Interpretation:
A mechanism for the inter-conversion of 1,2 adduct and 1,4 adduct formed by the reaction of HBr with 1,3-butadiene which are in equilibrium at 40°C is to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
The mechanism of the interconversion required takes place through i) ionization of the halide to yield an allyl carbocation b) resonance delocalization to yield a different allyl carbocation c) attack of bromide ion on both carbocations.
To propose:
A mechanism for the inter-conversion of 1,2 adduct and 1,4 adduct formed by the reaction of HBr with 1,3-butadiene which are in equilibrium at 40°C.

- Enamines normally react with methyl iodide to give two products: one arising from alkylation at nitrogen and the second arising from alkylation at carbon. For example, Heating the mixture of C-alkylation and N-alkylation products gives only the product from C-alkylation. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.arrow_forwardBicyclo-2,5-heptadiene can be prepared in two steps from cyclopentadiene and vinyl chloride. Provide a mechanism for each step.arrow_forward5. Compound A, C 10H 18O, undergoes reaction with dilute H 2SO 4 at 50 °C to yield a mixture of two alkenes, C 10H 16. The major alkene B, gives only cyclopentanone after ozone treatment followed by reduction with zinc in acetic acid. Which of the following reactions are correct.arrow_forward
