Interpretation:The manner the results ofaddition of bromine reaction experiment supports the hypothesis that this reaction proceeds via bromonium ion intermediate rather than carbocation should be given.
Concept introduction:Alkenes are considered electron-rich and undergo bromination addition reaction with
The mechanism of
In the second step, the strained bromonium ion intermediate opens while

- The following Walden cycle has been carried out. Explain the results, and indicate where Walden inversion occurs.arrow_forward3) While we expect to get one major product, this reaction could potentially have some issues with formation of multiple products. What is the relationship between the two major products that you might expect for the reaction of E-stilbene and dimethyl fumarate? Why will this not matter when you look at the NMR? 4) In addition to the issue raised in prelab Q3, 2,3-dihydrofuran and styrene will also give give two additional major products - what is their relationship, and will this matter when you look at the NMR?arrow_forwardWhy does naphthalene undergo electrophilic substitution at C1 instead of C2? Could you draw a structure for the intermediate that helps explain this?arrow_forward
- What are the key breakdown fragmentation pathways of the product 4-methoxyphenyl acetate?arrow_forwardWhat would the resulting products of bromine to trans-stilbene look like if the bromonium ion did NOT prevent free rotation?arrow_forward6. Which would be more appropriate as the reduction in the following sequence, a Clemmensen or a Wolff-Kishner? Explain. CHO 1. HOCH₂CH₂OH (1 eq), H* 2. reduction 3. H30* CHO 7. Which has the higher boiling point, 1-butanol or 1-butanamine?arrow_forward
- To what structural effect do you attribute the preference of methyl bromide over t-butyl bromide in an SN2 reaction? inductive effect a. b. hyperconjugation steric effect C.arrow_forwardWhich one of the following statements about arene oxides is FALSE? O The NIH shift is what makes arene oxides carcinogenic. O Ring opening of an arene oxide can afford an addition product and/or a rearranged product. O Large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzo[a]pyrene are especially susceptible to arene oxide formation. The NIH shift mechanism was discovered at the National Institutes of Health. O Cytochrome P450 is the powerful biological oxidant that epoxides an arene to give an arene oxide.arrow_forward2. Draw structures for the products you would expect to obtain from reaction of ß-D-galactopyranose with each of the following reagents. Be sure to include all relevant stereochemistry. USe Fischer projections as needed. XCH3I, Ag₂0 HO HO CH₂OH OH B-D-galactopyranose OH NaBH4 in H₂O XS (CH₂CO)₂O, pryridine CH,OH, HCIarrow_forward
- Provide two reasons why the compound below would be a good substrate for studying trypsin catalyzed reactions. NON CH,arrow_forwardWhich of the following tests can distinguish butanal from 2-butanone? O Lucas Test O 2,4-DNP test o ethanolic AGNO3 O lodoform testarrow_forwardThe dehydration of 1-phenylcyclohexanol with sulfuric acid follows an E1 pathway. What produces the substantial stability of the intermediate carbocation? Please explain using pictures and words.arrow_forward
