Chapter 11, Problem 11.54P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the addition of RCl across a double bond in the presence of AlCl3 is to be proposed.

Concept introduction:

AlCl3 is a strong Lewis acid. When it is added to an alkyl chloride, it leads to the dissociation of the alkyl chloride to a carbocation and chloride ion. The carbocation can then react with any available nucleophile.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The two possible isomers that can form on treating 2-methylpropene with 2-chloropropane in the presence of AlCl3 are to be determined on the basis of the mechanism from Part (a). The major product of the two is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

AlCl3 is a strong Lewis acid. When it is added to an alkyl chloride, it leads to the dissociation of the alkyl chloride to a carbocation and chloride ion. The carbocation can then react with any nucleophile available.
