Read these directions carefully. For the reaction of 3-methyl-1-propene with Cl2 and H2O shown below, fill in the details of the mechanism. Draw the appropriate chemical structures and use an arrow to show how pairs of electrons are moved to make and break bonds during the reaction. Be sure to write all lone pairs of electrons and all formal charges. Finally, in the boxes provided by the arrows, write which kind of mechanistic element is being indicated, such as "make a bond", "add a proton", etc.
During the workup portion of the reaction of alkenes with HBr as described in the experiment provided, a student transferred the reaction mixture to a separatory funnel, rinsed the reaction flask with diethyl ether, and added the ether rinses to the separatory funnel. The student then added sodium bicarbonate to the separatory funnel. Extremely vigorous bubbling occurred. What did the student do wrong? Can they still isolate the product? If so describe the next steps the student should take to isolate the product.
Predict the major organic products of the following reaction. You do not need to include stereochemistry in your answer. If no significant reaction will occur under the conditions shown, check the box under the drawing area instead. Note: for the purpose of this problem, simple acid-base reactions between the reagents should not be considered a significant reaction. H₂N 7 + 1.
