The following reaction scheme shows that the intermediate carbocation from addition of an electrophile to benzene undergoes attack by a base to give the final product. This is because that process (a) gives a more stable carbocation, (b) restores the aromaticity in the product that was lost in the initial addition step, (c) avoids forming a conjugated diene, (d) does not require a strong nucleophile. z: + HZ

Step 2 of the iodination of benzene shows water acting as a base and removing a proton from the sigma complex. We did notconsider the possibility of water acting as a nucleophile and attacking the carbocation, as in an electrophilic addition to an alkene.Draw the reaction that would occur if water reacted as a nucleophile and added to the carbocation. Explain why this type ofaddition is rarely observed.
Draw the major organic products obtained from the reactions below. Be mindful of stereochemistry and regioselectivity. If stereochemistry is included in the product, note that the diast/enant is also included, but not provided due to space. Assume one equivalent unless stated otherwise, or if the reagent is a solvent, oxidant or reductant.
