Essay
a. Only one of the two diastereomers (formula C12H23OBr) will react with NaOH to form a product X with the formula C12H22O. Identify the reactive diastereomer by circling it and labeling it with the letter A. Draw the product X in its chair conformation.
b. The other diastereomer (B) reacts more slowly but eventually forms a product Y (C12H24O2). Compound Y is not an alkene. Propose a structure for Y.
c. Explain why compounds A and B react differently and explain why the formation of X from A is much faster than the formation of Y from B.
