Chapter 15, Problem 15.56P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An explanation for the different products obtained by the reaction of 3,3-dimethylbut-1-ene with HBr alone and with HBr+peroxide is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Alkenes and alkynes show addition reaction due to presence of one and two pi-bonds, respectively. Alkanes show substitution reaction due to absence of pi-bond. The addition reaction of alkenes with HBr takes place according to Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov rule.

When 3,3-dimethylbut-1-ene is treated with HBr alone, the major product is 2-bromo-2,3- dimethylbutane. When the same alkene is treated with HBr and peroxide, the sole product is 1-bromo-3,3-dimethylbutane. Explain these results by referring to the mechanisms.
The reaction of (2S)-2-chloro-3-methylpentane with sodium iodide yields two products: (2R)-2-iodo-3-methylpentane and racemic 3-iodo-2-methylpentane. Account for the formation of each of these two products. For each product, you should show how it is formed and what that tells you about the mechanism of that specific reaction.
When 1 mole of buta-1,3-diene reacts with 1 mole of HBr, both 3-bromobut-1-ene and 1-bromobut-2-ene are formed. Propose a mechanism to account for this mixture of products.
