I believe a) is 2-chlorobutane (substitution reaction?), but i am lost when it comes to b). Is the cu part of dehydrogenation reaction? If so then i would think that it may be ethylmethyl ether, but i am not positive. Thoughts? thank you

Think about copper get burnt first in a flame and the colour turns black then it will get contact with the alcohol, the colour is again copper red. What happend? The smell is like fingernail thinner.

I believe you made a 2 degree alcohol; a ketone? The suffix for a ketone is -one so 2-butanone? But I feel my answer to A is thus wrong then....and i feel it may be instead 2-methoxybutane

What's the better leaving group, chloride or methoxy?
