Draw the major organic substitution product(s) for (2R,3S)-2-bromo-3-methylpentane reacting with the given nucleophile. Indicate
the stereochemistry, including H\'s, at each stereogenic center. Omit any byproducts.
1 answer:
Answer:
The final product of the reaction is (<em>2S,3S</em>)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane.
Explanation:
The given reaction undergoes mechanism in which the nucleophile attacks the backside and it is substituted by the elimination of bromine.
Due to the backside attack of nucleophile , the inverse in stereo-chemistry is observed.
After the substitution of ethoxy group, the configuration is assigned according to the priority it shows clock wise direction(R) - configuration.
When hydrogen faces the front side , it results shows inverse configuration i.e, S- configuration.
The chemical reaction is as follows.
