Question

Identify the mechanism by which each of the reactions above proceeds from among the mechanisms listed. Use the letters a - j for your answers.

dry ether OH + MgBr-CH2CH3 - + -O MgBr + CH3CH3 2. & + Na Oet Na OEt a = Proton transfer b = Lewis acid/base e= Electrophilic addition f= E1 Elimination g = E2 Elimination h = Sy1 Nucleophilic substitution i= SN2 Nucleophilic substitution j= Electrophilic aromatic substitution DMSO/H;0 or. e. o. - N-Br N-H 2. AAMOH + NaH OH + NaH No na + H2 a = Proton transfer b= Lewis acid/base e = Electrophilic addition f=E1 Elimination g = E2 Elimination h = SN1 Nucleophilic substitution i= SN2 Nucleophilic substitution j= Electrophilic aromatic substitution

Explanation / Answer

1)

here grignard reagent is base and cyclopentanol act as acid.

so this is Lewis acid base reaction.

option B is the answer.

2)

in this reaction OET- act as nucleophile and OEt- attack to the epoxide.

so option i ) SN2 nucleophilic substitution is the answer.

1)

electrophilic addition is the answer.

here Br+ act as electrophile.

2)

option B. Lewis acid/base is the answer.

here NaH act as base and alcohol act as acid.
