(a)
Interpretation: The structure of the stereoisomers expected from the reaction of bromine with
Concept introduction:
The mechanism of
In the second step, the strained bromonium ion intermediate opens while
In accordance with Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules; if two high priority substituents happen to appear on opposite sides of olefinic bond then the absolute configuration for the alkene will be would be “E”.
(b)
Interpretation: Whether the stereochemistry of products drawn like or unlike should be identified.
Concept introduction:In order to assign absolute configuration of R and S, Cahn − Ingold − Prelog rules are used and the first step is to assign the priority order with the
In order to distinguish the relative stereochemistry of two chiral centers situated adjacent to one another, like or unlike notation is used.
For enantiomeric pairs that have same stereochemistry at adjacent carbon atoms, the notation “l” is designate “like” and notation “u” is designate “un-like”.

- 6 The reaction of HCI with 1-pentene produces only one product, 2-chloropentane. Why does this product form instead of 1-chloropentane? A. H+ and C¹- know what the "EL-NM" rule is and dutifully comply with it. B. H+ bonds to the C-1 alkene carbon in the first step, forming the more stable carbocation, with (+) charge on C-2, followed by bonding of Cl nucleophile to positively charged C-2. C. There is less steric hindrance if Cl- binds to C-2 and H* bonds to C-1. D. Cl- bonds to the C-2 alkene carbon in the first step, forming the more stable carbon anion with (-) charge on C-1, followed by bonding of H* electrophile to (-) charged C-1.arrow_forwardDraw the major organic product formed by reaction of 2-hexyne with the following reagent: BH3 followed by CH3COOH. .
