Compound A has molecular formula C5H11Br. When compound A is treated with bromine in the presence of UV light, the major product
is 2,2-dibromopentane. Treatment of compound A with NaSH (a strong nucleophile) produces a compound with one chirality center having the R configuration. What is the structure of compound A
1 answer:
The compound (A) is 2-bromo-pentane. See attached picture for the chemical diagram.
Explanation:
2-bromo-pentane (A) reacts with bromine (Br₂) under UV light to form 2,2-dibromopentane and HBr. Also 2-bromo-pentane (A) reacts with NaSH to from pentane-2-thiol, which have an asimetric carbon, and NaBr.
