- Order the following sets from most reactive #1 to least reactive #4arrow_forwardCan someone explain why the answer is D and not C. I need help with the stereochemistry. Thank youarrow_forwardWhat other alkene is also formed along with Y in Sample Problem 9.3? What alkenes would form from X if no carbocation rearrangement occurred?arrow_forward
- What are the intermediates J, K and L? What regiochemistry and stereochemistry is involved in each step? Why is M the only stereoisomer formed?arrow_forwardWhat other alkene is also formed along with Y in Sample Problem 9.3 (Attached) ? What alkenes would form from X if no carbocation rearrangement occurred?arrow_forwardRank the following alkenes from least to most stable. Then explain why you picked this order.arrow_forward
- Which alkene in each pair has the larger heat of hydrogenation?arrow_forwardDraw all resonance structures for the carbocation formed by ortho attack of +NO2 on each starting material. Label any resonance structures that are especially stable or unstable with reasonsarrow_forwardWhat happens to the rate of an SN2 reaction under the following conditions? [RX] is tripled, and [:Nu−] stays the same.arrow_forward
