Propose a mechanism for the conjugate addition of a nucleophile ( Nuc:" ) to acrylonitrile (
CH,=CHCN ). Use resonance forms to show how the cyano group activates the double
bond for conjugate addition.
Compelling evidence for the existence of a tetrahedral intermediate in nucleophilic acyl substitution was obtained in a series
of elegant experiments carried out by Myron Bender in 1951. The key experiment was the reaction of aqueous "OH with ethyl
benzoate (CeHgCoOCH,CH3) labeled at the carbonyl oxygen with 190. Bender did not allow the hydrolysis to go to completion,
and then examined the presence of a label in the recovered starting material. He found that some of the recovered ethyl
benzoate no longer contained a label at the carbonyl oxygen. With reference to the accepted mechanism of nucleophilic acyl
substitution, explain how this provides evidence for a tetrahedral intermediate.
The starting materiai contains a
label on the carbonyl oxygen.

CH5 OCH,CH,

Unlabeled starting
material was recovered.
The following reaction involves two sequential Heck reactions. Draw structural formu-
las for each organopalladium intermediate formed in the sequence and show how the
final product is formed. Note from the molecular formula given under each structural
formula that this conversion corresponds to a loss of H and I from the starting material.

- Br 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.

The best Michael reactions are those that take place when a particularly stable enolate anion is formed via treatment of the donor with a strong base. Alternatively, milder conditions can be used if an enamine is chosen as the donor, this variant is termed the Stork reaction. In the second step, the donor adds to the ẞ-carbon of the acceptor in a conjugate addition, generating a new enolate. The enolate abstracts a proton from solvent or from a new donor molecule to give the conjugate addition product. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
