The rate law for addition of Br2Br2 to an alkene is first order in Br2Br2 and first order in the alkene. Does this information suggest that the mechanism of addition of Br2Br2 to an alkene proceeds in the same manner as for addition of HBr? Explain.
Define the Mechanism of the Radical Addition of HBr to an Alkene ?
The rate law for addition of Br2 to an alkenes is first order in Br2 and first order in the alkene. Does this information suggest that the mechanism of addition of Br2 to an alkene proceeds in the same matter as for addition of HBr? Explain.
A benzene ring alters the reactivity of a neighboring group in the so-called “benzylic” position, similarly to how a double bond alters the reactivity of groups in the “allylic” position. Benzylic cations, anions, and radicals are all more stable than simple alkyl intermediates. a) Use resonance structures to show the delocalization of the positive charge, negative charge, and unpaired electron of the benzyl cation, anion, and radical.
