The phenyl group, C,H, is known to be an ortho/para-directing group. (a) With that in mind, predict the product of the reaction shown here. (b) Justify why it is an ortho/para director by drawing the ortho, meta, and para arenium ion intermediates that would be formed during the course of the reaction. Br, FeBra

What is the mechanism of the diazo transfer to the following compound?
The hydrolysis of tert-butyl chloride proceeds less rapidly in a solvent mixture which is 15% water/85% acetone than in one which is 85% water/15% acetone. Why? O The reaction proceeds by an SN2 mechanism wherein the rate is increased by increasing the concentration of the nucleophile water. The solvent which contains a greater percentage of water is less polar, and this destabilizes the tert-butyl chloride. O None of the above. O The reaction proceeds by an SN1 mechanism wherein the rate is increased by increasing the concentration of the nucleophile water. O The transition state in the carbocation formation step is better stabilized in the more polar solvent mixture.
