A single fixed pulley is used to lift load by changing the direction of the lifting force. Even though a single fixed pulley has no mechanical gain in that, the effort applied is greater than the load, it is preferred in use since you do not have to pull or push the pulley up and down.
Answer:
(2R,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane
and
(2S,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane
Explanation:
For this case, we will have
as nucleophile. Also, this compound is also in excess. So, we will have as solvent
a protic solvent. Therefore the Sn1 reaction would be favored.
The first step would be the carbocation formation followed by the attack of the nucleophile. In this case both isomers would be produced: R and S (see figure).
