Question
Please draw substitution and elimination major products

Transcribed Image Text:## Organic Chemistry Reaction Exercise
**Objective:**
Draw the major elimination and substitution products formed in the following reaction. Use a dash or wedge bond to indicate stereochemistry of substituents on asymmetric centers, where applicable. Ignore any inorganic byproducts.
### Reaction Scheme
1. **Reactant Structure:**
- The reactant is a brominated molecule, illustrated as follows:
```
Br
\
C
/ \
C C
```
2. **Conditions for the Reaction:**
- The reactant is treated with **H₂O** under **heat**.
3. **Instruction:**
- Draw one of the major products resulting from either an elimination or substitution reaction.
### Step-by-Step Guide
1. **Identify possible elimination and substitution pathways:**
- **Elimination Reaction:** This typically leads to the formation of an alkene by removing a hydrogen (H) from one carbon and a bromine (Br) from an adjacent carbon.
- **Substitution Reaction:** Here, the bromine (Br) is replaced by a hydroxyl group (OH) from the water, resulting in an alcohol.
2. **Determine the stereochemistry:**
- When applicable, use wedge and dash bonds to show the 3D placement of substituents around any asymmetric carbon atoms.
### Example of a Major Product (Elimination Pathway):
- Form an alkene by removing H and Br:
```
C=C
```
- Incorporate stereochemistry if the product has asymmetric centers.
### Example of a Major Product (Substitution Pathway):
- Form an alcohol by replacing Br with OH:
```
OH
\
C
/ \
C C
```
- Include appropriate 3D bonds (wedge, dash) for any chiral centers.
Draw the structure within the provided frame and ensure the stereochemistry is clear where necessary.
