Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
- The resonance contributors for the cyclooctatrienyldianion has to be investigated.
Concept Introduction:
Resonance Contributor: The appropriate structure with the localized electrons is called a resonance contributor, a resonance structure, or a contributing resonance structure.
Delocalized electrons: The sharing of electrons between two or more atoms known as delocalization of electrons. In order to have delocalized electrons, the system must be planar and have alternative double bonds and single bonds.
Resonance hybrid: the actual structure with delocalized electrons is called a resonance hybrid.

- Devise a stepwise synthesis of each compound from dicyclopentadiene using a Diels–Alder reaction as one step. You may also use organic compounds having ≤ 4 C's, and any required organic or inorganic reagents.arrow_forward. Base . The imol 1. The forme e. Bas perfo In 1 Orav cta 1. Steric hindrance is the unfavorable electron-electron repulsion that results when bonds are forced too close to each other. a. Draw the SN2 mechanism using curved arrows for the reaction of bromoethane with Nu:-. siz b. Draw the SN2 mechanism using curved arrows for the reaction of 2-bromopropane with Nu:. vtisizvod c. Given that steric hindrance is unfavorable, predict whether the SN2 reaction of bromoethane or 2- bromopropane would be faster. d. Determine in general the order of reactivity of all alkyl halides in an SN2 reaction (methyl, 1º, etc.)arrow_forwardDraw the products formed (including stereoisomers) in each reaction.arrow_forward

Draw the major regioisomer resulting from monobromination of cyclohexene with N-bromosuccinimide. If this major regioisomer is produced as a mixture of stereoisomers, draw each stereoisomer and indicate the relative amount of each stereoisomer (That is, if one stereoisomer is formed preferentially label it is as "major." If both are formed in equal amounts label each as "50%"). b. Draw an arrow pushing reaction mechanism for this reaction. You should draw an initiation step, two propagation steps, and two possible termination steps for the radical chain reaction and clearly label which step is which. Your mechanism can use Br2 as the source of bromine radicals in the initiation step that will be present as a minor, low concentration impurity in the NBS. 36°Farrow_forward
