(a)
Interpretation:
The given
Concept Introduction:
Carbocation: it is carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.
Leaving group: it is a fragment that leaves from a substrate with a pair of electrons via heterolytic bond cleavage.
Carbocation stability order:
Resonance stabilization: Due to the delocalization of electrons within the molecule the overall energy becomes lower and makes that molecule more stable.
Nucleophile: Nucleophiles are species that donate an electron pair and are also termed as electron-hating species.
Electrophile: Electrophiles are species that accept an electron pair and are also termed as electron-loving species.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given alkenes should be arranged in increasing rate when they react with

- Consider a reaction where cis-but-2-ene is treated with OsO4 followed by NaHSO3/H2O. Draw the structure of one product that is formed in the reaction, including correct stereochemistry.arrow_forwardOximene and myrcene, two hydrocarbons isolated from alfalfa that have the molecular formula C10H16, both yield 2,6- dimethyloctane when treated with H2 and a Pd catalyst. Ozonolysis of oximene forms (CH3)2C = O, CH2 = O, CH2(CHO)2, and CH3COCHO. Ozonolysis of myrcene yields (CH3)2C = O, CH2 = O, (two equiv), and HCOCH2CH2COCHO. Identify the structures of oximene and myrcene.arrow_forwardAlkenes can be hydrated to form alcohols by (1) hydroboration followed by oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxide and (2) acid-catalyzed hydration. Compare the product formed from each alkene by sequence (1) with those formed from (2). Q.) Propenearrow_forward
