For each reaction in question 20, sketch a reaction coordinate energy diagram indicating the starting materials, transition states and any intermediates, if present, in the reaction. Don't worry about the absolute energy of starting materials and products but you can assume that the product is more stable than the starting materials.
For the trans isomer of cinnamic acid:
o Draw the structure of the trans isomer of cinnamic acid and the structure of the
intermediate bromonium ion. Note that the bromonium ion can exist as two enantiomeric
forms. You should draw both of these isomeric forms.
o Draw the structures of the two dibrominated products which can form when a bromide
ion adds to the bromonium ion intermediate. These must be drawn to show the correct
stereochemistry. Assign the chiral carbons as R or S.
Draw the most stable resonance form for the intermediate in the following electrophilic substitution reaction.
LOCH3
LOCH3
HNO3 / CH3CO₂H
O₂N
• You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
• Include all valence lone pairs in your answer.
●
In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.
