Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The bond order of each carbon-carbon bond in the allyl cation is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structure is a blend of two or more Lewis structures. Resonance structures are represented by a double headed arrow between the structures. Two resonance structures are possible for the allyl cation.
(b)
Interpretation:
The positive charge which resides on each carbon of the allyl cation is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structure is a blend of two or more Lewis structures. Resonance structures are represented by a double headed arrow between the structures. Two resonance structures are possible for the allyl cation.
(c)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why the structure on the right is not a reasonable resonance structure is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Resonance structure is a blend of two or more Lewis structures. Resonance structures are represented by a double headed arrow between the structures. Two resonance structures are possible for the allyl cation.

- As the lead product manager at OrganometALEKS Industries, you are trying to decide if the following reaction will its major product: 2,0° with a new C-C bond as If this reaction will work, draw the major organic product or products you would expect in the drawing aree below. If there's more than one major product, you can draw them in any arrangement you like. Be sure you use wedge and desh bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. If the major products of this reaction won't have a new C-C bond, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank.arrow_forwardwrite the mechanism of the nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction, please give an examplearrow_forwardThe compound in the figure is reacted with 10 n-butyllihium, 2° propanone, and 3º H2O.
