Concept introduction:
Addition of bromine to alkynes occurs through the formation of a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate. Water being nucleophilic, if present will attack the bromonium ion to yield an enol. The enol will then tautomerize to a
To propose:
A mechanism for the reaction in which ethynylbenzene reacts with bromine and water to yield a bromoketone is to be proposed. Further to state to what reaction of alkenes this reaction resembles.

- Propose a mechanism for each of the following reactions: The topic is reactions of alkynesarrow_forward1. i.What are the various ways by which alkenes may be synthesized? ii. Give two examples each of Unsymmetrical alkenes and reagents. iii. Give two examples of reactions of alkenes that result in Anti-Markonikov’s addition productsarrow_forwardIf the given alkyne product below is subjected to acetylide formation followed by nucleophilic substitution by a primary alkyl halide, show how the following product (lower part of the pic) is formed.arrow_forward
- what is the expected major product of HBr addition to the alkene shown below? Show the mechanismarrow_forwardInternal alkynes are able to selectively form one product when subjected to most reaction conditions. T or F Alkynes react with one equivalent of acid to create a carbocation for Markovnikov addition. T or F Alkynes react very similarly to alkenes. Understanding the mechanisms from chapter 12 will help understand the reaction pathways in chapter 13 where mechanisms are not explicitly drawn. T or Farrow_forwardThe Wolff–Kishner reaction uses hydrazine (H2NNH2) and hydroxide (–OH) to reduce a carbonyl to the alkane. The first steps of the mechanism convert a carbonyl to a hydrazone in a manner similar to imine formation. Draw the mechanism arrows for the reaction from the hydrazone to the alkane. Be sure to add lone pairs of electrons and nonzero formal charges to all species.arrow_forward
- What new products are obtained from metathesis of the following alkyne?arrow_forwardpredict the products of the following substitution reactions, and specify whether each proceeds by Sn1 or Sn2. Pay attention to stereochemistry.arrow_forwardTertiary alkyl halides will react by E2 under neutral conditions under acidic conditions under basic conditions will not react by E2arrow_forward
- A chemist requires a large amount of 1-bromo-5-methyl-2-hexene as starting material for a synthesis and decides to carry out the following NBS allylic bromination reaction in the presence of UV light. Draw the structures of all of the observed products.arrow_forwardThe addition of H2O with ethynylcyclohexane will lead to what major product?arrow_forwardDraw the major and minor neutral organic products that would form when the alkene below undergoes acid-catalyzed hydration. ignore the stereochemistry, so your two products should be regioisomers.arrow_forward
