Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.49P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The differences for stability of two given carbocations that is
Concept introduction:
Carbocation: The carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.
Carbocation stability order:
The general carbocation stability order is as follows,
Resonance stabilization: Due to the delocalization of electrons within the molecule the overall energy becomes lower and makes that molecule more stable.

Carbocations undergo 1,2-methyl shift or 1,2-hydride shift to produce a more stable intermediate. Give the major product(s) obtained from the reaction of the alkene with HBr.SHOW THE FORMATION OF THE CARBOCATION, THE SHIFT THAT MAY OCCUR, AND THE MAJOR PRODUCT FORMED.
What would the major organic reaction product be from the reaction of 1-bromo-1-methylcyclopentane withsodium hydroxide? Would the elimination reaction outcome be affected if a student accidentally adds sodium tertbutoxide instead of sodium hydroxide?
Given that a primary carbocation is less stable than a tertiary carbocation, would you expect that a reaction that creates a primary carbocation would be more or less responsive to solvent polarity than a reaction that creates a tertiary carbocation, and why?
