3. For the reactions below: a) Draw the major product b) State the name of the product c) predict the preferred mechanism (i) bromobutane with NaCN (ii) 2-chloro-2-methylpentane with water (iii) 2-bromo-2-phenylbutane with water (iv) Bromobutane with ammonia (v) 2-chloropropane with potassium hydroxide (with heat) (vi) 3-bromo-2-methylpentane with hot sodium hydroxide 4. For the reactions (i) and (ii) above, use curved arrows to show the preferred mechanism. 5. What do following terms mean: a) \( \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1 \) b) \( \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2 \)

Which product (or products) would you expect to obtain from each of the following reactions? In each part, give the mechanism (SN1, SN2, E1, or E2) by which each product is formed and predict the relative amount of each product (i.e., would the product be the only product, the major product, minor product, etc.):
George B.
For each reaction, give the expected substitution product and predict whether the mechanism will be first order (SN1) or second order (SN2): a) 2-chloro-2-methylbutane + CH3COOH b) isobutyl bromide + NaOMe c) 1-iodo-1-methylcyclohexane + CH3CH2OH
