Chapter 13, Problem 57P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An explanation for the different products obtained by the reaction of 3,3-dimethylbut-1-ene with HBr alone and with HBr+peroxide is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Alkenes and alkynes show addition reaction due to presence of one and two pi-bonds, respectively. Alkanes show substitution reaction due to absence of pi-bond. The addition reaction of alkenes with HBr takes place according to Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov rule.

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.
