b)
Interpretation:
Whether 2-chlorobutane is expected to undergo Friedal-Crafts reaction with or without rearrangement is to be stated and explained.
Concept introduction:
Friedal-Crafts reaction is an electrophilic substitution reaction in which an aromatic compound reacts with an alkyl chloride in the presence of AlCl3 to produce an alkylbenzene. The electrophile in this reaction is an alkyl carbocation. The skeletal rearrangement of the alkyl carbocation electrophile either through a hydride shift or alkyl shift (particularly when a primary alkyl halide is used) can lead to the formation of rearranged product also in this reaction.

- Which carbocation is more stable?arrow_forwardAre the products of the given reaction correct? Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products. I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products. That's the opposite of what the question was asking. Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates"). In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?arrow_forward

An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 1.10 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions. Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the minimum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no lower limit, check the "no" box..
