1. Z-2-chlorocyclopentanol and E-2-chlorocyclopentanol each react with NaOH to eliminate HCl but they give different final products C5H8O. Show how each forms
2. The reactions of bromotrichloromethane with toluene in the presence of a peroxide affords trichloromethane and benzyl bromide. Show the mechanism, indicating the chain carrying and initiating steps
3.
Show how to convert 2-hydroxypropane to 1-hydroxypropane:
(a) Using BH3 at some point
(b) Not using BH3
4.
Show the products of the reaction of Br2 with cis-2-butnene (Z) and with trans-2-butene (E). Show and them any enantiomers formed.
