Homework Statement
1)[tex](CH_3)_3CCH(OH)CH_3[/tex]+ HBr ->
[hide=My View]I believe reaction should be elimination because [tex]Br^ -[/tex] is a weaker nucleophile than [tex]OH^ -[/tex] so it cannot substitute it.[/hide]
2)[tex]CH_3CH_2CHBrCH_3[/tex] + [tex]EtO^ -[/tex]->
[hide]Substitution?[/hide]
3) Compare the nucleophilicity of[tex]NH_3[/tex] and [tex]PH_3[/tex]
[hide][tex]NH_3[/tex] has more [tex]e^ -[/tex] density so [tex]NH_3 > PH_3[/tex][/hide]
Will the following reactions be primarily substitution or elimination?
[tex]CH_3CH(Br)CH_3 + OH^ - (H_2O) - >[/tex]
[hide][tex]OH^ -[/tex]is stabilized in water so can't go Sn2,it can go Sn1 though and maybe some elimination.[/hide]
[tex]CH_3CH(Br)CH_3 + OH^ - (Ethanol) - >[/tex]
[hide]Isnt this case almost the same as above?[/hide]
