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).

Slow reactions can be speeded up by raising the temperature.3. Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature.4. Solid catalysts do not affect reaction rates.5. Reactions involving very unstable combinations of chemicals have large rate constants.arrow_forwardDefine Elimination Reactions ?arrow_forward

- Shown is the reaction energy diagram for a reaction with two possible products. Is it possible to use reaction conditions to influence the relative amounts of the two products? O Yes, because the fastest step does not lead to the most stable product. O Yes, because the fastest step leads to the most stable product. Yes, because the mechanism is two steps. O No.arrow_forwardIn general, a catalyst speeds up the reaction and yields: O a little more product as compared to without the catalyst O substantially more product as compared to without the catalyst O the same amount of product as compared to without the catalyst O less product as compared to without the catalystarrow_forwardReaction coordinate diagrams: Two-step diagram. Label the reactant (R), product (P), intermediate (I"), and transition states (TS; and TS2), plus the axis with appropriate units/labels. 1) Break the diagram up into 2 steps. Which one is the slow step? The fast step? 2) Endothermic or exothermic? Suppose a is added to step one. Sketch the effect of this addition on the diagram. You can identify the intermediates and by remembering: Intermediates are and then Catalysts are added to a reaction (like a reactant), and are at the end. Practice: Identify the reactants, products, intermediate(s), and catalyst(s). Put a star next to the rate-determining step. Step 1 A+B AB (fastest) Step 2 C + AB → ABC Step 3 ABC + D→ ACD + B (fast) diyarrow_forward
