Intermidiates and reagents of the following two final products from a Acetylene Note: the final products are different reactions but use the same starting material.
Question:In organic chemistry, the formation of carbocations is a critical step in many reactions. Consider the following scenario: A tertiary alcohol, 2-methyl-2-butanol, undergoes acid-catalyzed dehydration to form an alkene. However, when this reaction is attempted using concentrated sulfuric acid, an unexpected product is obtained. Explain the factors responsible for this unexpected product formation and propose a mechanism for the reaction.
In nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions that proceed by the nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism, the reaction rate increases as the electronegativity of the halogen leaving group increases: Ar-I < Ar-Br < Ar-CI < Ar-F. Which step does this suggest is the rate-determining step of the mechanism-the addition step or the elimination step? Explain.

H3C CH3 H3C NA C→XT Br Br₂ CH₂Cl₂ H3C Electrophilic addition of bromine, Br₂, to alkenes yields a 1,2-dibromoalkane. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic intermediate known as a bromonium ion. The reaction occurs in an anhydrous solvent such as CH₂Cl₂. CH3 Br In the second step of the reaction, bromide is the nucleophile and attacks at one of the carbons of the bromonium ion to yield the product. Due to steric clashes, the bromide ion always attacks the carbon from the opposite face of the bromonium ion so that a product with anti stereochemistry is formed. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions Br CH3 H3C CH3
