Two types of transition states are likely to occur in this shift such as chair-like and boat-like transition states. According to the Frontier-Molecular-Orbital theory, both the transition states are allowed transition states inspite of the stability difference. The product obtained from the chair-like transition state has trans-conformation whereas the product obtained from the boat-like transition state has cis-conformation.

- C(CH3)2OH C(CH3):X +H20 where (X=F, CI, Br, I) give reaction with each of halogen as well determine with which halogen substitution reaction is more favorable and feasible and give reason of its feasibility?arrow_forward• 1. The HCo(CO)4 complex can catalyze the isomerization of pure cis-2-butene to a mixture of cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, and 1-butene. Propose a mechanism. Carefully show the process using wedges and dashes to indicate stereochemistry of each intermediate.arrow_forwardConsider a hypothetical chemical reaction between compound A and compound B, which produces compound C as the final product. The reaction is known to be exothermic and spontaneous. However, when the reaction is carried out under certain conditions, it fails to occur. Explain this observation and propose a potential solution to overcome this hurdle.arrow_forward
- (a) Compound D undergoes a reaction with hydrogen bromide, HBr to produce 2-bromobutane. D exists as cis-trans isomers and decolourises bromine solution in methylene chloride, CH2CI2. Sebatian D mengalami tindak balas dengan hidrogen bromida, HBr untuk menghasilkan 2-bromobutana. D wujud sebagai isomer cis-trans dan memudarkan larutan bromin dalam metilena klorida, CH2CI2.

Azulene is a solid with an intense blue color and a dipole moment of 1.0 D. Account for the difference in dipole moments of these constitutional isomers.arrow_forward
- Starting with [Pt(NH3)4]2+ or [PtCl4]2- and using the trans effect sequence, devise a rational procedure for synthesizing [Pt(py)(NH3)(NO2)Cl] with py and Cl positioned trans to one another.arrow_forwardThe first observation that this reaction is not a typical ligand substitution was the dependence on the pKb of the incoming ligand (using alkoxides) on the rate of substitution. It has been hypothesized that this is a base-hydrolysis mechanism. The key steps are shown below. [CoCl(NH3)5]2+ + OH– → [CoCl(NH2)(NH3)4]+ (1) [CoCl(NH2)(NH3)4]+ → [Co(NH2)(NH3)4]2+ + Cl– (2) [Co(NH2)(NH3)4]2+ + H2O → [Co(OH)(NH3)5]2+ + NH3 (3) (2) Our standard rate laws for associative and dissociative ligand substitution are rate = k[ML6][L’] and rate = k[ML6], respectively. Derive a rate law for the base-hydrolysis ligand substitution above where equation 1 is the rate determining step.arrow_forward(a) The Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzene with 2-chloro-3-methylbutane in the presence of AlCl3 occurs with a carbocation rearrangement. Give mechanistic explanation and the product formed.

During an experiment involving conjugated dienes, some doubts arose when discussing the results obtained so far: (a) A student obtained two products from the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Br2. His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results. (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature. Explain the results she obtained using reaction mechanism and based on kinetic and thermodynamic control involving conjugated dienes.arrow_forward(a) What would be the frequencies of the two absorption bands expected to be most prominent in the infrared spectrum of 4-hydroxycycloheptanone (C)? (b) In reality, the lower frequency band of these two is very weak. Draw the structure of an isomer that would exist in equilibrium with C and that explains this observation.arrow_forward
