1. Menthyl chlonide reacts with sodium ethoxide in ethanol to give a single product as shown. Analyze this reaction mechanisticaly to explain why this is the only alkene produced Cl NaOEt, HOE 2. By contrast, neomenthyl chloride treated in the same fashion gives a different major product. Moreover, menthyl chloride reacts observations mechanistically. Cl NaOEt, HOEt 25 % 75 % 3, when methyl chloride is treated with 80 % aqueous ethanol with no ethoxide present, once again two products are formed in the ratio shown. Explain mechanistically Cl H,0, HOEt 32 % 68 %
