(a) Recall, from WP 14.26 (and from lecture), cyclopentadienone and cycloheptatrienone differ drastically in reactivity and stability. One is very stable and unreactive, and the other one is very reactive and rapidly undergoes a dimerization reaction. Which one is particularly stable? Explain why. For the one which is extremely reactive, explain why, but also draw the structure of the dimer which is formed rapidly.

BS21008 Organic Chemistry for the Life Sciences Assignment Week 7 Bearing in mind Huckel's rule, determine whether each of the heterocycles involved in the following acid-base equilibria is aromatic or not (show your working). Use your findings to explain which of the nitrogen atoms in the indazole ring is more basic, i.e. which would be the product of indazole protonation, compound A or compound B? + H* + H* N: - H* - H* H CH3 CH3 CH3 A 1-methyl-1H-indazole

can you please try to answer this question for me again, in a clear way and a bit of explanation for each mechanisms?
Please don't provide handwritten solution ....
help please answer in text form with proper workings and explanation for each and every part and steps with concept and introduction no AI no copy paste remember answer must be in proper format with all working
Provide the complete mechanism using Curved Arrow Formalism for the reaction of 2-isopropylcyclopentanone treated with pyrrolidine in acid. If more than one product is generated state which is major and minor and explain why this is so. Include all resonance stabilized intermediates. Name the functional group generated.
How does increasing base, solvent, or alkyl halide or aptly halide + base affect or decreasing them affect the reaction rate for e2/e1 and sn2/sn1? Please provide examples
2. Draw in the curved arrow mechanism and predict the major, neutral product consistent with the fact that the only interesting peak in the IR is a broad, symmetrical stretch at 3253 cm²¹. In reality, this is not the final, most stable product possible. We will discuss more in chapter 21. Assume H₂O is present in a large excess as solvent. Show all bonds formed and all bonds broken. Be sure to draw all intermediates and include formal charge where applicable. In a few words, describe the regioselectivity of the reaction. H3O+ H₂O
For problem 8.17, all of the reactions will be SN2. For each reaction, identify and evaluate each nucleophile (strong? weak? Strong or weak as a base?) Also, evaluate each solvent as polar protic or polar aprotic. I recommend drawing the structure of each solvent.
