Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.49P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The differences for stability of two given carbocations that is
Concept introduction:
Carbocation: The carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.
Carbocation stability order:
The general carbocation stability order is as follows,
Resonance stabilization: Due to the delocalization of electrons within the molecule the overall energy becomes lower and makes that molecule more stable.

Elimination of HBr from 2-bromobutane affords a mixture of 1-butene and 2-butene. With sodium ethoxide as base, 2-butene
constitutes 81% of the alkene products, but with potassium tert-butoxide, 2-butene constitutes only 67% of the alkene
products. Offer an explanation for this difference.
Are phenyl carbocations more stable than tertiary carbocations? Is there a carbocation that is more stable than a tertiary carbocation? If yes, what is the reason why it is more stable
Compounds X and Y are both C7H15Cl products formed in the radical chlorination of 2,4-dimethylpentane.
Base-promoted E2 elimination of X and Y gives, in each case, a single C7H₁4 alkene.
Both X and Y undergo an SN2 reaction with sodium iodide in acetone solution to give C7H15l products; in this reaction Y reacts faster than X.
What is the structure of X?
• Do not use stereobonds in your answer.
• In cases where there is more than one possible structure for each molecule, just give one for each.

The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization.
