Starting with (2R,3R)-2-chloro-3,4-dimethylpentan e, a) draw the expected major product for each step, including regiochemical and stereochemical details when needed. In addition, b) briefly explain the mechanistic rationale for each transformation. i. t-BuOK/t-BuOH, heat
ii. MCPBA/CH2Cl2
iii. H3O

i have a feeling this is a gay person trolling to make straights look bad.

answer: -

reaction:

na + cl ⇌ nacl

balanced chemical equation:

na + 2cl ⇌ nacl2

sodium + clorine goes to form sodium chloride (table salt).

the product is nacl2.

and the reactants are na and cl.

(note: if you don’t know what ⇌ means, read below: -

⇌(double head arrow) means reversible reaction).
