The reactants, intermediates, final products, and all curved arrows showing bonds forming andbreaking are collectively referred to as the mechanism of a reaction. For the following reactants: a. Explain why the original statement of Markovnikov’s rule does not help in this case, but themodern restatement of Markovnikov’s rule tells you which carbon will get the X (Cl). b. Show the mechanism of the most likely addition reaction between the reactants.
Which is/are NOT TRUE about bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions? Select one or more: 1. A carbocation intermediate is formed. 2. A strong nucleophile displaces a halogen atom in a concerted mechanism. 3. Presence of polar aprotic solvents promotes this reaction. 4. Methyl halides react faster than secondary alkyl halides.
What is the mechanism for the following reaction?
What type of mechanistic step is illustrated below? proton transfer loss of a leaving group nucleophilic attack rearrangement
What is the mechanism and product for the following reaction?
Explain why the alkyl halide shown here reacts much more rapidly with guanine than does a primary alkyl halide (such as pentyl chloride). The alkyl halide can react with two guanines, each in a different DNA chain, thereby cross-linking the chains. Propose a mechanism for the cross-linking reaction.
Draw the neutral organic starting material. The Hint: The reaction conditions support electrophilic addition of Br2 to an alkene's C=C double bond, which would normally yield a dibromo product. However, the product has only one bromine atom, with a C–O bond on the adjacent carbon. This fragment is diagnostic for a halohydrin, where an oxygen nucleophile (water or alcohol) reacts with a bromonium intermediate to generate the O–CH2CH2–Br motif. Work backwards to determine what the starting material must look like. There should be an alcohol and an alkene in the neutral organic starting material.
For each horizontal row of substituted benzenes, indicatea. the one that is the most reactive in an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.b. the one that is the least reactive in an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.c. the one that yields the highest percentage of meta product in an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
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.
In an electrophilic aromatic substitution, the substitution pattern on the product is determine by the directing nature of the substituents on the ring. What controls the substitution pattern in a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction?
Whats the mechanism for the following reaction scheme?
PLEASE ASAP Major products for electrophilic addition transformations. Clearly show stereochemistry where appropriate (using wedged or dashed bond lines, or by writing axial or equatorial bonds). If no reaction is expected, write “NR”.
