Q: Draw the mechanism for the Sn1reaction for step 2 in the procedure using tert-butyl bromide asthe starting material. Label the nucleophile and the electrophilethroughout the mechanism.
So I'm really not sure how to do what this question is asking. Ihave included what is made in step two as the solvent below so thatyou understand where this is coming from.
Per Erlenmyer Flask there was:
25mL of 50/50 isoproanol and water
5 drops bromocresol green indicator solution
200 microliters of .5 M NaOH.
Please help if you can. I am totally lost with how to do thisquestion I would really appreciate if someone could draw it out soI can understand. Also if I didnt include something that was neededto solve the question please ask in the comments and I can try todirect.
