For each reaction, give the reagent(s), any specific conditions needed, and the reaction type. For the reaction type, select from: hydrolysis, dehydration, substitution, oxidation, addition, condensation. Any type may be used once, more than once, or not at all. A single reaction may be described by one type or by more than one type.
Draw a diagram that shows the $\text{S}_\text{N}1$ mechanism for reaction 2. Include every necessary charge, dipole, lone pair and curly arrow.
1-bromobutane is a structural isomer of the product of reaction 1. Define structural isomer and name the three distinct types of structural isomerism.
1-bromobutane is reacted with the same reagents as in reaction 2. Butan-1-ol is produced. Identify the mechanism of this reaction. Explain why this reaction follows a different mechanism from reaction 2.
The product of reaction 3, methylpropene, does not display stereoisomerism. Give two reasons why methylpropene does not display stereoisomerism.
Methylpropene can be polymerised to make a poly(alkene). State the type of polymerisation and draw the repeat unit of the polymer made from methylpropene.
State the disposal problem associated with poly(alkenes).
Name the two products from reaction 4. Name of $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{CBr}$. Name of $(\text{CH}_3)_2\text{CHCH}_2\text{Br}$.
Methylpropene can be polymerised to form a poly(alkene). State the type of polymerisation and draw the repeat unit of the polymer made from methylpropene. Type of polymerisation: Repeat unit:
State the disposal problem associated with poly(alkenes).
