Draw the substitution product formed by each of the following SN2 reactions:
a. trans-1-iodo-4-ethylcyclohexane and methoxide ion
b. cis-1-chloro-3-methylcyclobutane and ethoxide ion
Why do cis-1-bromo-2-ethylcyclohexane and trans-1-bromo-2-ethylcyclohexane form different major products when they undergo an E2 reaction?
a. What is the major product obtained when each of the following compounds undergoes an E2 reaction with methoxide ion ? Show the configuration of the product.
b. Does the product obtained depend on whether you start with the R or S enantiomer of the reactant?

Rank the following alkyl halides from most reactive to least reactive in an SN1 reaction:
2-bromo-2-methylpentane, 2-chloro-2-methylpentane, 3-chloropentane, and 2-iodo-2-methylpentane.
Does increasing the energy barrier for an SN2 reaction increase or decrease the magnitude of the rate constant for the reaction?
