To determine: The reaction energy diagram for the acid-base reaction of tert-butyl alcohol with
Interpretation: The reaction energy diagram for the acid-base reaction of tert-butyl alcohol with
Concept introduction: The graphical representation of chemical reaction in which x-axis represents energy of the reaction and y-axis represents the extent of reaction process is called energy profile diagram. The reaction is exothermic or endothermic can be predicted from the energy profile diagram.

- How does increasing base, solvent, or alkyl halide or aptly halide + base affect or decreasing them affect the reaction rate for e2/e1 and sn2/sn1? Please provide examplesarrow_forwardShow the arrow pushing mechanism for getting tropylium ion from the benzylic carbocationarrow_forwardWhy are solventless reactions generally faster than reactions done in solution? Why is it important to ensure that the compounds are mixed well during a solventless reaction?arrow_forward
- Circle which compound would be more reactive in a reaction with HCN at pH of 10. Circle one compound from 1a and one compound from 2.arrow_forwardWrite structures for the carbonyl electrophile and enolate nucleophile that react to give the aldol below. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. Draw the enolate nucleophile in its carbanion form. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate multiple reactants using the + sign from the drop-down menu.arrow_forward- The reaction that will be carried out in the lab will convert 9-fluorenol to 9-methoxy fluorene usinga nucleophilic substitution reaction. Question: Why is concentrated sulfuric acid used in this reaction and not aqueous acid? Draw the reaction and show the equilibrium that is dependent on the acid.arrow_forward
- Can you mark the part of compound 4 that are from compound 2? Also is compound 2 act as an nucleophile or electrophile when it reacted with compound 1?arrow_forwardWithout changing reagent concentrations or amounts, what change could one make to the reaction shown below that would increase its reaction rate explain your reasoning?arrow_forward
