1. Write IUPAC names, including designation of stereochemistry where needed,
for each of the following compounds:
2. Imagine three different mechanisms for accomplishing the general substitution
reaction shown below. The mechanisms are described as:
R-X + Y:- ----> R-Y + X:-
a) all in one step
b) two steps: first loss of a leaving group, then attachment of a nucleophile
c) two steps: first bonding of the nucleophile, then loss of the leaving
group
Write stepwise mechanisms for each case and plausible potential energy diagrams.
