The pK, of cyclopentadiene (1) and cycloheptatriene (II) are around 16 and 36 respectively. Which of the following is not a validexplanation for the large difference in the two pK, values?%3DO The conjugate base of cyclopentadiene (1) is an aromatic anion.The conjugate base of cycloheptatriene (1) is a nonaromatic anion.O if the conjugate base of cycloheptatriene (I1) was flat it would be antiaromatic.O The conjugate base of cycloheptatriene (I1) is less stable due to aromaticity.The conjugate base of cyclopentadiene (1) is more stable due to aromaticity.eTextbook and Merdia

fill in the blanks. If there are unshared pairs of electrons on the atoms directly attached to the aromatic ring, they are the groups that provide electrons to the ring with the effect of ……………… and are ………………… directive towards electrophiles. Groups that are double bonded to a more electronegative atom than the atoms directly attached to the ring are ……… steers that withdraw electrons from the ring with the effect of … Groups whose electronegativity is higher than the sp2 carbon of the ring directly attached to the ring will withdraw electrons from the ring as ............. and ……… they are routers. Halogens, on the other hand, withdraw electrons from the ring as ………......... due to their high electronegativity and are ……….. directing.
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.

Which of the following is statements is/are TRUE about the experiment on the relative rates of electrophilic aromatic substitution?I. The experiment must be performed in dark conditions. II. Using the same solvents, a faster decolorization will be observed in aniline as compared to ethylbenzene. III. Chlorobenzene will react faster than methoxybenzene. IV. The use of AlCl3 in the halogenation of aromatic compounds using elemental bromine could hasten the reaction.

(a) How many Stereoisomers are possible for 9,10- dibromoexadecanoic acid?(b) Addition of bromine to palmitoleic acid primarily yields a set of enantiomers, (±) -three-9,10-dibromohexadecanoic acid. The addition of bromine is an anti-addition to the double bond (ie, it appears to occur through the intermediary of the bromonium ion). Taking into account the stereochemistry of the cis double bond of palmitoleic acid and the stereochemistry of adding bromine,Write a three-dimensional structure for (±) -three-9,10-dibromohexadecanoic acid!
