Which of the following statements describes accurately the mechanism of the bromination of alkenes? Choose all that apply. O As a consequence of the cylic bromonium ion and anti-addition, a maximum of two stereoisomers are formed even though the dihalide product may have two chiral carbons. O Instead of a carbocation intermediate, bromination forms a cyclic bromonium intermediate. O Asymmetric cis alkene will form only stereoisomer that is a meso compound. O The mechanism of the bromination of alkenes is absolutely the same as the general mechanism of electrophilic addition of alkenes. O The bromide ion can only add to the side opposite the C-Br bonds of the bromonium ion because of steric hindrance.

[References] Alkyl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions. When the kinetics of the reaction are measured, if the rate of the reaction is found to be dependent only upon the concentration of the alkyl halide the reaction is first order. The substitution reaction is thus termed SN1, and the elimination reaction is termed E1. These reactions are unimolecular and occur in two steps. The first step is rate-limiting and involves the loss of the leaving group to form a carbocation. In the second, fast, step the nucleophile adds to the carbocation in the SN1 reaction or elimination occurs to give an alkene in the E1 reaction. Because the carbocation is planar, the nucleophile can add to either face and therefore racemization is usually observed although solvent effects can influence this somewhat. E1 elimination follows Zaitsev's rule and typically yields the most substituted alkene as the major product. Conditions which favor the SN1/E1 pathway include the use of…
3) Fill in the red box(es) with the missing reactant(s), reagent(s), product(s), solvent, and/or conditions and write a reasonable mechanism for the reaction. Not every box needs to be used and not every box necessarily corresponds to only a single species. If no reaction occurs OR no reagents exist to perform the reaction state, "NOT POSSIBLE" AND explain why. Polymer HBr

Give the complete mechanism, including transition states, for the following reaction. Then draw the potential energy diagram for it and for similar alkylbromides of other substitution patterns. Give the rate law for this type of mechanism. Then give the rate trend based on substitution pattern and explain it using the rate law and potential energy diagram you have provided. Use additional sheets, make sure you draw large enough for your work to be clearly understood, and attach them in order. H" -CI HSCH3 ethanol H3CS- + H" -SCH 3 Explain why 1-chlorobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (shown below) even though it is a tertiary alkyl halide, is virtually unreactive in the SN1 reaction. It has been estimated that it is 10-13 times as reactive as tert-butyl chloride. Hint: consider the preferred geometry of the reactive intermediate.
Predict the product or starting material of the following alkene addition reactions. Remember, Hydride shifts are possible if/when a more stable carbocation can exist! Put your answers (organic products only) in the indicated boxes.
Part A: Describe the mechanism for dihydroxylation of an alkene through the use of a peroxide followed by the addition of water (in a basic or acidic environment). Part B: In terms of electron flow, which mechanism of an earlier chapter is the epoxidation most similar to?
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.
