Although anti-periplanar geometry is preferred for E2 reactions, it isn’t absolutely necessary. The deuterated Bromo compound shown here reacts with a strong base to yield an undeuterated alkene. Clearly, a syn elimination has occurred. Make a molecular model of the reactant, and explain the result.

Question: Predict the product and give the stereochemistry resulting from reaction of each of the following nucleophiles with (R)-2-bromooctane:
a)
Predict whether each of the following substitution reactions is likely to be or:
(a)

(b)

Methyl esters () undergo a cleavage reaction to yield carboxylate ions plus iodomethane on heating with LiI in dimethylformamide:

The following evidence has been obtained: (1) The reaction occurs much faster in DMF than in ethanol. (2) The corresponding ethyl ester () cleaves approximately 10 times more slowly than the methyl ester. Propose a mechanism for the reaction. What other kinds of experimental evidence could you gather to support your hypothesis?
