Chapter 6, Problem 6PP

PRACTICE PROBLEM 6.6

S N 2 reactions that involve substitution at a chirality center can be used to relate the configuration of one molecule to another, because we know the S N 2 reaction will occur with inversion.

(a) Illustrate how this is true by assigning R, S configurations to the 2-chlorobutane enantiomers based on the following data. [The configuration of (–)-2-butanol is given in Section 5.8C.]

Chapter 6, Problem 6PP, PRACTICE PROBLEM 6.6
 reactions that involve substitution at a chirality center can be used to

(b) When enantiomerically pure (+)-2-chlorobutanc is allowed to react with potassium iodide in acetone in an S N 2 reaction, the 2-iodobutane that is produced has a minus optical rotation. What is the configuration of (–)-2-iodobucane? Of (+)-2-iodobucane?

PRACTICE PROBLEM 6.5 Using chair conformational structures (SectionA), show the nueleophilie substitution reaction that would take place when trans-1-bromo-4-tert-butyleyclohexane reacts with lodide lon. (Show the most stable conformnation of the reactant and the product.) Sy2 reactions always occur with inversion of configuration
Review Problem 5.2 Construct handheld models of the 2-butanols represented in Fig. 5.3 and demonstrate for yourself that they are not mutually superposable.
