- 2-Chloro-2-methylpropane reacts with water in three steps to yield 2- methyl-2-propanol. The first step is slower than the second, which in turn is much slower than the third. The reaction takes place slowly at room temperature, and the equilibrium constant is approximately 1. a. Give approximate values for ΔG and ΔG° that are consistent with the above information. b. Draw an energy diagram for the reaction, labeling all points of interest and making sure that the relative energy levels on the diagram are consistent with the informationarrow_forwardThere are two mechanisms by which each of the C1 atoms in the following molecule can be replaced by another group: ⚫ Mechanism 1: The C1 atom can be replaced with a concerted, bimolecular step. Mechanism 2: The C1 atom can be replaced in several steps, the slowest of which is unimolecular. Highlight in red the C1 atom that would be replaced the fastest if the reaction went Mechanism 1. Highlight in blue the C1 atom that would be replaced the fastest if the reaction went Mechanism 2. If you would choose the same C1 to be replaced fastest by both mechanisms, highlight it in green instead. C1 cl.

The following compounds are major products of an elimination reaction with an alkyl halide. Determine the structure of the alkyl halide. Write the overall reaction mechanism. Tip: Remember your Markovnikov’s rule. Follow the progress of the reaction and look at the stability of the intermediate products and transition states to determine the minor and major products.arrow_forwardDraw the energy diagram of the following reaction (label and draw reactants, intermediates, and products). Label transition state of the rate limiting step and draw the transition state of the rate determining step. Is it a concerted or stepwise reaction? Write the rate law for this reaction. How do we increase the reaction rate? If we use deutrium-tert-butyl bromide such as (CD3)3CBr instead of (CH3)3CBr, will it increase or decrease the reaction rate? Or there is no meaningful rate change. Write reasons for your answer. Draw mechanisms for reactions by drawing arrows and intermediates.arrow_forward
