Chapter 6, Problem 6.16P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given alkenes should be arranged in increasing rate when they react with HI. The structural formula for major product obtained has to be indicated.

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:

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 6, Problem 6.16P , additional homework tip  1

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.

Arrange the alkenes in each set in order of increasing rate of reaction with HI and explain the basis for your ranking. Draw the structural formula of the major product formed in each case. (a) and (b) H3CH₂CHC=CH₂ and (H3C) 2C=CHCH3
Draw the structure of each product from the reaction of benzene with 2-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane using AlCl 3 as the catalyst and Identify the major product.
Treatment of a hydrocarbon A (molecular formula C9H18) with Br2 in the presence of light forms alkyl halides B and C, both having molecular formula C9H17Br. Reaction of either B or C with KOC(CH3)3 forms compound D (C9H16) as the major product. Ozonolysis of D forms cyclohexanone and acetone. Identify the structures of A–D.
