Question 1 What is/are the product(s) of the reaction of 2-bromopropane with NaOCOCH,? Draw the mechanism & identify it as Sn1, Sn2, E1, or E2. Explain your reasoning if unsure. Answer 1 The reaction is Sn2 but also E2. The major product is propene. Sodium ethoxide is a strong base and Br is a good leaving group. The substrate is a secondary haloalkane so a mixture of products is expected but the elimination product would be the major product since there is no favorable solvent provided. See the mechanism that follows. Mechanism Росненз ex CH₂ Ctz OK CH₂CH3
