CHEM 112A Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Benzene, Alkene, Eclipsed Conformation
Document Summary
Section and/or gsi if you are in the laboratory course: _______________________: you will have 75 minutes in which to work. 120: (12 points) alkyl halides undergo e2 elimination reactions as shown below. The proton is removed, the double bond formed, and the halide leaves all in one step as shown with the arrows. The hydrogen and the bromide need to be anti to each other for this reaction to be fast. + ch3oh + br: in this reaction, the homo of the c-h bond interacts with the lumo of the c-br bond. Below, draw a molecular orbital diagram for the formation of c-h and c-br bonds. You do not need to include lone pairs in your diagrams. Label the homo of the c-h bond and the lumo of the c-br bond. C-br bond: sketch the homo of the c-h bond and the lumo of the c-br bond on the line drawing below.
