- Bicyclo-2,5-heptadiene can be prepared in two steps from cyclopentadiene and vinyl chloride. Provide a mechanism for each step.arrow_forwardThe reaction of 1-bromopropane and sodium hydroxide in ethanol occurs by an SN2mechanism. What happens to the rate of this reaction under the following conditions?(a) The concentration of NaOH is doubled.(b) The concentrations of both NaOH and 1-bromopropane are doubled.(c) The volume of the solution in which the reaction is carried out is doubled.arrow_forward(c)Show step by step how to synthesize methoxybenzene from benzene.arrow_forward
- (a) Account for the following :(i) Electrophilic substitution reactions in haloarenes occur slowly.(ii) Haloalkanes, though polar, are insoluble in water.(b) Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of reactivity towards SN2 displacement:2-Bromo-2-Methylbutane, 1-Bromopentane, 2-Bromopentanearrow_forwardPara-substituted product was produced when phenol reacts with cyclohexanecarbonyl bromide in the presence of AIB13. -Br Cyclohexanecarbonyl bromide (i) Outline the mechanism for this reaction. (ii) Draw the alternative substituted product formed.arrow_forwardReaction of this bicycloalkene with bromine in carbon tetrachloride gives a trans dibro- mide. In both (a) and (b), the bromine atoms are trans to each other. However, only one of these products is formed. CH3 CH3 CH3 Br Br CH,Cl, + Br2 or Br Br (a) (b) Which trans dibromide is formed? How do you account for the fact that it is formed to the exclusion of the other trans dibromide?arrow_forward
- Two substitution products result from the reaction between 3-chloro-3-methyl-1- butene with sodium acetate (CH3COO – Na +) in acetic acid under SN1. Identify the products.arrow_forwardPlease give the main substitution product for each of the following reactions, and indicate the dominant mechanism: (a) 1-bromopropane + NaOCH3 → (b) 3-bromo-3-methylpentane + NaOC2H5 →arrow_forwardCompound A has molecular formula C4H10, and gives two monochlorides, B and C, on photochemical chlorination. Treatment of either of these monochlorides with potassium tert-butoxide gives the same alkene (C4H8) as the product, but B leads to just one isomer of the alkene, D, where C gives D and another isomer of the alkene, E. Treatment of monochlorides B and C with aqueous ethanol gives products F and G, respectively, both of which are of molecular formula C4H10O. What are the names of compounds A-G?arrow_forward
- Treatment of propadiene (an allene) with hydrogen bromide produces 2-bromopropene as the major product. This suggests that the more stable carbocation intermediate is produced by the addition of a proton to Br HBr. H2C=C=CH, H3C CH2 a terminal carbon rather than to the central carbon. Propadiene 2-Bromopropene (a) Draw both carbocation intermediates that can be produced by the addition of a proton to the allene. (b) Explain the relative stabilities of those intermediates. Hint: Draw the orbital picture of the intermediates and consider whether the CH, groups in propadiene are in the same plane.arrow_forwardWhat are the expected kinetic and thermodynamic products from addition of one mole of Br, to the following dienes?
