Chapter 18.SE, Problem 49AP

Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a 1, 2-epoxycyclohexane produces a transdiaxial 1, 2-diol. What product would you expect to obtain from acidic hydrolysis of cis-3-tert-butyl-l, 2-epoxycyclohexane? (Recall that the bulky tert-butyl group locks the cyclohexane ring into a specific conformation.)

Acid-catalyzed dehydration of 3-methyl-2-pentanol gives three alkenes: 3-methyl-1-pentene, 3-methyl-2-pentene, and 3-methylenepentane. Draw the structure of the carbocation intermediate leading to the formation of 3-methyl-2-pentene.

The reaction of Hbr with 2-methylpropene produces 2-bromo-2-methylpropane. What is the structure of the carbocation formed during the reaction?
