Question
Consider the substitution reaction that takes place when (R)-3-bfomo-3-methylhexane is treated with methanol. Which of the following would be true? A) The reaction would take place only with inversion of configuration at the stereogenic center. B) The reaction would take place only with retention of configuration at the stereogenic center. C) The reaction would take place with racemization. D) No reaction would take place. E) The alkyl halide does not possess a stereogenic center. By analyzing the starting material and the product(s), the following reaction is an example of what type of mechanism? A) S_Nl1 B) S_N2 C) E1 D) E2 E) More than one of the above Which is a true statement concerning the transition state of the rate-determining step of an S_N1 reaction? A) Structurally, it closely resembles the carbocation intermediate. B) Both covalent bond-breaking and bond-making are occurring. C) Formation of the transition state is an exothermic reaction.
