Concept Introduction:
Enantiomers are stereoisomers of a compound which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Enantiomers are optically active.
Electrophiles are electron deficient species which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles which accept electron pair.
Nucleophiles are electron rich species which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles which donate electron pair.
Free radical is an atom, molecule or ion that has unpaired electrons which makes it highly chemically reactive.
Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a
Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.
Carbocation is a molecule having a carbon atom bearing three bonds and a positive formal charge.
Carbocation are generally unstable because they do not have eight electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
The order of stability of carbocation is such that the tertiary carbocation is the most stable whereas the primary carbocation is the least stable, and secondary carbocation lies between primary and tertiary carbocations.
If primary carbocation is obtained in product, it rearranges itself to secondary or tertiary carbocation to form more stable product.
If secondary carbocation is obtained in product, it rearranges itself to tertiary carbocation to form more stable product.
The stability of carbocation:

- The heat of hydrogenation of cis-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-hexene is -154 kJ (-36.7 kcal)/ mol, while that of the trans isomer is only -113 kJ (-26.9 kcal)/mol. Q.) If a catalyst could be found that allowed equilibration of the cis and trans isomers at room temperature (such catalysts do exist), what would be the ratio of trans to cis isomers?arrow_forwardOnly three stereoisomers are possible for 2,3-dibromo-2, 3-dichlorobutane. Draw them, indicating which pair are enantiomers (optical isomers). Why does the other isomer not have an enantiomer?arrow_forwardDraw the structure of the expected organic product(s) formed in the following reactions including correct stereochemistry. If the product is racemic write racemic or draw both isomers. Assume all reagents listed are present in excess unless otherwise noted. If no reaction occurs, state "No Reaction''.arrow_forward
- The major product of the following reaction exists as two stereoisomers. Draw both isomers: show all hydrogen atoms in the structures. Use wedge and dash bonds to indicate the stereochemistry (you don’t need to draw wedge and dash bonds for C-H bonds of CH3 and CH2 groups). Assign stereo configuration of the asymmetric carbon atoms and write the relationship between two isomers.arrow_forwardDraw the alkene that would react with the reagent given to account for the product formed. CH3 HCI CH3 CHCCH, ? + Či CH3 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.arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forward
- Treatment of cyclohexene with C6H5CHI2 and Zn(Cu) forms two stereoisomers of molecular formula C13H16. Draw their structures and explain why two compounds are formed.arrow_forward4. Draw all the stereoisomers of (a) 3-chloro-2-pentanol and (b) 2-bromo-3-hydroxybutane. Give the stereochemistry relationships of stereoisomers (indicate which isomers are enantiomers / diastereomers).arrow_forwardWould someone be able to explain conformationally locked enantiomers? What types of structures go under this category and are they still optically active?arrow_forward
- Draw the structure(s) of all of the alkene isomers, C5H10, that contain a branched chain. Consider E/Z stereochemistry of alkenes.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of the expected organic product(s) formed in the following reactions including correct stereochemistry. If the product is racemic write both isomers or write racemic. Assume all reagents listed are present in excess unless otherwise noted. If no reaction occurs, state ''No Reaction".arrow_forwardThe stereochemistry of the products of reduction depends on the reagent used, as you learned in Sections 20.5 and 20.6. With this in mind, how would you convert 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one [CH3COC(CH3)3] to: (a) racemic 3,3-dimethylbutan-2- ol [CH3CH(OH)C(CH3)3]; (b) only (R)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol; (c) only (S)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol?arrow_forward
