Answer:
(CH3)2CHCH2CHO
Explanation:
The reaction sequence begins with the reaction of isopropanol with phosphorus tribromide to yield isopropyl bromide. This is followed by reaction with Magnesium in ether solution giving a grignard reagent, isopropyl magnesium bromide. This is now attacked by oxirane and the epoxide ring opens, hydrolysis of the product, followed by oxidation using pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) yields the final product- (CH3)2CHCH2CHO

<span>Ionic compounds are chemical compounds in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. They have a high melting and boiling point, and they have a high hardness and are very brittle. The cations and anions are stuck together in a sense. So in this case, sodium (Na) is attracted to Chlorine (Cl).</span>
Answer:
A one-step mechanism involving a transition state that has a carbon partially bonded to both chlorine and oxygen
Explanation:
The compound CH3Cl is methyl chloride. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction that proceeds by an SN2 mechanism. The SN2 mechanism is a concerted reaction mechanism. This means that the departure of the leaving group is assisted by the incoming nucleophile. The both species are partially bonded to opposite sides of the carbon atom in the transition state.
Recall that an SN2 reaction is driven by the attraction between the negative charge of the nucleophile (OH^-) and the positive charge of the electrophile (the partial positive charge on the carbon atom bearing the chlorine leaving group).
The correct answer is less wind and more wind. Good luck :)
