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.
Acetic anhydride reacts with water in the following manner: CH3C(O)-O-C(O)CH3 + H2O = 2CH3CO2 If this reaction is carried out in an inert solvent with low concentrations of both acetic anhydride and water, it follows the rate law rate = k [CH3C(O)-O-C(O)CH3] [H2O] with a rate constant of 0.0035 s-1. However, if low concentrations of acetic anhydride are placed in pure water, it follows the rate law rate = K [CH3C(O)-O-C(O)CH3] where K = 0.1944 s-1. Explain why this is happening.

In the E2-elimination reaction of propyl bromide with sodium ethoxide, a graduate student performed two separate kH/kD experiments. In the first experiment, the student labeled the internal CH2 group with deuterium and compared the rate of this deuterated reactant to that of the protio propyl bromide. In the second experiment, the student labeled the CH2 group attached to the bromide with deuterium and compared the rate of the protio propyl bromide. Predict and rationalize the magnitude for the expected kH/kD for each of these experiments? Classify the isotope measured in each of these experiments as primary/secondary and normal/inverse
