcohols because tertiary carbocation is more stable than the secondary carbocation than the primary carbocation. Primary alcohol is less stable therefore it won’t undergoes SN1 substitution reaction.

For the following reactions, explain which product(s) will form and why. Cro; H2SO4 PCC Cro3 HO H2SO4
Each of these reactions produces ONE MAJOR PRODUCT. In each case, draw this product in the box provided, including appropriate stereochemistry when applicable. For multi-step reactions, just give the FINAL product, no intermediates.
Consider the following reaction. CH3CH₂CH=CHCOH HCI CH3CH₂CH CHCOH c₁ CH3CH₂CH- H O CHCOH H CI this product is not observed Account for the fact that this reaction yields only a single product by drawing the carbocation intermediate leading to the observed product.
