A chemist wanted to determine experimentally the relative ease of removing a hydrogen atom from a tertiary, a secondary, and a primary carbon by a chlorine radical. He allowed 2-methylbutane to undergo chlorination at 300 °C and obtained as products 36% 1-chloro-2-methylbutane, 18% 2-chloro-2-methylbutane, 28% 2-chloro-3-methylbutane, and 18% 1-chloro-3-methylbutane. What values did he obtain for the relative ease of removing a hydrogen atom from tertiary, secondary, and primary hydrogen carbons by a chlorine radical under the conditions of his experiment?

Elimination of HBr from 2-bromonorbornane gives only 2-norbornene and no 1-norbornene. How do you account for the regioselectivity of this dehydrohalogenation? In answering this question, you will find it helpful to look at molecular models of both 1-norbornene and 2-norbornene and analyze the strain in each.
Conversion of an alkene to a halohydrin and internal displacement of a halide ion by an alkoxide ion are both stereoselective. Use this information to demonstrate that the configuration of the alkene is preserved in the epoxide. As an illustration, show that reaction of cis-2-butene by this two-step sequence gives cis-2,3- dimethyloxirane (cis-2-butene oxide).

1,3-pentadiene reacts with HBr. When the double bond at the 3-position reacts, the hydrogen attaches to the 4-carbon, thus forming an allylic carbocation with delocalized electrons. This carbocation has another resonance structure. Because there are equal amounts of diene and hydrogen bromide, in which molecule only one of the double bonds reacts. Which of the following correctly describes this new resonance structure? a) It has a double bond between carbons 3 and 4 b) It has a positive charge on carbon 2 c) It has a positive charge on carbon 4 d) It has a double bond between carbons 2 and 3
