Illustrate the mechanism for the reaction below. VERY CAREFULLY draw any transition state (TS-1) that might be formed. Place the transition state in the box. Recall that a transition state depends upon the mechanism operating. Determine what mechanism is likely operating and so indicate where requested. H3C-(CH2) 15-CH₂CH2-Br+ -BuOK/t-BuOH> H₂C-(CH₂)15-CH=CH₂ KBr Illustrate the mechanism for the reaction below. VERY CAREFULLY draw any transition state (TS-1) that might be formed.
