What stereochemistry do you expect for the trisubstituted alkene obtained by E2 elimination of the following alkyl halide on treatment with KOH? (Reddish brown = Br.)

Question: Predict the product and give the stereochemistry resulting from reaction of each of the following nucleophiles with (R)-2-bromooctane:
a)
Assign configuration to the following substrate, and show the stereochemistry and identity of the product you would obtain by reaction with water (reddish-brown=Br):

Predict the product(s) for each elimination reaction below. In each caseshow the mechanism. What do the mechanisms have in common? Why?

SN2 reactions take place with inversion of configuration, andSN1 reactions take place with racemization. The following substitution reaction, however, occurs with complete retention of configuration. Propose a mechanism.
