5. As mentioned earlier, stereochemistry is not of great concern in this topic. However,
certain mechanistic types will show specific stereochemical consequences when
acting on chiral molecules. With this in mind, predict the product resulting from the
E2 elimination of HBr when the shown isomer of 4-bromo-3-methyl-2-pentanone is
treated with sodamide. Show all stereochemistry and explain your answer.
6. Based on the answer to Problem 5, predict the product of the following reactions and
show all stereochemistry:
a.
b.
c.
d.
