O chem *delete me*!!!!!!!!! PLEASE

(1/3) > >>

LuckyDude35:
Ok, I have a question. I have a homework assignment that wants me to decide whether the major reaction is: proton transfer, substitution, or elimination and write them out. I need examples to tell which one to use or maybe a check list approach that I can follow to do the 10 problems. ANY help would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much!
                                        Confused in California

Mitch:
Elimination would mean a double bond is formed. Substitution would mean an atom was replaced with an other atom. Perhaps if you posted one of the questions we can work it out with you.

LuckyDude35:
Ok here goes:

bromomethane + hydrogen Sulfide (HS-) in DMF

Thank you very much!

LuckyDude35:
Another one is:

1-methylcyclopentanol + HCL at 0 degrees C

I just don't know how to get started, my teacher didn't give us any examples to go off of. Thank you for your help

Mitch:
Out of those 3 compounds are there any good leaving groups in any of them?
