- a. HN02 H12504 b. draw the resonance C. Which resonance Structure is most stable ? would react faster than tollene at 400°C. Wing?arrow_forwardBromide Bhas normal activity (for a secondary bromide) towards SN1 substitution, but A has much higher reactivity and Chas much lower reactivity.arrow_forwardLabel the radicals below from the most stable (1) to the least (4).arrow_forward
- Rank the following radicals in order of increasing stability.arrow_forwardG.154.arrow_forwardThe Diels–Alder reaction, a powerful reaction discussed in Chapter 14, occurs when a 1,3-diene such as A reacts with an alkene such as B to form the six-membered ring in C. a.Draw curved arrows to show how A and B react to form C. b.What bonds are broken and formed in this reaction? c.Would you expect this reaction to be endothermic or exothermic? d.Does entropy favor the reactants or products? e. Is the Diels–Alder reaction a substitution, elimination, or addition?arrow_forward
- Which is the most stable: 3,4-dimethyl-2-hexene, 2,3-dimethyl-2-hexene, or 4,5-dimethyl-2-hexene? a. Which compound has the largest heat of hydrogenation? b. Which compound has the smallest heat of hydrogenation?arrow_forwardAddition of HCl to alkene X forms two alkyl halides Y and Z.a.Label Y and Z as a 1,2-addition product or a 1,4-addition product. b. Label Y and Z as the kinetic or thermodynamic product and explain why. c.Explain why addition of HCl occurs at the indicated C=C (called an exocyclic double bond), rather than the other C=C (called an endocyclic double bond).arrow_forwardWhich species in each pair is more stable?arrow_forward
