Question

Questions 1. Could 1-pentanol and 2-pentanol be converted to the bromide merely by shaking with concentrated hydrobromic acid in the manner the 2-methyl-2-butanol did? (Hint: What are the Experimental Conditions for the Lucas test? 2. How would you expect the results of the alkoxide promoted eliminations to change if the alcohols used as solvents contained water? 3. Would an amine be a good solvent for reaction one? Why or why not? 4. What differences in product distribution would be expected for the elimination reactions of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane and 2-bromo-2,3-dimethylbutane with excess potassium hydroxide in ethanol?
