Reactants as Electrophiles and Nucleophiles
Not what you're looking for?
1) Label the reactants as electrophiles or nucleophiles. Use curved arrows to show the movement of electron pairs in the reactions:
(a) methoxide + methyl chloride = dimethyl ether + chloride
(b) (CH3)3O+ + HOH = CH3OCH3 + CH3OH2+
2) For the pair of compounds, dipropylamine and triethylamine, circle the compound you expect to have the higher bp. Explain your reasoning.
3) Draw the structures of (a) 4-(1-methylethyl)heptane.
(b) 5-(1,2,2-trimethylpropyl)nonane
4) Provide the mechanistic pathway for the reaction between propene and HBr.
5) When 1,3-butadiene reacts with 1 mol of HBr, both 3-bromo-1-butene and 1-bromo-2-butene are formed. Propose a mechanism to account for this mixture of products.
6) Convert 1-methycyclohexanol to 1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane.
