Predict the products of the following reaction The image depicts a chemical reaction. The starting material is isobutylene. It undergoes a reaction with hydrogen bromide (HBr) in the presence of tert-butyl peroxide ((t-BuO)₂) as a radical initiator. This setup suggests a free radical addition reaction, which typically results in the anti-Markovnikov addition of HBr to the double bond in isobutylene. The reaction involves the formation of a bromine radical that adds to the less substituted carbon atom of the double bond.

When HBr adds to (CH3)2C = CH2 under radical conditions, two radicals are possible products in the first step of chain propagation. Draw the structure of both radicals and indicate which one is formed. Then draw the preferred product from HBr addition under radical conditions.
All electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions occur via a two-step mechanism: addition of the electrophile to form a resonance-stabilized carbocation, followed by deprotonation by a base. In the step shown below, loss of a proton to form the substitution product was drawn using the resonance structure with the + 1 formal charge at the ortho position to the carbon bonded to the electrophile. Redraw the step shown with the other two resonance structures and use curved arrows to show how these other two resonance structures can be converted to the substitution product by removal of a proton with the base shown.

In nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions that proceed by the nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism, the reaction rate increases as the electronegativity of the halogen leaving group increases: Ar-I < Ar-Br < Ar-CI < Ar-F.

Alkynes do not react directly with aqueous acid as do alkenes, but will do so in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate as a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions -X티 Hö: H-O -CH3 -CH3 H30*
A benzene ring alters the reactivity of a neighboring group in the so-called “benzylic” position, similarly to how a double bond alters the reactivity of groups in the “allylic” position. Benzylic cations, anions, and radicals are all more stable than simple alkyl intermediates. a) Use resonance structures to show the delocalization of the positive charge, negative charge, and unpaired electron of the benzyl cation, anion, and radical.

CH3 CH3 Br- Br2 .CH3 CH2Cl2 CH3 H3C H3C Br Electrophilic addition of bromine, Brɔ, to alkenes yields a 1,2-dibromoalkane. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic intermediate known as a bromonium ion. The reaction occurs in an anhydrous solvent such as CH,Cl,. In the second step of the reaction, bromide is the nucleophile and attacks at one of the carbons of the bromonium ion to yield the product. Due to steric clashes, the bromide ion always attacks the carbon from the opposite face of the bromonium ion so that a product with anti stereochemistry is formed. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 H3C H3C :Br: :Br:
