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
Added by Michelle M.
Step 1
The nucleophile is a weak nucleophile (CH3COO-), which also supports an SN1 mechanism. The product will be the substitution of the chlorine atom with the acetate group: Product: **2-acetoxy-2-methylbutane** Mechanism: **SN1** Show more…
