Continued... 23. Answer BOTH parts of this question. (a) Which two pieces of experimental evidence can be used to demonstrate that a chiral secondary alkyl halide (R-X) reacts with water to form a secondary alcohol (ROH) via an SN1 reaction? Give clear explanations for both cases. There is no need to draw diagrams. (4 marks) (b) When 2-methylpropene reacts with HBr under ionic conditions, the major product is 2-bromo-2- methylpropane, as shown in Figure Q23(b): HC HBr (CH3)3CBr C= CH, HĆ Figure Q23(b) II Using curly arrows, show the mechanism for this reaction, explaining why the major product is 2- bromo-2- methylpropane rather than an isomer of it.
