Chapter 6.11, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using retrosynthetic analysis, a synthesis of 2-bromo-3-methylbutane is to be devised.

Concept introduction:

Retrosynthetic analysis is used to determine the possible steps and reagents for producing a particular compound from a given compound.

SN2 reactions occur with carbon atoms having the least substituents and reaction takes place with inversion of the configuration.

Aprotic solvents, good leaving groups, and good nucleophiles promote these reactions.

SN1 occurs via formation of a carbocation intermediate. Hence, tertiary halides preferably react by this mechanism.
