Concept introduction: The general steps involved in the addition of halogens to alkenes are stated below:
• The first step is the electrophilic attack of halide ion to form a halonium ion.
• The second step is the attack of halide ion from back side to open the halonium ion.

Concept introduction: The general steps involved in the addition of halogens to alkenes are stated below:
• The first step is the electrophilic attack of halide ion to form a halonium ion.
• The second step is the attack of halide ion from back side to opens the halonium ion.
(c)
Interpretation: The relation between the two compounds formed in part (a) and (b) are to be stated.
Concept introduction: Diastereomers compounds are not mirror images of each other and are different in configuration at one or more stereocentres.
The isomers which have same molecular formula but different connectivity of atoms are constitutional isomers.

- 4 But-2-enal, CH₂CH=CHCHO, is a pale yellow, flammable liquid with an irritating odour. (a) But-2-enal exists as two stereoisomers. Draw skeletal formulae to show the structure of the two stereoisomers of but-2-enal. (b) (i) Describe a simple chemical test that would show that but-2-enal is an aldehyde. (ii) Explain why this test gives a different result with aldehydes than it does with keton (c) But-2-enal also reacts with sodium borohydride, NaBH4. (i) Identify the organic compound formed in this reaction. (ii) State the type of chemical reaction occurring. (d) Precautions must be taken to prevent but-2-enal catching fire. Construct a balanced equation for the complete combustion of but-2-enal, C₂HO.arrow_forwardWhat is the major organic product of the following reaction? (a) (b) NaBH4 CH3CH₂OH ? (c) (d) OHarrow_forwardDraw the organic product(s) formed upon the addition of HBr to (a) 2-methyl-2-pentene, (b) trans-2-hexene, and (c) 4-methylcyclohexene. How many regioisomers can be formed in each case?arrow_forward
- Ethers (general formula R—O—R)have many important uses. Until recently,methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE, right)was used as an octane booster and fueladditive for gasoline. It increases the oxy-gen content of the fuel, which reducesCO emissions. MTBE is synthesized bythe catalyzed reaction of 2-methylpropene with methanol.(a) Write a balanced equation for the synthesis of MTBE. (Hint:Alcohols add to alkenes similarly to the way water does.)(b) If the government required that auto fuel mixtures contain2.7% oxygen by mass to reduce CO emissions, how many gramsof MTBE would have to be added to each 100. g of gasoline?(c) How many liters of MTBE would be in each liter of fuel mix-ture? (The density of both gasoline and MTBE is 0.740 g/mL.)(d) How many liters of air (21% O₂ by volume) are needed at24C and 1.00 atm to fully combust 1.00 L of MTBE?arrow_forward(a) Draw the two isomeric dienes formed when CH2 = CHCH2CH(Cl)CH(CH3)2 is treated with an alkoxide base, (b) Explain why the major product formed in this reaction does not contain the more highly substituted alkene.arrow_forwardDraw the constitutional isomer formed when the attached alkenes are treated with each set of reagents: [1] H2O, H2SO4; or [2] BH3 followed by H2O2, −OH.arrow_forward
- Classify each of the following reactions as an addition, elimination, substitution, or rearrangement: (a) CH3Br + KOH → CH3OH + KBr(b) CH3CH2Br → H2C=CH2 + HBr(c) H2C=CH2 + H2 → CH3CH3arrow_forwardThe addition reaction of an acid (HBr) to an alkene (CH3CH=CH2) follows Markovnikov's rule and involves: A) initial attack by Br– B) initial attack by Br• C) isomerization of CH3CH2CH2Br D) formation of a primary carbocation. E) formation of a secondary carbonation. (F) Formation of allyl carbocationarrow_forwardDraw the alkene structure that produced the following compounds in an ozonolysis reaction as specified.arrow_forward
- (a) Chromic acid oxidation of 4-tert-butyl-1,2-dimethylbenzene yielded a single compound having the molecular formula C12H14O4. What was this compound?(b) What product is expected from chromic acid oxidation of 2,3-dihydroindene?arrow_forwardDraw the reaction products of the following reactions of the compound 1-pentanol and name the compounds according to IUPAC!

Why are two products formed in part (b), but only one in parts (a) and (c)? (a) 1-Hexene gives one alcohol with a molecular for- mula of C,H140. (b) 2-Hexene gives two alcohols, each with a molecu- lar formula of C,H140. (c) 3-Hexene gives one alcohol with a molecular for- mula of C6H140.arrow_forward
