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.
4. The reaction of the epoxide with methoxide produces one of the two constitutional
isomers of methoxy-methylcyclopentanol shown below. Write the steps in the
mechanism for this process. Be sure to show the following: (1) the structure of any
intermediates that are formed during the mechanism, (2), what, if anything, is added or
lost during each step of the mechanism, (3) any non-zero formal charges found on the
structures that you write. REMEMBER: You may not use any materials except those that
are given in the equation.

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.
