a) Answer all questions regarding the reaction shown below: HC OH 1) stereochemistry of the product(s) in this reaction. (3 marks) HBr Write out the reaction mechanism to show the formation and the H20 ) Indicate the rate-determining step of the reaction in the mechanism that you deduced in part i). (0.5 mark) ii) How would the use of a non-polar solvent such as hexane affect the rate of reaction? Explain in no more than two sentences. (1 mark) b) Answer all questions regarding the compaund given below: i) Provide two chair conformations of this compound as instructed in the boxes below. (2 marks) Br More stable chair conformation (A) Less stable chair conformation (B) i) Which of the two chair conformalions (between A and B) will undergo a faster E2 reaction using potassium methoxide as base? (1 mark) i) if an E1 mechanism was instead involved in part ii). what would be the structure of the expected final product?
