Alkyl halides undergo elimination reactions to produce alkenes by the reacting with strong bases as shown in the following reaction (see image).
In general, compounds where the halogen is axial (axial position) are much more reactive than those in which they are in the equatorial position. Taking the above into account:
a. Which of the following compounds would give a faster elimination reaction: cis-1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane or trans-1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane? Draw the corresponding structures and clearly explain the choice.
Please draw the chemical structures of the following compounds
a.
(3Z,5S)-non-3-en-1-in-5-ole
b. (1R,3S)-1-chloro-3-ethylcyclohexane
When 2-bromobutane is reacted with CH3O-, two alkene products, namely 2-butene and 1-butene are obtained. Explain why the E2 reaction produces 2-butene as the major product (80%) and 1-butene as the minor product (20%)
