Transcribed Image Text:### Figure 12-4: Reaction Mechanism
This image illustrates the mechanism of a chemical reaction involving a cyclic compound with a methoxy group (–OCH₃) and a methyl group (–CH₃). The reaction uses hydrobromic acid (HBr) as a reagent.
#### Step-by-Step Explanation:
1. **Starting Material:**
- The cyclic compound on the left has a methoxy group and a methyl group attached to the ring.
2. **Reaction with HBr:**
- The reaction proceeds with hydrobromic acid (HBr) as indicated by the arrow.
3. **Product:**
- The product on the top right shows a cyclic compound with both methoxy and bromine (Br) substituents. It is labeled as forming 100% of the observed product.
4. **Unobserved Product:**
- Another possible product, not observed in the reaction, is shown. It has the bromine and methoxy groups in different positions, with a note indicating "not observed."
5. **Carbocation Intermediates:**
- **Structure A:**
- A carbocation intermediate is shown with a hydrogen atom.
- **Structure B:**
- Another positively charged intermediate involves a rearrangement with oxygen.
- **Structure C:**
- Resonance structures, indicated by double-headed arrows, show stabilization of the carbocation by the methoxy group.
These diagrams detail the stepwise progression of the reaction and highlight the stability and selectivity of the formation of the final product through carbocation intermediates.
