draw the skeletal structure of the alkyl halide that forms the following alkene as the only product in an elimination reaction.
1 answer:
The alkyl halide that forms the alkene shown as the only product in an elimination reaction is bromomethyl cyclohexane.
An elimination reaction is a reaction in which two atoms are removed to create a double bond. Elimination reaction is a type of reaction that is common to alkyl halides.
In this reaction, a hydrogen atom and a halogen atom are both removed to yield a double bond. The structure of the product depends on the structure of the reactant alkyl halide.
Bromomethylcyclohexane shown in the image attached yields the alkene product in the image attached as the only product when it undergoes elimination reaction.

Answer and Explanation:
Epoxide is a three membered ring made up of two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Epoxides are cyclic ethers. Due to its ring size, it is highly strained and very reactive. Epoxide ring opening takes place with respect to addition of acid and base.
Ring opening of epoxide with acid:
In the presence of base, the nucleophile attacks the epoxide ring at more substituted site and inverse stereochemistry takes place.(check file 2 attached)
Ring opening of epoxide with base:
The backside attack of nucleophile takes place in less substituted site and then it undergoes protonation to form a product.
