When

(R)-2

-bromobutane is treated with sodium hydroxide

(NaOH)

, a mixture of products is obtained. An

S_(N)2

process is responsible for generating one of the minor products, while the major product is generated via an elimination process, as will be discussed later in this chapter. Draw the

S_(N)2

product that is obtained when (R)-2-bromobutane reacts with a hydroxide ion.

When (R)2-bromobutane is treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a mixture of products is obtained. An SN2 process is responsible for generating one of the minor products, while the major product is generated via an elimination process, as will be discussed later in this chapter. Draw the SN2 product that is obtained when (R)-2-bromobutane reacts with a hydroxide ion
