The reaction of 1-iodopropane with potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) in certain solvents results in the formation of two isomeric products, propylthiocyanate and propylisothiocyanate (see scheme below), via the SN2 reaction mechanism. Attempts to prepare a similar mixture of these same isomeric products (propylthiocyanate and propylisothiocyanate) starting from 1-propene is illustrated below. Despite the strong acidity of thiocyanic acid (recall pKa = 1.1), this addition reaction does not lead to either of the products indicated. Based on your knowledge of alkene addition reactions, explain this experimental result.

You are required to synthesize 2-bromopentane from the reaction between an alkene with HBr. Which alkene, 1-pentene or 2-pentene, should you react with HBr in order to get 2-bromopentane? Give an explanation.
Both cis- and trans-2-methylcyclohexanol undergo dehydration in warm sulfuric acid to give 1-methylcyclohexene as the major alkene product. These alcohols can also be converted to alkenes by tosylation using TsCl and pyridine, followed by elimination using KOC(CH3)3 as a strong base. Under these basic conditions, the tosylate of cis-2-methylcyclohexanoleliminates to give mostly 1-methylcyclohexene, but the tosylate of trans-2-methylcyclohexanol eliminates to give only 3-methylcyclohexene. Explain how this stereochemical difference in reactants controls a regiochemical difference in the products of the basic elimination, but not in the acid-catalyzed elimination.
