Organic Chemistry Reactions: Mechanisms and Products, Study notes of Stereochemistry

A series of organic chemistry reactions with accompanying structures and mechanisms. Students are required to identify the major organic products and propose reasonable mechanisms, including stereochemistry where relevant. Some reactions involve hydride or alkyl shifts.

What you will learn

  • What role do hydride or alkyl shifts play in the rearrangement of intermediates in the given reactions?
  • What are the major organic products for each reaction in the document?
  • What mechanisms account for the formation of each major organic product?

1. (30 pts) Draw the structure for the major organic product(s) of each reaction (one per
box) and specify the most likely mechanism (SN1, SN2, E2, or E1) by which each is
formed. Include stereochemistry where relevant using wedges and dashes. You may write
"+ enantionmer" if a racemic mixture is formed.
