Predict the two most likely mechanisms for the reaction of 1-iodohexane with potassium tert-butoxide.

Chemistry

Answer:

C) SN2 and E2

Explanation:

For this question, we have analyzed the <u>substrate</u> and the <u>base/nucleophile</u>. The substrate, in this case, is 1-iodohexane and the base/nucleophile is potassium tert-butoxide.

<u>Substrate</u>

<u />

In the 1-iodohexane the iodide "I" is bonded to a primary carbon (carbon 1). Therefore we will have a <u>primary substrate</u>. If we have a primary substrate an Sn1 can not take place. We can not have a <u>primary carbocation</u> due to this instability. So, we can disccard options A) and B).

<u>Base/nucleophile</u>

<u />

In the potassium tert-butoxide we have an ionic compound. A positive charge is placed in the potassium atom a negative charge is placed in the oxygen of the ter-butoxide ion. So, we will have a <u>strong base</u> (a molecule with the ability to remove electrons) and a <u>strong nucleophile</u> (a molecule with ability to bond with an electrophile). With all this in mind, w<u>e can not have an E1 reaction</u>.

With both analyses, the answer is C).

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

During an ice age, land can move and specific areas can be permanently changed. true or false
givi [52]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

It is known that due to increase in temperature ice melts. Therefore, during ice age there is also melting of ice and solid state of water changes into liquid state of water.

Therefore, this water moves from its initial place and changes its position result in the change of land and specific areas.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement during an ice age, land can move and specific areas can be permanently changed is true.
