- Bicyclo-2,5-heptadiene can be prepared in two steps from cyclopentadiene and vinyl chloride. Provide a mechanism for each step.arrow_forwardAll rearrangements we have discussed so far have involved generation of an electron-deficient carbon followed by a 1,2-shift of an atom or a group of atoms from an adjacent atom to the electron-deficient carbon. Rearrangements by a 1,2-shift can also occur following the generation of an electron-deficient oxygen. Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of cumene hydroperoxide to phenol and acetone.arrow_forwardGive a mechanism that accounts for the organic products of this reaction. Your mechanism must include a transition state that accounts for the stereochemistry of the product and/or reactant. Redraw the reagents as needed. CI OH NaOH, DMSO + NaClarrow_forward
- The reaction of methylpropene with HBr, under radical conditions, gives two intermediates. Propose a mechanism for the formation of the two products. Propose a mechanism for the following reaction and use electronic factors to account for the formation of a major product: CH2 CH2Br N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) ho, CCI4 Draw the structure of an antioxidant, Vitamin E free radical and use resonance structures o account for its stability.arrow_forwardDraw the mechanism of the hydroboration reaction for 1-octene. Why are carbocation rearrangements not observed in this reaction?arrow_forwardButa-1,3-diene reacts with Br2 to yield a mixture of 1,2- and 1,4-addition products. Show the structures of both.arrow_forward
- Write a mechanism that accounts for the formation of ethyl isopropyl ether as one of the products in the following reaction. CI OEt HCI EtOH Write the mechanism for step one of this reaction. Show lone pairs and formal charges. Only the acidic hydrogen should be drawn out with a covalent bond. Write the mechanism for step two of this reaction (where the product of step one reacts with the solvent, ethanol). Show lone pairs and formal charges. Only the acidic hydrogen should be drawn out with a covalent bond. Write the mechanism for the last step of this reaction (formation of ethyl isopropyl ether). Show lone pairs and formal charges. Only the acidic hydrogen should be drawn out with a covalent bond. CI will act as the base in this reaction.arrow_forwardName (including E/Z stereochemistry) the five alkenes that can produce 3-bromo-3-methylhexane on reaction with HBr. Draw the skeletal structure of each molecule.arrow_forward3-Chloro-1-butene reacts with sodium ethoxide in ethanol to produce 3-ethoxy-1- butene. The reaction is second order, first order in 3-chloro-1-butene, and first order in sodium ethoxide. In the absence of sodium ethoxide, 3-chloro-1-butene reacts with ethanol to produce both 3-ethoxy-1-butene and 1-ethoxy-2-butene. Explain these results.arrow_forward
- Give all the monobromination products of 2-methylpropane (or isobutane) in presence of heat or energy. Identify the major product and propose a mechanism leading to the formation of the major product. Provide a reaction in the termination step.arrow_forwardBr Brz CH3 CH3 H3C CH2CI2 H3C Br Electrophilic addition of bromine, Br2; to alkenes yields a 1,2-dibromoalkane. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic intermediate known as a bromonium ion. The reaction occurs in an anhydrous solvent such as CH,Cl). In the second step of the reaction, bromide is the nucleophile and attacks at one of the carbons of the bromonium ion to yield the product. Due to steric clashes, the bromide ion always attacks the carbon from the opposite face of the bromonium ion so that a product with anti stereochemistry is formed. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
