Which is a better nucleophile?
a. Draw the structures of the products obtained from the reaction of each enantiomer of cis-1-chloro-2-isopropylcyclopentane with sodium methoxide in methanol.
b. Are all the products optically active?
c. How would the products differ if the starting material were the trans isomer? Are these products optically active?
d. Will the cis enantiomers or the trans enantiomers form substitution products more rapidly?
e. Will the cis enantiomers or the trans enantiomers form elimination products more rapidly?
Why do cis-1-bromo-2-ethylcyclohexane and trans-1-bromo-2-ethylcyclohexane form different major products when they undergo an E2 reaction?
