300

What determines if a molecule is a polyene?

Multiple carbon-carbon triple bonds are present 

300

what category (good, moderate, poor, extremely poor) do the following leaving groups belong in?

NH2-

H-

R-

extremely poor 

400

How do we denote if there are multiple triple bonds? 

di-, tri-, tetra-, etc

400

Categorize the following as strong/weak bases and good/poor nucleophiles

HSO4-

RNH2

ROH

weak bases and bad nucleophiles 

500

provide the correct name for the following

E-1Bromo - (4)chloro 2,3, - dimethyl - 2 - but - ene 

(E)-1-bromo-4-chloro-2,3-dimethyl-but-2-ene 

 

500

A primary substrate reacts with NaOCH

                                           CH3OH, 30 C 

will this favour substitution or elimination pathway?

1% elimination 99% substitution 


why? low heat, good nucleophile, and is a methyl (no other carbon to form double bond with).
