- Two diastereomeric sets of enantiomers, A/B and C/D, exist for 3-bromo-2-butanol. When enantiomer A or B is treated with HBr, only racemic 2,3-dibromobutane is formed; no meso isomer is formed. When enantiomer C or D is treated with HBr, only meso 2,3-dibromobutane is formed; no racemic 2,3-dibromobutane is formed. Account for these observations.arrow_forwardPredict the products/ identify the reactants in the following reactions- draw the structure and show the stereochemistry of the products.

- 78) Why are primary alcohols more acidic than tertiary alcohols, in general? Because tertiary alcohols have less acidic hydrogens. Because primary alcohols have less electron-donating groups which create more effective charge separation between oxygen and hydrogen atom, making it more acidic. Because primary alcohols are more polar than tertiary alcohols. Because primary alcohols have less electron-donating groups which decrease electron density on oxygen, making it more susceptible for H+ to depart from the structure.arrow_forwardWhy is ethanol least acidic?arrow_forwardWhat is the major product of this reaction? olo Br2 (one equivalent) ?

- Methyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Methyl isocyanate reacts with strong acids, such as sulfuric acid, to form a cation. Will this molecule undergo protonation more readily on its oxygen or nitrogen atom? In considering contributing structures to each hybrid, do not consider structures in which more than one atom has an incomplete octetarrow_forwardWhich of the following reactions are correct?
