Recitation #9 Questions CHEM 2510 Intermolecular vs. Intramolecular Substitutions a. 2. A chemist was interested in polymers (long organic chains with repeating subunits), and they decided to make a polymer using 4-bromocyclohexan-1-ol as the monomer unit. Their synthetic plan is outlined below: Br NaH OH Br Br They found that no reaction occurs unless they add NaH to the reaction mixture, meaning that an acid/base step must happen first. What mechanism is taking place each time the chain gets longer? Draw the mechanism for the formation of the first intermediate (compound 2), including the required acid/base step.
