Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
The alkene that will give 1-bromocyclopentane in an addition reaction is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
In addition reactions small molecules like HCl, H2O, HBr etc. add to the double bond in an alkene to yield a single product. The addition to unsymmetrical
To state:
Which alkene will give 1-bromocyclopentane as product in an addition reaction.
b)
Interpretation:
The alkene that will give 1-ethyl-1-iodocyclopentane in an addition reaction is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
In addition reactions small molecules like HCl, H2O, HBr etc. add to the double bond in an alkene to yield a single product. The addition to unsymmetrical alkenes will follow Markovnikov’s rule which states that “in the addition of HX to an alkene, the H adds to the carbon with fewer alkyl substituents and X adds to the carbon with more alkyl substituents”.
To state:
Which alkene will give 1-ethyl-1-iodocyclohexane as product in an addition reaction.
c)
Interpretation:
The alkene that will give 3-bromohexane in an addition reaction is to be identified.
