Chapter 13, Problem 2PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The resonance structures for the carbocation formed by (E)2butenyltrifluoromethanesulfonate are to be drawn and the resonance structure that contribute greater to the hybrid is to be determined. Also the products formed by the reaction of carbocation with a chloride ion are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Secondary and tertiary carbocations are more stable than a primary carbocation.

Resonance is defined as the movement of pi-electrons from one carbon to another in order to stabilize the charged intermediates.
