- Addition of HBr to 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene gives a mixture of two isomeric alkyl bromide products. Please daw structures for the two products, and give a mechanistic explanation for their formation.arrow_forwardQuestion: How do quantum mechanical effects influence the stability and reactivity of molecules with non-classical carbocations, such as the 2-norbornyl cation, and how does this impact the reaction mechanisms and outcomes?arrow_forwardSuppose you were told that each reaction is a substitution reaction, but you were not told the mechanism. Describe how you could conclude from the structure of the haloalkane or cycloalkene, the nucleophile, and the solvent that each reaction is an SN1 reaction.arrow_forward
- Write the mechanisms of the following reactions and examine the products as stereoisomeric.arrow_forwardWhen 3-bromo-1-methylcyclohexene undergoes solvolysis in hot ethanol, two productsare formed. Propose a mechanism that accounts for both of these productsarrow_forwardThere are a variety of isometric 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexanes, but one of them does not react with CH3CH2O- to give an elimation product. Provide the structures of this compound and briefly explain why it does not reactarrow_forward
- Complete the following mechanism for the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of 1-vinyl-2-phenylcyclopropane to give both isomers (E / Z) of 5-bromo-5-phenyl-2-pentene employing the curved-arrow/arrow-pushing formalism.arrow_forward(a) Give a mechanism for this reaction, showing how the two products arise as aconsequence of the resonance-stabilized intermediate.(b) The bromination of cyclohexene using NBS gives only one major product, as shown onthe previous page. Explain why there is no second product from an allylic shift.arrow_forwardExplain, with reference to the mechanism, why addition of one equivalent of HCl to diene A forms only two products of electrophilic addition, even though four constitutional isomers are possible.arrow_forward
- Show how free-radical halogenation might be used to synthesize the followingcompounds. In each case, explain why we expect to get a single major product.(a) 1-chloro-2,2-dimethylpropane (neopentyl chloride)arrow_forwardShow that the [4 + 4] cycloaddition of two butadiene molecules to give cycloocta1,5-diene is thermally forbidden but photochemically allowedarrow_forwardPredict the final product(s) obtained when (2R,3R)-2-bromo-3-methylpentane is subjected to the following sequence of reactions, briefly explaining your rationale. For each step, provide the stepwise mechanism and the regiochemical and stereochemical details as relevant. 1. NaOC2H5/C2H5OH, heat 2. BH3, THF 3. H2O2, OHarrow_forward
