Which of the following statement(s) is (are) TRUE? a. Zaitsev's rule: If substrate is a tertiary alkyl halide and the base is a bulky base, the mechanism proceeds via E2 reaction but this time the less substituted (less stable alkene) is the major product. b. Zaitsev's rule: If the substrate is a tertiary alkyl halide and the base is small, E2 mechanism prevails but the alkene formed is a more stable alkene (the more substituents an alkene has, the more stable it is. c. Exception to Zaitsev's rule: If substrate is a tertiary alkyl halide and the base is a bulky base, the mechanism proceeds via E2 reaction but this time the more substituted (less stable alkene) is the major product. d. Exception to Zaitsev's rule: If substrate is a tertiary alkyl halide and the base is a bulky base, the mechanism proceeds via E2 reaction but this time the less substituted (more stable alkene) is the major product. e.

In an E2 mediated elimination reaction of an alkyl halide (H-X) using NaOCH3 as base, which of the following statement is not true? O The reactivity order for alkyl halides (RX) is tertiary secondary> primary. O The rate of reaction = k2 (alkyl halide] [NaOCH₂] O The reaction occurs in a single step. O The rate is independent of the leaving group.
The hydrolysis of tert-butyl chloride proceeds less rapidly in a solvent mixture which is 15% water/85% acetone than in one which is 85% water/15% acetone. Why? O The reaction proceeds by an SN2 mechanism wherein the rate is increased by increasing the concentration of the nucleophile water. The solvent which contains a greater percentage of water is less polar, and this destabilizes the tert-butyl chloride. O None of the above. O The reaction proceeds by an SN1 mechanism wherein the rate is increased by increasing the concentration of the nucleophile water. O The transition state in the carbocation formation step is better stabilized in the more polar solvent mixture.

Alcohols are acidic in nature. Therefore, a strong base can abstract the acidic hydrogen atom of the alcohol in a process known as deprotonation. The alcohol forms an alkoxide ion by losing the proton attached to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl ( -OH) group. The alkoxide formed can act as a base or a nucleophile depending on the substrate and reaction conditions. However, not all bases can abstract the acidic proton of alcohols and not all alcohols easily lose the proton. Deprotonation depends on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol. Strong bases, such as NaNH2, can easily abstract a proton from almost all alcohols. Likewise, more acidic alcohols lose a proton more easily. Determine which of the following reactions would undergo deprotonation based on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol. Check all that apply. ► View Available Hint(s) CH3CH,OH + NH3 →CH,CH,O-NH CH3 CH3 H3C-C-H+NH3 → H3 C-C-H OH O-NH CH3CH2OH + NaNH, → CH3CH,O-Na* + NH3 CHC12 Cl₂…
Please answer the two items. The following compounds are major products of an elimination reaction with an alkyl halide. Determine the structure of the alkyl halide. Write the overall reaction mechanism. Tip: Remember your Markovnikov’s rule. Follow the progress of the reaction and look at the stability of the intermediate products and transition states to determine the minor and major products.
