Adi S.
Write structures for the carbonyl electrophile and enolate nucleophile that react to give the enone below. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. Draw the enolate nucleophile in its carbanion form. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu.

Decide the mechanism by which the following alkyl halides will be converted to alcohols by the substitution of the nucleophile, OH-. R-X + OH- ? R-OH + X- SN1 SN2 more information needed 1-chloro-3-methylbutane SN1 SN2 more information needed 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane SN1 SN2 more information needed bromocyclopentane SN1 SN2 more information needed 3-chloro-3-ethylpentane
