Q
Reaction Steps
A
- Br leaves
- Nuc can come from front or back
- Br- takes a H
4

Stereospecific
A
Not stereospecific
5
Q
How do you know if the product is SN1 or 2
A
Did it start as a wedge/dash and end as a line
6
Q
Resonance Stabilized
A
The bond can move to stabilize the positive charged carbon- then can move back to stabilize where the charged move to etc
7
Q
Resonance Reactions
A
- Br leaves
- EtOH bind at + spot
or - bond moves before EtOH can bind
- EtOH bind in new + spot
- Br takes H
- 2 possible outcomes
