Chapter 6.6B, Problem 6.9P
The light-initiated reaction of 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene with N-bromosuccimmide (NBS) gives two products:
- a. Give a mechanism for this reaction, showing how the two products arise as a consequence of the resonance-stabilized intermediate.
- b. The bromination of cyclohexene using NBS gives only one major product, as shown on the previous page Explain why there is no second product from an allylic shift.
