Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The electron-rich sites and electron-poor sites in the given elementary steps are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
An atom with partial or full negative charge is an electron-rich site whereas an atom with partial or full positive charge is an electron-poor site. In an elementary step, electrons tend to flow from an electron-rich site to an electron-poor site.
(b)
Interpretation:
In each of the given elementary steps the appropriate curved arrows are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The curved arrow is drawn from electron rich site to an electron poor site to show the flow of electrons from electron-rich site to electron-poor site. The first curved arrow is drawn from the lone pair of negatively charged atom of electron-rich site to the less electronegative atom of electron-poor site. The second curved arrow is drawn from the region between the less electronegative atom and more electronegative atom towards the more electronegative atom indicating the breaking of bond.
(c)
Interpretation:
The names of each elementary step are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
In the bimolecular substitution reaction
An elementary step in which a proton is transferred from electron-poor site to electron- rich site and one bond is broken and another is formed simultaneously is called proton transfer step.

- Write a synthesis reaction for this mechanism:arrow_forwardConsider this reaction: Br CH;OH Br-Br H3CO The mechanism proceeds through a first cationic intermediate, intermediate 1. Nucleophilic attack leads to intermediate 2, which goes on to form the final product. In cases that involve a negatively charged nucleophile, the attack of the nucleophile leads directly to the product. Br + CH3OH Br Intermediate 1 Intermediate 2 (product) In a similar fashion, draw intermediate 1 and intermediate 2 (final product) for the following reaction. OH + Br2 + HBr Br racemic mixturearrow_forwardHow do you determine the mechanism to these reactions to get the products?arrow_forward

- The reaction shown here, which converts an epoxide into a bromohydrin, is discussed in Chapter 10. It consists of the two elementary steps shown. For each step (i and ii), (a) identify all electron-rich sites and all electron-poor sites, (i) H H-Br BrO + H3C (b) draw in the appropriate curved arrows to show the bond formation and bond breaking that occur, and (c) name the elementary step. (i) BrO Но H3C H3C Brarrow_forwardDraw step by step the reaction mechanism of the following reactionarrow_forwardConsider the mechanism for 1,2 and 1,4 addition reactions. If the cation intermediate is the same in energy on the reaction coordinate diagram, how do different products form selectively? Alkene stability dictates the reaction. Reaction conditions control which product is formed. The transition state: once the new bonds start to form, the cations are no longer in resonance and the transition states become different in energy. Activation energy distinguishes the products.arrow_forward
