Question
May somebody help me of that, I look at the solution on the chegg but I am still confused.
For each reaction, decide whether substitution or elimination (or both) is possible, and predict the products you expect. Label the major products.
a) 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane + NaOH in acetone.
b) 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane + triethylamine
c) chlorocyclohexane + NaOCH3 in CH3OH
d) chlorocyclohexane + NaOC(CH3)3 in (CH3)3COH.
Please provide me brief explanation and guide me how to solve the problem, do not only post me the answer. Thank you.
Explanation / Answer
(a) Substitution reaction takes place
And the major product is 1- methylcyclohexanol
(b) Elimination reaction predominates
And the major product is 1 - methylcyclohexene
(c) Substitution reaction takes palce
Methoxy cyclohexane is the major ine
(d) Substitution takes place
t-butoxycyclohexane is the major one.
