Question

2. For reaction below, predict the mechanism that the reaction will likely undergo (SN1, Sn2, E1,E2), then provide the major product for that reaction. a. For each of the above

reactions, explain how you decided which mechanism was the appropriate one to lead to the major product and how you decided the product. b. Pick two of the above reactions and draw the mechanisms showing all steps, all curved arrows and all intermediates to get to the products. c. Of the two E2 reactions shown below, reaction (a) occurs significantly faster than reaction (b) occurs. Reaction B barely makes any product. Explain why this is observed.
