QUESTION:
Give the solvolysis products expected when each compound is heated in ethanol.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
We need to find the solvolysis products expected when each compound is heated in ethanol.
Solvolysis is a chemical reaction in which the solvent, like water or alcohol, is one of the reagents and is present in significantly higher amounts than what is necessary for the reaction.
In solvolysis a carbocation is generated first, which should be more stable carbocation followed by ethanol addition to give the product.
