Interpretation:
The given
Concept Introduction:
Carbocation: it is carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.
Leaving group: it is a fragment that leaves from a substrate with a pair of electrons via heterolytic bond cleavage.
Carbocation stability order:
Resonance stabilization: Due to the delocalization of electrons within the molecule the overall energy becomes lower and makes that molecule more stable.
Nucleophile: Nucleophiles are species that donate an electron pair and are also termed as electron-hating species.
Electrophile: Electrophiles are species that accept an electron pair and are also termed as electron-loving species.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given alkenes should be arranged in increasing rate when they react with

- Draw the alkene that would react with the reagent given to account for the product formed. CH3 HCI CH3 CHCCH, ? + Či CH3 You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.arrow_forwardDraw a structural formula for the alkene with the molecular formula C5H10 that reacts with Br2 to give each product.arrow_forwardExplain the apparent paradox. Although the addition of one equivalent of HX to an alkyne is more exothermic than the addition of HX to an alkene, an alkene reacts faster with HX.arrow_forward
- Ethers can be prepared by reaction of an alkoxide or phenoxide ion with a primary alkyl halide. Draw the structure of the expected organic product of the reaction of iodomethane with the following alkoxide ion: CH3 H3C O Na You do not have to consider stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading. • Do not include counter-ions, e.g., Na", I, in your answer. орy вste ChemDoodlearrow_forwardExplain the different products of the following two reactions by considering the mechanism by which each reaction proceeds. As part of your explanation, use the curved arrow formalism to draw a mechanism for each reaction.

Circle the alkene with the HIGHEST stability and X the alkene with the HIGHEST heat of hydrogenation. Give reasons for your choice.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardDraw the structural formula of the enol formed in each alkyne hydration reaction; then draw the structural formula of the carbonyl compound with which each enol is in equilibriumarrow_forward1) 3- Methyl-2-butanol will react with H2SO4 to give two isomeric alkenes. Write suitable reaction mechanism to show how these isomeric products are achieved and indicate the major product. Write the IUPAC name for each product.arrow_forward
- Describe how 1-ethylcyclohexanol can be prepared from cyclohexane. You can use any inorganic reagents, any solvents, and any organic reagents as long as they contain no more than two carbons.arrow_forwarddraw the two possible carbocations that can form when this alkene reacts with a strong acid (such as HBr or H3O+). of the two structures you drew, circle the more stable carbocationarrow_forwardDraw the formulas of the reactants and products of the reaction: 2-ethylbutanoyl bromide with excess ethylmagnesium bromide and heating the product with concentrated H2SO4.arrow_forward
