. You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
• You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms.
• In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.
Compounds X and Y are both C5H11CI products formed in the radical chlorination of pentane.
Base-promoted E2 elimination of X and Y gives, in each case, a single C5H10 alkene (ignoring double bond
stereochemistry).
Both X and Y react in SN2 fashion with sodium iodide in acetone; Y reacts faster than X.
What is the structure of Y?
• 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.
• Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right
corner.
• Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu.

- Reaction of this bicycloalkene with bromine in carbon tetrachloride gives a trans dibromide. In both (a) and (b), the bromine atoms are trans to each other. However, only one of these products is formed. Which trans dibromide is formed? How do you account for the fact that it is formed to the exclusion of the other trans dibromide?arrow_forwardHw.203.arrow_forwardElectrophilic addition to an alkene proceeds via Markovnikov regiochemistry due to the formation of the more stable carbocation intermediate. In the case of conjugated dienes, that is dienes that are separated by one sigma bond, the carbocation that is formed is stabilized additionally by resonance. Addition of the nucleophile to the carbocation intermediate can therefore give two types of products: direct addition to the double bond, also called 1,2-addition, and conjugate addition to the resonance stabilized carbocation, also called 1,4-addition.Allylic carbocation stability is affected by both the nature of the carbocation (primary allylic, secondary allylic, or tertiary allylic) and by the degree of substitution of the double bond. The latter is typically the dominant effect and so a primary allylic carbocation with a trisubstituted double bond is more stable than a tertiary allylic carbocation with a monosubstituted double bond.Electrophilic addition to a conjugated diene is…arrow_forward

Please solve my both questions.thank you.arrow_forwardWhich statement about Markovnikov's rule is correct? Radical addition of HBr to an alkene produces a Markovnikov product. Markovnikov's rule dictates that the more stable alkene is the major product. Addition of water to alkenes via hydroboration-oxidation produces a Markovnikov product. O Markovnikov's rule is a consequence of carbocation intermediate stability. Markovnikov's rule dictates that hydrogen is attracted to the side of the alkene with more hydrogens through intramolecular forces.arrow_forward2.
