Chapter 9.SE, Problem 18MP
Interpretation Introduction

a)

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 9.SE, Problem 18MP , additional homework tip  1

Interpretation:

Assuming that halogens add to alkynes in the same manner as they add to alkenes, a mechanism is to be proposed and the product(s) expected for the reaction in which two equivalents of Br2 adds to 2-butyne is/are to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Alkynes when treated with one equivalent of a halogen yield a dihaloalkene as the product. They react with two equivalents of the halogens to yield a tetrahaloalkane derivative. In the first step of the addition reaction the nucleophilic attack of the π electrons of the double/triple bond in alkene/alkyne on a halogen results in the formation of a cyclic halonium ion with the simultaneous elimination of a halide ion. In the second step the halide ion attacks the cyclic halonium ion to yield the product.

To propose:

A mechanism and to predict the product(s) expected for the reaction in which two equivalents of Br2 adds to 2-butyne assuming that bromine adds to alkynes in the same manner as they add to alkenes.

Interpretation:

Assuming that halogens add to alkynes in the same manner as they add to alkenes, a mechanism is to be proposed and the product(s) expected for the reaction in which two equivalents of Cl2 adds to 1-phenylpropyne is/are to be predicted.

Interpretation:

Assuming that halogens add to alkynes in the same manner as they add to alkenes, a mechanism is to be proposed and the product(s) expected for the reaction in which two equivalents of Br2 adds to 1-pentyne is/are to be predicted.

The rate law for addition of Br2Br2 to an alkene is first order in Br2Br2 and first order in the alkene. Does this information suggest that the mechanism of addition of Br2Br2 to an alkene proceeds in the same manner as for addition of HBr? Explain.
An isomer of tetramethylbenzene undergoes nitration to yield a single product. Based on this information, which isomer(s) of tetramethylbenzene could the starting material have been?
Please answer this Can you give examples to explain Addition reactions-general characteristics Benzene rings do not reactthi like alkenes Remember, the electrophile adds to the less substituted carbon, and the nucleophile to the more substituted carbon. Markovnikov’s Rule: The addition of a hydrogen halide to an alkene favors the product in which the proton adds to the alkene carbon that is initially bonded to the greater number of hydrogen atoms. Carbocation rearrangements- Methyl groups and hydride groups can migrate to make a more stable carbocation. A primary carbocation is less stable than a secondary carbocation, which is less stable than a tertiary carbocation.   Addition of A Strong Bronsted Acid Hydrohalogenation HX addition to an alkene. Goes through a carbocation intermediate. The electrophile (H+) adds to the less substituted carbon, and the carbocation forms on the more substituted carbon. The nucleophile (X-) then adds to the more substituted carbocation.…
