- ] The reaction of 2-bromopropane and sodium ethoxide in ethanol reacts 6.7 times faster than 2-bromo-1-deuteriopropane under the same conditions. Explain what mechanism this data is consistent with, and whyarrow_forwardElectrophilic addition to an alkene proceeds via Markovnikov regiochemistry due to the formation of the more stable carbocation intermediate. In the case of conjugated dienes, that is dienes that are separated by one sigma bond, the carbocation that is formed is stabilized additionally by resonance. Addition of the nucleophile to the carbocation intermediate can therefore give two types of products: direct addition to the double bond, also called 1,2-addition, and conjugate addition to the resonance stabilized carbocation, also called 1,4-addition.Allylic carbocation stability is affected by both the nature of the carbocation (primary allylic, secondary allylic, or tertiary allylic) and by the degree of substitution of the double bond. The latter is typically the dominant effect and so a primary allylic carbocation with a trisubstituted double bond is more stable than a tertiary allylic carbocation with a monosubstituted double bond.Electrophilic addition to a conjugated diene is…arrow_forwardCan someone Outline a chemical reaction for the formation of the compound and explain it and detail I really need to understand what is going on in the mechanismarrow_forward
- Explain why free-radical halogenation usually gives mixture of products.arrow_forwardConsider two SN1 reactions: (A) water and tert-butylbromide and, (B) water and 2- bromopropane, both having the same concentration of reactants. which reaction will be faster Draw an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram showing only the rate-determining step for both reactions on the same set of axes (assume potential energies are the same)arrow_forwardWrite the steps that are critical in the following reaction in order to explain the stereo-chemical outcome at the carbon marked with the asterisk.arrow_forward
- What reaction presented in this chapter is occurring in the following equation? Explain the resulting stereochemistry of the reaction.arrow_forwardHeterocyclic compounds plays an important role in our daily life. They are mainly used in pharmaceutical and agrochemical products to name a few. 3. It is required to introduce a halogen group to a five membered ring, thiophene. Discuss the reaction mechanism involved in the reaction by selecting a suitable halogen group and analyze why a particular substituted product obtained after the reaction is predominant over the other possible product(s) with the help of reactions.arrow_forward2. Isomerization of alkenes can be achieved through conjugate addition of nucleophiles. Examine the reaction below and answer the questions that follow: i) ii) iv) bigg Starting Alkene Alkene Product Give the chemical structure of the Alkene Product that is formed (NB: Show and label the geometry of the Alkene Product). Explain why geometry given in i) above is preferred. What is likely to be the geometry of the Starting Alkene? Give the full mechanism through which the isomerization is likely to occur.arrow_forward
