What percentage of the reaction described in Problem 31 takes place by the E2 pathway when [HO-] = 0.0025 M?
What products are formed from the following reactions?

Question:Draw the elimination products for each of the following E2 reactions; if the products can exist as stereoisomers, indicate which stereoisomers are obtained.
a. (2S,3S)-2-chloro-3-methylpentane + high concentration of CH3O-
b.(2S,3R)-2-chloro-3-methylpentane + high concentration of CH3O-
c.(2R,3S)-2-chloro-3-methylpentane + high concentration of CH3O-
d.(2R,3R)-2-chloro-3-methylpentane + high concentration of CH3O-
e.3-chloro-3-ethyl-2,2-dimethylpentane + high concentration of CH3CH2O-
Would you expect methoxide ion to be a better nucleophile if it is dissolved in CH3OH or if it is dissolved in DMSO? Why?
