Concept Introduction:
Enantiomers are stereoisomers of a compound which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Enantiomers are optically active.
Electrophiles are electron deficient species which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles which accept electron pair.
Nucleophiles are electron rich species which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles which donate electron pair.
Free radical is an atom, molecule or ion that has unpaired electrons which makes it highly chemically reactive.
Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.
Carbocation is a molecule having a carbon atom bearing three bonds and a positive formal charge.
Carbocation are generally unstable because they do not have eight electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
The order of stability of carbocation is such that the tertiary carbocation is the most stable whereas the primary carbocation is the least stable, and secondary carbocation lies between primary and tertiary carbocations.
If primary carbocation is obtained in product, it rearranges itself to secondary or tertiary carbocation to form more stable product.
If secondary carbocation is obtained in product, it rearranges itself to tertiary carbocation to form more stable product.
The stability of carbocation:

- How many different organic products are possible when pentan-2-ol is heated in the presence of acid? Ignore any stereoisomers (cis/trans isomers).arrow_forwardDefine the three stereoisomers of 2,3-dibromobutane?arrow_forwardAs we learned, monosubstituted cyclohexanes exist as anequilibrium mixture of two conformations having either an axial orequatorial substituent. When R = CH2CH3, Keq for this process is 23.When R = C(CH3)3, Keq for this process is 4000. Question: a.) Which R shows the higher percentage of axial conformation at equilibrium?arrow_forward
- Only three stereoisomers are possible for 2,3-dibromo-2, 3-dichlorobutane. Draw them, indicating which pair are enantiomers (optical isomers). Why does the other isomer not have an enantiomer?arrow_forwardUsing reactions, mechanisms, potential energy diagrams, labels, complete sentences, and the associated concepts, explain the following reaction rate trend for the hydrochlorination of alkenes (the addition of HCI). You may assume: 1) the alkenes are all the same higher energy; and, 2) the chloroalkane products are all the same energy; and, 3) the chloroalkane products are lower in energy than the starting alkenes (AGºrx is negative for each reaction).arrow_forwardIt is easy to imagine a cyclohexane as a flat hexagon and a lot of the time we draw it that way. Looking at 1,3,5-triethylcyclohexane we cannot tell the stability of the molecule from looking at the flat 2D drawing. Explain why we need to look at the 3D configuration and what conformation (axial,equatorial) would each of the three ethyl groups be in for the most stable configuration.arrow_forward
- Draw the structure(s) of all of the alkene isomers, C5H10, that contain a branched chain. Consider E/Z stereochemistry of alkenes.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_forwardThe major product formed when methylenecyclohexane is treated with NBS in dichloromethane is 1-(bromomethyl)cyclohexene. Account for the formation of this product.arrow_forward
- (b) Draw the structural formula for each of the following compounds. (i) 2,2,3-trimethylpentan-3-ol(ii) 2-methyl-3-phenylbut-2-enal(iii) 5-chloro-2-methylheptan-3-olarrow_forwardTreatment of cyclohexene with C6H5CHI2 and Zn(Cu) forms two stereoisomers of molecular formula C13H16. Draw their structures and explain why two compounds are formed.arrow_forward(a) 4-Bromo-2-hexene (Z), (R) isomer name: (Z), (S) isomer name: (E), (R) isomer name: (E), (S) isomer name:arrow_forward
