Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 4E
Draw the complete mechanism of each pair of reactants including any favorable rearrangements and all important resonance structures of all intermediates.
a. Which reaction has a lower PE carbocation intermediate?
b. Draw an energy diagram showing the reaction profiles of both reactions in the previous question. Use a dotted line for the first pair of reactants and a solid line for the second pair of reactants. (Assume the energy of the starting materials and products are the same for both pairs and the reactions are neither uphill nor downhill on net.
c. Mark points on the energy diagram corresponding to each carbocation in your mechanisms.
