The question is: "Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the reaction between pentan-2-one and (CH3)3O– in t-butanol to form an enolate. Draw all electrons and charges on both resonance structures. Then answer the question about the reaction."
I got the initial arrows correct, but am not entirely sure what the carbanion intermediate would look like and then what the curved arrows would be to convert it to its final oxanion form
A common method where one alkyl halide is converted to another alkyl halide is known as Finkelstein reaction. In one example of this reaction the reaction of an alkyl chloride with potassium iodide is generally carry out in acetone to maximize the amount of alkyl iodine that this formed. Why does the solvent increase the amount of alkyl iodide. Hint: potassium idioide is soluble in acetone but potassium chloride is not.
This reaction does not follow the expected theory. Given what you
know about substitution/elimination, what is the expected mechanism
this reaction should follow? Suggest why that is not what happens and
give the actual product of the reaction.

- ONLY SOLVE BOLDED QUESTIONS PLEASE. Synthesis of Diphenylacetylene This synthesis requires two reactions. The first results in the debromination of trans-stilbene. In the first reaction, glacial acetic acid will be used as the solvent. What is glacial acetic acid? Why are we using pyridinium hydrobromide perbromide instead of bromine in this experiment? What is the name of this reaction and what intermediate is formed? In the second reaction, we are going to see stilbene dibromide undergo two eliminations to form the alkene. Provide the structure of diphenylacetylene. In each elimination the starting material will lose HBr. What is the name of this type of reaction? Assuming you began this reaction with 1.035 g of trans-stilbene, and your final weight of diphenylacetylene is 0.377g, what is your percent yield?
