- Why does bromination reactions occur only on more stable radicals? O a. Br₂ is less reactive than Cl₂. O b. Br₂ is more reactive than Cl₂. O c. Br₂ is less selective than Cl₂. O d. Both a and c.arrow_forwardConsider this reaction: Br CH;OH Br-Br H3CO The mechanism proceeds through a first cationic intermediate, intermediate 1. Nucleophilic attack leads to intermediate 2, which goes on to form the final product. In cases that involve a negatively charged nucleophile, the attack of the nucleophile leads directly to the product. Br + CH3OH Br Intermediate 1 Intermediate 2 (product) In a similar fashion, draw intermediate 1 and intermediate 2 (final product) for the following reaction. OH + Br2 + HBr Br racemic mixturearrow_forwardHBr addition to ethylene is exothermic. What does this mean? Options: The rate determining step is the first step. The newly formed bonds are more stable (higher dissociation energy) than those broken in the reactants. The carbocation intermediate is higher energy than the alkene. The reaction is very fast.arrow_forward
- Consider this organic reaction: CI OH Draw the major products of the reaction in the drawing area below. If there won't be any major products, because this reaction won't happen at a significant rate, check the box under the drawing area instead. No Reaction.

Label the reactant (R), product (P), intermediate (I"), and transition states (TS; and TS2), plus the axis with appropriate units/labels. 1) Break the diagram up into 2 steps. Which one is the slow step? The fast step? 2) Endothermic or exothermic? Suppose a is added to step one. Sketch the effect of this addition on the diagram. You can identify the intermediates and by remembering: Intermediates are and then Catalysts are added to a reaction (like a reactant), and are at the end. Practice: Identify the reactants, products, intermediate(s), and catalyst(s). Put a star next to the rate-determining step. Step 1 A+B AB (fastest) Step 2 C + AB → ABC Step 3 ABC + D→ ACD + B (fast) diyarrow_forward
