Chapter 7, Problem 62DSP

A Mechanistic Preview of Addition Reactions

The following flow chart connects three of the reactions we have discussed that involve carbocation intermediates. Each arrow may represent more than one elementary step in a mechanism.

Chapter 7, Problem 62DSP, A Mechanistic Preview of Addition Reactions The following flow chart connects three of the reactions

Arrows 1 and 2 summarize the conversion of alcohols to alkyl halides, 3 and 4 the dehydrohalogenation of an alkyl halide to an alkene by the E1 mechanism, and 1 and 4 the formation of an alkene by dehydration of an alcohol.

The reaction indicated by arrow 5 constitutes a major focus of the next chapter. There we will explore reactions that give overall addition to the double bond by way of carbocation intermediates. One such process converts alkenes to alkyl halides ( 5 + 2 ) , another converts alkenes to alcohols ( 5 + 6 ) .

What term best describes the relationship between analkene and a carbocation?

A. Isomers

B. Resonance contributors

C. Alkene is conjugate acid of carbocation

D. Alkene is conjugate base of carbocation

Rearrangements can occur during the dehydration of 1° alcohols even though no 1° carbocation is formed—that is, a 1,2-shift occurs as the C— OH2+ bond is broken, forming a more stable 2° or 3° carbocation, as shown in Equation [1]. Using this information, draw a stepwise mechanism for the reaction shown in Equation [2]. We will see another example of this type of rearrangement in Section 16.5C.
Several reagents and several organic structures are shown below. Construct a multistep synthetic route from the reactant 2-methyl-1-butene to the product 3-bromo-2-methyl-2-butanol by dragging the appropriate pieces into the bins. Note that each bin will hold only one item, and not every given reagent or structure will be used.
Organic chemistry student Everett has set up two separate electrophilic addition reactions with 2-butyne (shown below). In reaction (i) the alkyne is treated with 1 equivalent of HBr, which successful provides (Z)-2-bromo-2-butene. In reaction (ii) the alkyne is subjected to a two-step hydroboroation/oxidation sequence. Interestingly, Everett’s second reaction fails to provide the desired methyl ketone and instead has provided butan-2,3-diol. (a) Provide the structure of intermediate X form the first step of reaction (ii). (b) Briefly explain (use structures if necessary) why reaction (i) provided an alkene where as reaction (ii) provided an alkane when only 1 equivalent of the electrophile was used in each reaction.
