fluorination of alkanes is highly exothermic. Per Hammond’s postulate, assume that the transition state for radical fluorination is almost identical to the starting material. Assuming this fact, estimate the fraction of each monofluoro product formed in the fluorination of 2-methylbutane.
Reaction of HBr with 3-methylcyclohexene yields a mixture of four products: cis-and trans-1-bromo-3-methylcyclohexane and cis-and trans-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane. The analogous reaction of HBr with 3-bromocyclohexene yields trans-1, 2-dibromocyclohexane as the soleproduct. Draw structures of the possible intermediates, and then explain why only a single product is formed in this reaction.
Define the Mechanism of the Radical Addition of HBr to an Alkene ?
The rate law for addition of Br2 to an alkene is first orderin Br2 and first order in the alkene. Does this informationsuggest that the mechanism of addition of Br2 to analkene proceeds in the same manner as for addition of HBr?Explain.
The bicyclic alkene P can be prepared by thermal electrocyclic ringclosure from cyclodecadiene Q or by photochemical electrocyclic ringclosure from cyclodecadiene R. Draw the structures of Q and R, andindicate the stereochemistry of the process by which each reactionoccurs.
Draw the structure(s) of all of the alkene isomers, C5H10, that contain a branched chain. Consider E/Z stereochemistry of alkenes.
Which of the statement is INCORRECT? a. The increase in stability of 2,4-hexadiene over 1,3-hexadiene is due to the increased double bond substitution of the former. b. The stabilization of dienes by conjugation is less pronounced than the aromatic stabilization of benzene. c. Resonance description in alkenes usually involves charge separation. d. Higher energy pi-orbitals often have decreasing number of nodes.
