Answer:
(2R,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane
and
(2S,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane
Explanation:
For this case, we will have as nucleophile. Also, this compound is also in excess. So, we will have as solvent a protic solvent. Therefore the Sn1 reaction would be favored.
The first step would be the carbocation formation followed by the attack of the nucleophile. In this case both isomers would be produced: R and S (see figure).
C. a chemical reaction occurred when the two liquids were mixed
A chemical compound made up of ions by forces that create ionic bonding. It is a neutral compound.
