Chapter 13, Problem 54P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The resonating structures and resonance hybrid for the carbocation that could result from the ionization of bromine from 5bromo1,3pentadiene are to be drawn. Based on the model, the most important contributing resonance structure for this cation is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Resonance means delocalization of electrons within a molecule. It is also known as mesomerism.

A molecule in which delocalization of electron takes place is shown by various contributing structures and these contributing structures are called resonating structures.

1,3-pentadiene reacts with HBr. When the double bond at the 3-position reacts, the hydrogen attaches to the 4-carbon, thus forming an allylic carbocation with delocalized electrons. This carbocation has another resonance structure. Because there are equal amounts of diene and hydrogen bromide, in which molecule only one of the double bonds reacts. Which of the following correctly describes this new resonance structure? a) It has a double bond between carbons 3 and 4 b) It has a positive charge on carbon 2 c) It has a positive charge on carbon 4 d) It has a double bond between carbons 2 and 3
Propose a structure for an aromatic hydrocarbon, C3H10, that can form three C3H,Br products on substitution of a hydrogen on the aromatic ring with bromine. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. In cases where there is more than one answer, just give one. • Ignore the ortho, para-directing effects of the alkyl groups in answering this question. Consider only the number of nonequivalent hydrogens on the aromatic ring. .... ChemDoodle
