Question

Draw major product of substitution reaction of (2R,3S)2-bromo-3-methylpentane with CH3CH2O- nucleophile?

Answer 1

The major product of the substitution reaction of (2R,3S)-2-bromo-3-methylpentane with CH3CH2O- nucleophile is shown below:

CH3CH2O- + (2R,3S)-2-bromo-3-methylpentane

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2Br + CH3O-
