Step 1
First, we need to draw the structure of (S)-3-chloro-3-methyloctane. The octane chain has 8 carbons, and there is a chlorine atom and a methyl group on the third carbon. The (S) configuration indicates that the priority order of the groups around the chiral center Show more…

Two substitution products result from the reaction of 3 -chloro- 3 -methyl-1-butene with sodium acetate $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{-} \mathrm{Na}^{+}\right)$ in acetic acid under conditions that favor an $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1$ reaction. Identify the products.
