Achiral compound X has the formula C₈H₁₇Br. Y, C₈H₁₇Cl, is chiral.
X undergoes base-promoted E2 elimination to give a single alkene product Z. Under similar conditions Y produces a mixture of alkenes, including Z.
Catalytic hydrogenation of Z affords 2-methylheptane. Propose structures for X and Y.

Compound X, C8H17Cl, is a chiral product of the radical chlorination of 4-methylheptane. X reacts in SN2 fashion with NaI in acetone to form Z, C8H17I. When the reactant is the R-enantiomer of X, only the R-enantiomer of Z is formed. Draw a structural formula for X; do not show stereochemistry. I don't even know how to go about this, I have been trying to do these types of problems for a while now and can't seem to get one...

(In Matlab) Create a base class named Point that has the properties for x and y coordinates. From this class derive a class named Circle having an additional property named radius. For this derived class, the x and y properties represent the center coordinates of a circle. The methods of the base class should consist of a constructor, an area function that returns 0, and a distance function that returns the distance between two points. The derived class should have...
