cis-1-Bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane and trans-1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane both react with sodium ethoxide in ethanol to form 4-tert-butylcyclohexene. Explain why the cis isomer reacts much more rapidly than the trans isomer.
Draw the major product obtained when each of the following alkyl halides undergoes an E2 reaction:

a. Explain why the reaction of an alkyl halide with ammonia gives a low yield of primary amine.
b. Explain why a much better yield of primary amine is obtained from the reaction of an alkyl halide with an azide ion (-N3), followed by catalytic hydrogenation. (Hint: An alkyl azide is not nucleophilic.)

When the following compound undergoes solvolysis in ethanol, three products are obtained. Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of these products.

After a proton is removed from the OH group, which compound in each pair forms a cyclic ether more rapidly?
