Predicting S_N2, E2, S_N1, and E1 Reactions
For each of the following reactions, predict the products and the mechanisms by which the products are formed.
(a) CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2Br + (CH_3)_3CO^-Na^+ \xrightarrow{(CH_3)_3COH}
(b) \begin{matrix} \ \underset{|}{Br} \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \underset{||}O \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \\ CH_3CHCH_3 + CH_3C-O^-Na^+ \xrightarrow{\text{acetone}} \end{matrix} (c) \begin{matrix} \underset{|}{Br}\quad\quad\quad \\ CH_3CH_2CHCH_2CH_3 \xrightarrow[{80}^{\circ}C]{H_2O} \end{matrix}
