Electrophilic bromination of an equimolar mixture of methylbenzene (toluene) and (trifluoromethyl)benzene with one equivalent of bromine gives exclusively 1-bromo-2-methylbenzene and 1-bromo-4-methylbenzene.
- Explain why none of the (trifluoromethyl)benzene reacts
- Explain the regiochemical outcome of the reaction In other words, why are 1-bromo-2-methylbenzene and 1-bromo-4-methylbenzene formed from the toluene?
Electrophilic nitration of benzoic acid gives almost exclusively 1,3-nitrobenzoic acid. By drawing the appropriate resonance forms of the intermediate cations resulting from attack of [NO2]+, explain this result.

Bicyclic keto compounds such as camphor react predictably with nucleophiles according to steric influences; this effect has been termed steric approach control. In contrast, the reaction of nucleophiles with simple acyclic and monocyclic keto compounds are influenced primarily by thermodynamic factors; this effect has been termed product development control. Given the following reaction, predict the identity of the major product and provide a rationale for your selection. ОН NABH4 t-Bu. t-Bu t-Bu.
