3-bromo-1-pentene and 1-bromo-2-pentene undergo SN1 reaction at almost the same rate, but one is a secondary halide while the other is a primary halide. Explain your answer. Then,
decide which the following compounds will react faster in an E2 reaction; trans-1-bromo-2-isopropylcyclohexane or cis-1-bromo-2-isopropylcyclohexane.
and Explain your answer.
Consider an E2 reaction between (2-bromoethyl)cyclohexane and base
potassium tert-butoxide. Describe the rate of elimination when each of the
following changes occurred:
(i) The base is changed to sodium hydroxide.
(ii) The halogen atom of alkyl halide is replaced by chlorine.
Addition of HBr to allene (CH2 = C = CH2) forms 2-bromoprop-1-ene rather than 3-bromoprop-1-ene, even though 3-bromoprop-1-ene is formed from an allylic carbocation. Considering the arrangement of orbitals in the allene reactant, explain this result.
