POST-LAB: SYNTHESIS OF -CHLORO-3-METHYLBUTANE 1. [3] Draw a step-wise mechanism for the reaction of 3-methyl-3-pentanol with hydrochloric acid, which includes transition states 2.[1.5] Draw and predict the product(s) of a reaction of 2-butanol with HBr. By what mechanism would you predict this reaction to occur (Sxl or Sx2)? Explain why. 3. [1.5] Draw and predict the product(s) of a reaction of 1-butanol with HBr. By what mechanism would you predict this reaction to occur (Spl or Sx2)? Explain why. 4. [4] Draw the structures of the starting material and product directly on their NMR & IR spectra, then label the peaks as you did for your ester.
