Chapter 11, Problem 11.39P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the given apparent paradox is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The addition of an electrophile to an alkyne is followed by Markovnikoff’s rule and anti-stereoselectivity. The electrophilic addition reaction of alkynes is highly exothermic as compared to the electrophilic addition reaction of alkenes. Due to this reason, the rate of addition reaction in case of alkenes is faster than the rate of addition reaction in alkynes.

Based on the characteristics of the carbonyl group (C = O), what reactions or transformations take place with aldehydes and ketones? a. nucleophilic additions by oxygenb. electrophilic additions by carbon attackc. nucleophilic additions by carbon attackd. electrophilic substitutions through a carbocationand. acid-base because carbonyl can act as both an electrophile and a nucleophile
Why are alkynes less reactive than alkenes toward electrophilic addition? Triple bonds are stronger than double bonds. O Hyperconjugation stabilizes the intermediate from an alkyne more than the intermediate from an alkene. O Alkynes are less stable than alkenes. Only one bond must be broken in the addition of an electrophile to an alkene. The n-complex that is formed from an alkyne is less stable than the alkyl cation intermediate that is formed from an alkene.
What is the slow, rate-determining step, in the acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2- butanol? Loss of a b-hydrogen from the carbocation to form an alkene. Protonation of the alcohol to form an oxonium ion. Loss of water from the oxonium ion to form a carbocation. The simultaneous loss of a B-hydrogen and water from the oxonium ion.
