1-bromobutane will undergo reactions when heated, as shown by reactions A and B.

a. For reactions A and B give the reagents used in each case.

b. Reaction A was repeated using 1-iodobutane instead of 1-bromobutane. Explain any difference in the rate of reaction observed.

c. What type of organic reaction is A?

d. Show the mechanism for reaction A.

e. Reaction A was repeated with 2-bromo-2-methylpropane instead of 1-bromobutane.

i. Name the organic compound formed.

ii. The mechanism of the reaction with 2-bromo-2-methylpropane differs from the mechanism of reaction A. Describe how the mechanisms differ.

f. What type of reaction is B?

g. If reaction B was repeated with 2-bromobutane, name the other organic products that can form as well as the product shown above.
