Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The given questions under given set of conditions should be answered.
Concept introduction:
Nucleophile: Nucleophiles are electron rich compounds which donates electrons to electrophilic compounds which results in bond formation.
Nucleophilic nature depends on the negative charge present in the molecule, the solvent in which it present and the electronegativity of the atom.
Electrophile: Electrophiles are electron deficient compounds which accepts electrons from nucleophiles that results in bond formation.
The curved arrows are generally used to indicate the flow of electrons present in the reaction.
Addition Reaction: It is defined as chemical reaction in which two given molecules combines and forms product. The types of addition reactions are electrophilic addition, nucleophilic addition, free radical additions and cycloadditions. Generally, compounds with carbon-hetero atom bonds favors addition reaction.
In addition reaction of
Oxidation Reaction: It involves loss of electrons, addition of oxygen atoms or removal of hydrogen atoms.
Oxidizing Reagents: The chemical agents used to add oxygen or remove hydrogen which finally reduced on oxidizing the other compound.
Carbocation: it is carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.
Carbocation stability order:

- In halogenation reactions, why are halogens added on opposite sides of the compound? because the reaction proceeds via free radical and the pi cloud holding the electron are directed away from each other because of the formation of a halonium ion which sterically blocks one side of the compound thus the other side is open for attack because the halogen should occupy both sides to accommodate the pi clouds None of the above Two equivalents of HCl are added to an alkyne, where do you expect to see the Cl atom? The two Cl atoms will be distributed between the two Carbon atoms involved in the triple bond The two Cl atoms forms a bond with the less substituted carbon Both Cl atoms attach to one carbon, which is the more substituted one A mixture of products are formedarrow_forwardWhat are the characteristics of the a good nucleophile for SN2? How does a chemist tell a strong versus weak or bulky versus not bulky nucleophile? What is the best type of solvent for this reaction? Please define the terms. Thank you.arrow_forwardPlease state which is the main product when 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene reacts with one equivalent of HBr at room temperature for a prolonged time ?arrow_forward
- Order the compounds from most to least reactive in SN2 reactions. Explain why.arrow_forwardCould someone help me with ranking these with how reactive they would be with an SN2 reaction? Thanks :)arrow_forwardIn the chemical reaction between bromocyclohexane and ethanolic silver nitrate solution, a precipitate is definitely formed. Using the skeletal structures of the molecules, write out the skeletal structure of each reaction (don't include the mechanism). Identify what the nucleophile is in each type of reaction, especially within this SN1 reaction. Explain the reactivity of each electrophile/substrate in terms of whether they are tertiary, secondary, primary, etc. for each reaction. Include the overall chemical reaction.arrow_forward
- In the chemical reaction between bromocyclopentane and ethanolic silver nitrate solution, a precipitate is definitely formed. Using the skeletal structures of the molecules, write out the skeletal structure of each reaction (don't include the mechanism). Identify what the nucleophile is in each type of reaction, especially within this SN1 reaction. Explain the reactivity of each electrophile/substrate in terms of whether they are tertiary, secondary, primary, etc. for each reaction. Include the overall chemical reaction.arrow_forwardthe mechanism of halogenation of thiophene, when the halogen added to the position 2 and 3 , also provide the resonance structure and final productarrow_forwardThe 3D image below is that of an allylic carbocation intermediate formed by the protonation of a conjugated diene with HBr. Draw structural formulas for the final reaction products.arrow_forward
- Reaction of this bicycloalkene with bromine in carbon tetrachloride gives a trans dibromide. In both (a) and (b), the bromine atoms are trans to each other. However, only one of these products is formed. Which trans dibromide is formed? How do you account for the fact that it is formed to the exclusion of the other trans dibromide?arrow_forwardIn the chemical reaction between 2-chloro-2-methyl-propane and ethanolic silver nitrate solution, a precipitate is definitely formed. Using the skeletal structures of the molecules, write out the skeletal structure of each reaction (don't include the mechanism). Identify what the nucleophile is in each type of reaction, especially within this SN1 reaction. Explain the reactivity of each electrophile/substrate in terms of whether they are tertiary, secondary, primary, etc. for each reaction. Include the overall chemical reaction.arrow_forwardDo hydration reactions like this one have Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov products? I know that for addition of halides on alkene double bonds, there are Markovnikov products becasue of 1,2-halide/methyl shifts, but there usually aren't shifts in hydration reactions. Essentially, would the Markovnikov/major product for this reaction have a hydroxy group attached to the tertiary carbocation and the anti-Markovnikov/minor product for this reaction have a hydroxy group attached to the adjacent secondary carbocation?arrow_forward
