If phenoxide ion is allowed to react with 1-bromopentane, pentyl phenyl ether is obtained. However, if cyclohexane is used as the alkyl halide, the major products are phenol and cyclohexene. Explain how these products were formed.
Alkylation of benzene with 1-chlorobutane in the presence of AlCl3 gave not only the expected butylbenzene product but also, as a major product, (1-methylpropyl)benzene.
Write an equation for the reaction
Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of butylbenzene
Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of (1-methylpropyl)benzene
Addition of HBr to 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene gives a mixture of two isomeric alkyl bromide products. Draw structures for the two products, and give a mechanistic explanation for their formation.
