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 functional group is substituted by any other functional group is called substitution reaction.
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:

- The molecule 2,5-dibromohex-3-ene contains three stereogenic sites: a double bond that can be cis- or trans- and two chirality centers that can be either (R) or (S). Draw structures for and name all possible stereoisomers of 2,5-dibromohex-3-ene. HINT: That means a possible total of 2³ stereoisomers, but there's also the potential for high symmetry or meso stereoisomers, which then reduces the total number of possibilities. Put boxes around pairs of enantiomers, and label meso compounds as "meso," as appropriate.arrow_forwardThe heat of hydrogenation of cis-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-hexene is -154 kJ (-36.7 kcal)/ mol, while that of the trans isomer is only -113 kJ (-26.9 kcal)/mol. Q.) If a catalyst could be found that allowed equilibration of the cis and trans isomers at room temperature (such catalysts do exist), what would be the ratio of trans to cis isomers?arrow_forwardOnly 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_forward
- The major product of the following reaction exists as two stereoisomers. Draw both isomers: show all hydrogen atoms in the structures. Use wedge and dash bonds to indicate the stereochemistry (you don’t need to draw wedge and dash bonds for C-H bonds of CH3 and CH2 groups). Assign stereo configuration of the asymmetric carbon atoms and write the relationship between two isomers.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_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_forward
- The major product formed when methylenecyclohexane is treated with NBS in dichloromethane is 1-(bromomethyl)cyclohexene. Account for the formation of this product.arrow_forward4. Draw all the stereoisomers of (a) 3-chloro-2-pentanol and (b) 2-bromo-3-hydroxybutane. Give the stereochemistry relationships of stereoisomers (indicate which isomers are enantiomers / diastereomers).arrow_forwardWould someone be able to explain conformationally locked enantiomers? What types of structures go under this category and are they still optically active?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_forwardWhich of the following statement is false about conjugated systems? A conjugated system is more stable than an unconjugated A system. The s-trans isomer is favored over the s-cis isomer. A conjugated system has C multiple resonance structures. A conjugated system can only D contain two alkenes.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.) When R = CH2CH3, which conformation is present in higherconcentration?b.) Which R shows the higher percentage of equatorial conformation atequilibrium?arrow_forward
