  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 7, Problem 35P

Concept Introduction:

The chemical reaction via which one organic compound converts into other is known as organic reactions. Substitution reaction is a type of reaction in which one group is replaced by other group is termed as substitution reaction. Nucleophilic substitution and electrophilic substitution are two types of substitution reaction.

The reaction of (S)-2-bromopentane with potassium cyanide to yield 2-methylpentanenitrile (2-cyanopentane) occurs due to a nucleophilic substitution pathway. The reaction is 100% stereospecific. Please explain what this observation tells about the mechanism of the reaction.
Identify two alkenes that react with HBr to form 1-bromo-1-methylcyclohexane without undergoing a carbocation rearrangement.
Please give the main substitution product for each of the following reactions, and indicate the dominant mechanism:      (a)     1-bromopropane   +   NaOCH3   →      (b)     3-bromo-3-methylpentane   +   NaOC2H5   →
