H3C CH3 H3C NA C→XT Br Br₂ CH₂Cl₂ H3C Electrophilic addition of bromine, Br₂, 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 CH₂Cl₂. CH3 Br 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 Br CH3 H3C CH3
a) Sketch the energy diagram for the conversion of tertiary butyl bromide to methyl t-butyl ether. Note that this is a two step reaction with the t-butyl cation as an intermediate. Assume that this is overall an exothermic reaction. Show the location of both transition states and the intermediate. The first step has the higher energy of activation and is the rate determining step. (CH3)3C-Br ------> (CH3)3C+ + Br- (CH3)3C+ + H3CO- ------> (CH3)3C-O-CH3 (b)Draw the curved arrow mechanism and the transition state when the tertiary butyl carbocation reacts with the methoxide ion to give an ether.

One of the product tubes will be treated with Br2 as a test to see if it contains an alkene. Although Br2 is reddish brown, it becomes colorless after it adds across a double bond. Therefore, a positive test is indicated by a color change. Show the mechanism of the reaction between your alkene product and Br2: To test your sample, un-stopper a test tube containing the product gas, QUICKLY add 5 drops of 1 M Br2, and stopper your sample tube again. The product gas is heavier than room air, so don't panic...it won't escape THAT fast. On the other hand, don't wait around forever before re-stoppering your sample tube...otherwise your product may escape. Shake the stoppered test tube vigorously to allow the Br2 to make contact with the gas. Note your observations below. Observation
