Question

Transcribed Image Text:10. When cyclohexane 5 is treated with a strong base it undergoes an E2 elimination. Answer the following
questions about the reaction below.
a) Draw the structure of the favored product for the E2 reaction
5
'Br
Na
b) Draw the two chair conformations for cylcohexane 5. (Make sure to draw out all groups including
hydrogens.)
c) Put a square around the most stable chair and circle the reactive conformation.
d) The elimination of 5 proceeds much faster than the elimination of 6, which produces a different alkene
product 7. Explain the difference in rate and the formation of a different alkene product.
