Question

Choose the alkyl halide or alkyl halides fromt he followinglist of C6H13Br isomers that meet each of the following criteria.There is at least one correct answer for each part, and may be morethan one. Give all the correct answers. You can use letters toindicate your choices. (Can you also please explain why you chosethe answers as well?) A. 1-bromohexane B. 3-Bromo-3-methylpentane C. 1-bromo-2,2-dimethylbutane D. 3-bromo-2-methylpentane E. 2-bromo-3-methylpentane 1.) the compounds(s) that can exist as enantiomers: 2.) the compounds(s) that can exist as diastereomers: 3.) the compound that gives the fastest SN2reaction withsodium methoxide: 4.) the compound (s) that give only one alkene in an E2reaction. 5.) the compound (s) that give an E2 but no SN2 reaction withsodium methoxide in methanol: 6.) the compound that gives the fastest SN1 reaction: Choose the alkyl halide or alkyl halides fromt he followinglist of C6H13Br isomers that meet each of the following criteria.There is at least one correct answer for each part, and may be morethan one.

Explanation / Answer

1. D and E because they both contain chiral centers so they canexist as enantiomers 2. E because it contains two chiral centers so it can exist asdiastereomers 3. A because it is primary alkyl halide and so less sterichindrance. 4. A because because the carbon from which bromine is leaving hasonly one alfa carbon. 5. B because the alkyl halide is tertiary so more sterichindrance so no Sn2 but E2 is possible. 6. B because it is tertiary so gives a stable carbocation so fastSn1 reaction. hope this helps
