This may be challenging...
I already memorized all the reactions, but I am just wondering the logic behind this.

2,3-dibromine-2-methyl pentane treated with NaI is supposedly equal to 2-methyl pent-2-ene.

Can anyone please explain why that is? The logics behind it?

Also, how about 2,3-dibromine-pentane reacting with NaNH2 at 150 celcius giving alkyne?

I know these questions are hard to answer, I hope somebody has an explanation.


Thank you!😕

i know this explanation is extremely vulgar, but this is how i think about it.

2,3-dibromine-2-methyl pentane
first of all, are there any other reactancts/intermediate steps?

anyway, NaI is good ****ing the **** out of most other halogens trying to hang around aliphatic chains. so what happens is that the I tries to force itself into an orgy. what it does is that it ****s the first one in the ass so hard, that it just wants to get the hell out of there. after the I is done ****ing the first one, it sees something else to ****, so it goes after that one too. it ****s it in the ass, and trys to find something else to ****, cnat find it, so it gets the **** out of there, leaving two electron poor atoms. these two poor atoms become so hurt and lonely that they decide to be gay, and start ****in with eachother even more than they already are, and marry eachother by adding an aditional bond.

i hope you can make sense of that, and the mods dont delete this. (sorry mods, this is how i remember ochem rxns.)

i have to think about the second one, and i dont have time for that right now, so when i do, i'll put that one up.
