Draw all isomers of ,name them, and arrange them in order of decreasing reactivity in thereaction:
The following Walden cycle has been carried out. Explain the results, and indicate where Walden inversion occurs.

The reaction of HBr with (R)-3-methyl-3-hexanol leads to racemic 3-Bromo-3-methyl hexane. Explain.

When primary alcohol is treated with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride at room temperature in the presence of an organic base such as pyridine, a tosylate is formed. When the same reaction is carried out at a higher temperature, an alkyl chloride is often formed. Explain.

Compound X is optically inactive and has the formula. On treatment with strong base, X gives hydrocarbon Y,. Compound Y absorbs 2 equivalents of hydrogen when reduced over a palladium catalyst and reacts with ozone to give two fragments. One fragment, Z, is an aldehyde with formula. The other fragment is glyoxal,. Write the reactions involved, and suggest structures for X, Y, and Z. What is the stereochemistry of X?
