- (b) Addition of HBr to the alkene in the presence of peroxide form radical intermediates. Based on the following reaction, use the curved arrows to HBr B (preferred product) ROOR (i) show the initiation step of this reaction. (ii) draw the possible structures of the two radicals formed in the propagation step. (ii) explain the formation of the preferred product B.arrow_forward(3) HI does not undergo free radical addition with 1-butene, even in the presence of a peroxide. Please provide an explanation by analyzing the propagation steps if the same radical reaction occurred with HI. Besides the bond dissociation enthalpies in the appendix, the following approximate bond dissociate enthalpies might be useful to you: ~310 kJ/mol The component of C=C CH3CH₂CH₂CH₂-Br CH3CH₂CH₂CH2-I -290 kJ/mol (C-Br bond) ~235 kJ/mol (C-I bond)arrow_forwardDraw the structure for each of the following molecules. (a) 1,3-divinylcyclohexane; (b) 3-allyl-4-vinylcyclopentene;(c) dimethylacetylene; (d) divinyl ether; (e) 4-vinylocta-1,3,7-triene; (f) 2-allylcyclohexa-1,3-dienearrow_forward
- The rate law for addition of Br2 to an alkene is first orderin Br2 and first order in the alkene. Does this informationsuggest that the mechanism of addition of Br2 to analkene proceeds in the same manner as for addition of HBr?Explain.arrow_forwardThe enamine prepared from acetone and dimethylamine is shown here in its lowest-energy form. (a) What is the geometry and hybridization of the nitrogen atom? (b) What orbital on nitrogen holds the lone pair of electrons? (c) What is the geometric relationship between the p orbitals of the double bond and the nitrogen orbital that holds the lone pair? Why do you think this geometry represents the minimum energy?arrow_forwardQ4 Which statement below about Snl reactions is incorrect? (A) SNl reactions are stepwise and have intermediates. (B) The slow step in a Snl reaction is formation of the carbocation intermediate. (C) SNl reactions have first order kinetics which means only the alkyl halide is involved in the rate limiting step. (D) The products of a Syl reaction will be a pair of enantiomers. (E) An aprotic solvent is best for Snl reactions as they tend to help stabilize carbocation intermediates.arrow_forward
- (a) Draw the structures of the two possible products that can result from treating 1-ethylcyclohexene with hydrogen bromide and very briefly explain which one will be favoured). (b) Draw the curly arrow mechanism for the formation of the favoured productarrow_forward(a) When (Z)-3-methylhex-3-ene undergoes hydroboration–oxidation, two isomericproducts are formed. Give their structures, and label each asymmetric carbon atomas (R) or (S). What is the relationship between these isomers?(b) Repeat part (a) for (E)-3-methylhex-3-ene. What is the relationship between the productsformed from (Z)-3-methylhex-3-ene and those formed from (E)-3-methylhex-3-ene?arrow_forward5. Consider the following reaction: H-CI (ii) (i) intermediate product (a) Use curved arrows to indicate the electron flow in step (i). (b) Provide the line structure of the carbocation intermediate that forms in the reaction above. (c) Use curved arrows to show the electron flow in step (ii). (d) Explain briefly why the reaction in (ii) is regioselective.arrow_forward
- Q4 Which statement below about Sn1 reactions is incorrect? (A) SN1 reactions are stepwise and have intermediates. (B) The slow step in a SN1 reaction is formation of the carbocation intermediate. (C) SN1 reactions have first order kinetics which means only the alkyl halide is involved in the rate limiting step. (D) The products of a SN1 reaction will be a pair of enantiomers. (E) An aprotic solvent is best for Sn1 reactions as they tend to help stabilize carbocation intermediates.arrow_forward3c)Referring to the intermediates you drew in problem below explain in detail why no meta product is obtained in the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of chlorobenzene. Draw all pertinent resonance structures to support your argument.arrow_forward3. (a) Draw the structure of 1-ethylcyclohexene (B). (b) Draw the structures of the two possible products that can result from treating B with hydrogen bromide and very briefly explain which one will be favoured). (c) Draw the curly arrow mechanism for the formation of the favoured productarrow_forward
