Interpretation:
Given that cis- and trans-isomers of 2-butene give different cyclopropane products in the Simmons-Smith reaction. The structures of both the products are to be given and the difference is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The reaction given is an example of Simmons-Smith reaction. When CH2I2 is treated with Zn/Cu couple, iodomethylzinc iodide, ICH2ZnI, is formed. This ICH2ZnI transfers a CH2 group to the double bond in
To give:
The structures of the products produced when cis- and trans-isomers of 2-butene react in Simmons-Smith reaction and to explain the difference.

- Drawing on what you know about the stereochemistry of alkene addition reactions, a. write the mechanism for the reaction of 2-butyne with one equivalent of Br2. b. predict the configuration of the product of the reaction.arrow_forwardThe rate law for addition of Br2Br2 to an alkene is first order in Br2Br2 and first order in the alkene. Does this information suggest that the mechanism of addition of Br2Br2 to an alkene proceeds in the same manner as for addition of HBr? Explain.arrow_forwardImagine that phenol (“hydroxybenzene”) and nitrobenzene are reacted (in separate beakers) with a hot solution containing both concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid. A) When chlorobenzene reacts with a hot solution of sulfuric and nitric acids, an interesting result occurs: the reaction is slower than the reaction of the solution with benzene – which is similar to the result of the reaction of the solution with nitrobenzene – but it generates products with the same substitution pattern seen in the reaction of the solution with phenol. Explain why chlorobenzene has this curious reactivity.arrow_forward
