Addition of HBr to 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene gives a mixture of two isomeric alkyl bromide products. Please daw structures for the two products, and give a mechanistic explanation for their formation.
A chemist allows some pure (2S,3R)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane to react with a solution of sodium ethoxide(NaOCH2CH3) in ethanol. The products are two alkenes: A (cis-trans mixture) and B, a single pure isomer. Under thesame conditions, the reaction of (2S,3S)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane gives two alkenes, A (cis-trans mixture) and C.Upon catalytic hydrogenation, all three of these alkenes (A, B, and C) give 2,3-diphenylpentane. Determine the structuresof A, B, and C; give equations for their formation; and explain the stereospecificity of these reactions

- Reaction of this bicycloalkene with bromine in carbon tetrachloride gives a trans dibromide. In both (a) and (b), the bromine atoms are trans to each other. However, only one of these products is formed. Which trans dibromide is formed? How do you account for the fact that it is formed to the exclusion of the other trans dibromide?arrow_forwardReaction of -pinene with borane followed by treatment of the resulting trialkylborane with alkaline hydrogen peroxide gives the following alcohol. Of the four possible cis,trans isomers, one is formed in over 85% yield. (a) Draw structural formulas for the four possible cis,trans isomers of the bicyclic alcohol. (b) Which is the structure of the isomer formed in 85% yield? How do you account for its formation? Create a model to help you make this prediction.arrow_forwardLike other electrophiles, carbocations add to alkenes to form new carbocations, which can then undergo substitution or elimination reactions depending on the reaction conditions. With this in mind, consider the following reactions of nerol, a natural product isolated from lemon grass and other plant sources. Treatment of nerol with TsOH forms α-terpineol as the major product, whereas treatment of nerol with chlorosulfonic acid, HSO3Cl, forms a constitutional isomer, α-cyclogeraniol. Write stepwise mechanisms for both processes. Each mechanism involves the addition of an electrophile—a carbocation—to a double bond.arrow_forward
