Summary of Alkyl Halide Chemistry

Problem 7.38 Write the structure of the only tertiary halide having the formula C,H,Br. M 

In order for the halide to be tertiary, Br must be attached to a C that is attached to three other C s i.e., to no H s. This gives the skeletal arrangement 

Problom 7.39 On substitution of one H by a Cl in the isomers of C,H,j, (a) which isomer gives only a primary halide (b) Which isomers give secondary halides (c) Which isomer gives a tertiary halide  

Problem 7.41 Give the organic product in the following substitution reactions. The solvent is given above the arrow. 

Problem 7.42 Account for the observation that catalytic amounts of K1 enhance the rate of reaction of RCHjCl with OH to give the alcohol RCHjOH. M
