Concept explainers
Interpretation:
In the Pinacol rearrangement name of the intermediate with a positive charge on carbon has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Pinacol rearrangement: For all glycols Pinacol rearrangement occurs. Unsymmetrical vicinal
Step 1: Add proton (protonation of Pinacol using acid catalyst).
Step 2: Break a bond to give a stable molecules or ions (formation of carbocation).
Step 3: 1, 2-shift (migration of substituent from
Step 4: deprotonation occurs (take a proton away).

- Draw the two major organic products for the reaction Need help on this question.arrow_forwardDraw an energy diagram for the addition of hydrobromic acid to pent-1-ene. Two products formin this reaction; draw the curves for both. Label the positions of the reactions, intermediates,and products. What is the name of the product that forms from the curve that has the higher-energy carbocation intermediate? What is the name of the product that forms from the curvethat has the higher-energy first transition state?The product of both the higher-energy carbocation intermediate and higher-energy first transitionstate is 1-bromopentane.arrow_forward#9arrow_forward
