Concept explainers
Explain the relative distribution of produces below using reaction energy diagrams for the hydrogen abstraction step that leads to each product. (The rare-determining seep in radical halogenation is the hydrogen abstraction step.) In energy diagrams for the two pathways, show die relative energies of the transition scares and of the alkyl radical intermediate char results in each case.

- Write the steps that are critical in the following reaction in order to explain the stereo-chemical outcome at the carbon marked with the asterisk.arrow_forwardRank the indicated hydrogen atoms in order of increasing ease of abstraction in a radical halogenation reaction.arrow_forwardGive the complete mechanism, including transition states, for the following reaction. Then draw the potential energy diagram for it and for similar alkylbromides of other substitution patterns. Give the rate law for this type of mechanism. Then give the rate trend based on substitution pattern and explain it using the rate law and potential energy diagram you have provided. Use additional sheets, make sure you draw large enough for your work to be clearly understood, and attach them in order. H" -CI HSCH3 ethanol H3CS- + H" -SCH 3 Explain why 1-chlorobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (shown below) even though it is a tertiary alkyl halide, is virtually unreactive in the SN1 reaction. It has been estimated that it is 10-13 times as reactive as tert-butyl chloride. Hint: consider the preferred geometry of the reactive intermediate.arrow_forward
- Explain why free-radical halogenation usually gives mixture of products.arrow_forwardFor the reaction in part "b", please explain which products are the major and minor products. Also explain which are the kinetic and thermodynamic products.arrow_forwardAs we will learn, many antioxidants–compounds that prevent unwanted radical oxidation reactions from occurring–are phenols, compounds that contain an OH group bonded directly to a benzene ring.a.) Explain why homolysis of the O–H bond in phenol requiresconsiderably less energy than homolysis of the O–H bond in ethanol(362 kJ/mol vs. 438 kJ/mol).b.) Why is the C–O bond in phenol shorter than the C–O bond in ethanol?arrow_forward
- Please show the entire mechanism with curved arrows for the reaction. Why is the reaction considered unfavorable in reference to the stability ladder? Why does the reaction favor the product formation? *please show the resonance structures in the reaction.*arrow_forwardAccording to Hammond's postulate, which of the following is correct? The structure of the transition state of an endothermic reaction will be more similar to the structure of the reagents than to that of the products. The structure of the intermediary in an endothermic reaction will be more similar to the structure of the reagents than to that of the products. The transition state structure of an exothermic reaction will be more similar to reagents than to products. All transition states are more similar to products than reagents All transition states are more similar to reagents than products.arrow_forwardb) Explain in detail what characteristics of the alkyl halide influence whether a mechanism will be SN1 or SN2. c) Explain in detail what characteristics of a nucleophile influence whether a reaction will be SN1 or SN2.arrow_forward

Key terms: backside carbocation elimination frontside hyperconjugation inversion maintenance nucleophile product racemization stronger substitution weaker Alkyl halides undergo A orbital. reactions with Brønsted-Lowry bases. is a sp² hybridized and trigonal planar and contains a vacant p All SN2 reactions proceed with in attack of the nucleophile, resulting of configuration at a stereognic center. Spreading out charge by the overlap of an empty p orbital with an adjacent o bond is called Equilibrium favors the products of nucleophilic substitution when the leaving group is a base than the nucleophile. According the to Hammond postulate, the stability of the determines the rate of its formation. The formation of equal amounts of two enantiomeric products from a single starting material is called A is an electron-rich compound, which donates a pair of electrons to an electron deficient compound, forming a covalent bond.…arrow_forward
