Concept explainers
A C−-D bond is harder to break than a C−-H bond, and, consequently, reactions in which C−-D bonds are broken proceed more slowly than reactions in which C−-H bonds are broken. What mechanistic information comes from the observation that perdeuterated benzene,

- 1a) Provide the mechanism of the reaction below, catalyzed by triethylamine.The reaction should take you three mechanistic steps. Referring to the C=O group that already exists in the starting molecule: b) If this ketone were not present (for example, if it were just an H there instead), would the first step be faster or slower? Briefly explain. c) If this ketone were not present (for example, if it were just an H there instead), would the second step be faster or slower? Briefly explain. d) If 9.21 g of the starting reactant is used and 0.27 g of triethylamine are used, approximately how many reactions will each molecule of triethylamine catalyze? (hint: balance the equation)arrow_forward1. b) Show the MECHANISM for the POLAR addition of molecular chlorine to cyclopentane. c) The reaction of toluene and ethylbenzene was through the alkyl groups, -CH 3 and -CH 2 CH 3, respectively.
