Chapter 6, Problem 33P

Write an equation, clearly showing the stereochemistry of the starting material and the product, for the reaction of ( S ) -1-bromo-2-methylbutane with sodium iodide in acetone. What is the configuration (R or S) of the product?

The following compounds are given to you:2-Bromopentane, 2-Bromo-2-methylbutane, 1-Bromopentane(i) Write the compound which is most reactive towards SN2 reaction.(ii) Write the compound which is optically active.(iii) Write the compound which is most reactive towards P-elimination reaction.
Elimination of HBr from 2-bromobutane affords a mixture of 1-butene and 2-butene. With sodium ethoxide as base, 2-butene constitutes 81% of the alkene products, but with potassium tert-butoxide, 2-butene constitutes only 67% of the alkene products. Offer an explanation for this difference.
Predict-the-Product. Draw the structure(s) of the major organic product(s) formed in the following reactions. Please indicate stereochemistry if appropriate
