Draw the structure(s) of the carbocation intermediate, including resonance contributors, to show why this is the case.
![### Educational Content: Reaction Mechanism and Carbocation Intermediate
#### Reaction Mechanism:
This exercise involves the reaction of an organic compound with HCl, leading to the formation of a single product. The goal is to determine the carbocation intermediate and including resonance contributors, that explain why this reaction yields only one product.
**Reaction:**
\[ \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{C}(\text{CH}_3)=\text{CH}_2 + \text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}(\text{Cl})\text{CH}_2\text{OCH}_3 \]
**Detailed Instructions:**
- You do not have to consider stereochemistry for this problem.
- Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner.
- Separate resonance structures using the ↔ symbol from the drop-down menu.
#### Diagram Explanation:
This image contains a simplified line-angle structural diagram, representing an alkene undergoing hydrohalogenation to form an alkyl halide.
1. **Starting Material:** The left of the arrow displays the starting structure:
- It is a compound with a double bond (alkene) and a methoxy group (-OCH₃).
2. **Reaction Conditions:** The reagent used is HCl.
3. **Product:** To the right of the arrow is the product, showing:
- The addition of a chlorine atom (Cl) on the carbon that was originally double-bonded, now forming an alkyl halide.
- The double bond is broken and the structure displays the corresponding alkyl chain with the methoxy group maintained.
4. **Carbocation Intermediate:**
- When the HCl is added to the alkene, the double bond breaks, and the more stable carbocation intermediate forms, based on Markovnikov's rule.
- Resonance structures will help in identifying the stability of the intermediate leading to the single observed product.
Use the bottom panel tool to draw these structures:
- **Sketching Area:** Provides various tools to draw chemical structures and resonance intermediates.
- **Toolbox:** Includes elements, bonds, rings, charges, etc., to assist in detailing the reaction intermediate and final product.
By understanding the electronic and structural reorganization during the reaction process, the reason for the formation of a single product can be compreh](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F50964770-d63c-43dd-b944-5732cb1ae4ff%2Fa5118053-e395-423f-810a-d88f15225bbb%2F1078jxi.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
