Organic Chemistry: Sn1E1 Reactions


Carbocation Consequence Problems

Problem :

Sketch the reaction coordinate vs. energy diagram of the following unimolecular reaction. Reactant A is solvated to carbocation B. Then carbocation B rearranges to carbocation C. Finally the solvent reacts with carbocation C to form product D


Problem : Predict all possible SN1 and E2 products.


Problem : A sample of this molecule is 100% "S."

Predict its stereochemistry after a predominantly SN1 reaction.
