Also, which ismore stable the E isomer or the Z isomer of 2-Chloro, 2-Butenearrow_forwardFriedel–Crafts alkylation of benzene with (R)-2-chlorobutane and AlCl3 affords sec-butylbenzene. Would you expect the product to exhibit optical activity? Explain, with reference to the mechanism.arrow_forwardAs the molecular weight of alkenes increases, the boiling points also increase. Which ofthe following factors is best associated to this trend? *Dipole interactionGeometric isomerismStructural isomerismSurface areaA radical substitution reaction is primarily observed in the following reactions. Whichreaction is it? *Oxidation of but-2-eneChlorination of butaneBoiling of hex-3-eneCombustion of methaneWhich among the following compounds has the most electronegative carbon in itsstructure? *ButyneBenzeneBenzaldehydeCyclobutanearrow_forward
- Compound K reacted with bromine in the presence of UV light. Predict the free radical substitution mechanism that occurredarrow_forwardRank the following hydrocarbons in order of decreasing rates of light-catalyzed bromination. Give the theoretical explanation for the order. Also, give the major bromination product for each.arrow_forwardOrganotin compounds play a significant role in diverse industrial applications. They have been used as plastic stabilizers and as pesticides or fungicides.One method used to prepare simple tetraalkylstannanes is the controlled direct reaction of liquid tin(IV) chloride with highly reactive trialkylaluminum compounds, such as liquid triethylaluminum (Al(C2H5)3). 3SnCl4 + 4Al(C2H5)3 3Sn(C2H5)4 + 4AlCl3 In one experiment, 0.230 L of SnCl4 (d = 2.226 g/mL) was treated with 0.396 L of triethylaluminum (Al(C2H5)3); d = 0.835 g/mL). If 0.335 L of tetraethylstannane (d = 1.187 g/mL) were actually isolated in this experiment, what was the percent yield?arrow_forward
- Dehydrohalogenation of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopropane affords two alkenes (A and B) as products. Explain why A is the major product despite the fact that it contains the less substituted double bond.arrow_forwardStereoisomers of α-bromocinnamic acid: draw the reaction mechiansim with arows for the dehydrobromination of 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid with ethanol and KOH to produce (Z)-α-bromocinnamic acid and (E)-α-bromocinnamic acid. Also draw the transition state for The (Z)-isomer syn-periplanar transition state and anti-periplanar transition state of the (E)-isomer.arrow_forwardOrganotin compounds play a significant role in diverse industrial applications.

One method used to prepare simple tetraalkylstannanes is the controlled direct reaction of liquid tin(IV) chloride with highly reactive trialkylaluminum compounds, such as liquid triethylaluminum (Al(CzHs)3). 3SnCl4 + 4Al(C2H5)3 → 3Sn(C2H5)4 + 4AlCl3 In one experiment, 0.160 L of SnCl4 (d= 2.226 g/mL) was treated with 0.346 L of triethylaluminum (Al(C2H5)3); d = 0.835 g/mL). What is the theoretical yield in this experiment (mass of tetraethylstannane, Sn(C2H5)4)? If 0.257L of tetraethylstannane (d= 1.187 g/mL) were actually isolated in this experiment, what was the percent yield?arrow_forward
- Alkyl halides undergo elimination reactions to produce alkenes by the reacting with strong bases as shown in the following reaction (see image). In general, compounds where the halogen is axial (axial position) are much more reactive than those in which they are in the equatorial position. Taking the above into account: a. Which of the following compounds would give a faster elimination reaction: cis-1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane or trans-1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane? Draw the corresponding structures and clearly explain the choice.arrow_forward(a) When (Z)-3-methylhex-3-ene undergoes hydroboration–oxidation, two isomericproducts are formed.
