A. Illustrate the mechanisms showing formationof B and C that explain these results.
B. The mechanism for the formation of compound B canbe categorized as either Sn1, Sn2, E1 or E2. Determine the correctcategory for the mechanism on the formation of B - What if anyare the reaction details that helped you determine the correctclassification ^
D. The starting material compound A is a secondaryalkyl halide. Secondary alkyl halides undergo both Sn1/E1 or Sn2/E2type reactions. Look at the structure of A, determine thedriving force of why this secondary alkyl halide proceeded throughone mechanistic pathway over the other. Draw structures to helpexplain your reasoning.
